90% dark spots gone_still peeling slightly
Monday, 21 December - chin and mouth peels moderately nearly every day, cheeks - every few days, skin around eyes is a bit sensitive... 90% of spots on the forehead are gone despite of practically no peeling (btw, on 16 December applied think layer of Cosmelan 2 on several spots on the forehead and left overnight - 8 h - covered with food-wrapping plastic, it peeled there in 2 days and revealed beautiful skin).
"New" Cosmelan on Moderate Melasma/sun Spots
Tuesday, 15 December. I peeled quite a lot yesterday, except the forehead. Still manageable, not too visible without make-up. My skin looks much nicer though, especially on the cheeks. It's new and has a healthy glow. The dark spots on the forehead are still slightly visible, but so much lighter, even if I didn't nearly peel there. I go to work without make-up and for a first time in so many years feel OK with that.
Next days... Looks like it's working
Friday 11 December 21:00. Not going out, so washed my face and prepared for the ritual. The face is still not red, everything fine. Applying Cosmelan 2, however, burns significantly. Felt the need to re-apply Hydra vital factor K for a second time around 23:00.
Saturday 12 December 08:00. My cheeks are peeling slightly. Cosmelan 2 burns (in my scale strongly, in the scale of more sensitive people probably too much). When applying my ISDIN sunscreen with colour I notice that actually not only my cheek, but the whole face is peeling. This is a nice peel, if you put no make-up would not be noticeable. Time to change the sunscreen, I suppose. I hope that my skin will get much better in the meantime, so I will not have to feel bad of going out without make-up.
Sunday 13 December. Actually yesterday evening I managed to put some hydrating make-up (after showering dead skin was cleaned) and it stayed quite well. This morning there was more peeling,still quite invisible without make-up. The face is quite red though and a couple of people asked me whether I was in the sun. Nothing too embarrassing, but when exercising the face turned very very red and sweat is burning similarly to Cosmelan 2. Actually, applying Cosmelan 2 or Vital factor K cream burns the same way, but just for few minutes. My skin is also quite tight now and I need to apply Cosmelan very quickly after washing the face, because it gets very dry immediately. I still don't need to apply hydrating cream too often (after Cosmelan 3 x day+ one or two more times for more confort). I have also noticed that skin on one of my cheeks turned darker, which means a serious peel I suppose. Good that I can take my days off at the last moment, because if this serious peel is to happen on the whole face (and I don't know when, because for me it doesn't correspond with other people's experience), I would prefer to stay in ;)
