2017 Update - Melasma Almost Diminished
Good day to all. I found a product on eBay for $3.99 with 2% hydroquinone which has almost cleared totally my melasma. I have been using the cream nightly for about three weeks. I have tried other products which were advertised to eliminate the presence of melasma and have not found anything since Dr. Schelesinger's product. I have been seeking affordable products that work to share with those struggling. Additionally, I protect my skin against the sun with a product that prevents UVB UVA and IR. The products are below. Best of luck that you all will find something that works for your skin type.

Then you probably had epidermal melasma which just sits on top of the skin. But I know that hydroquinone is only a temporary bleaching agent. I have been a victim. When your cream finishes melasma will return harshly. You cannot use hydroquinone forever, it will eat away your top layer skin.

Kindly read my history with Melasma. I was diagnosed by three plastic surgeons with dermal melasma and have struggled since 2009. Fortunately, while treating, I have not had the experience which you describe. Not everyone has the same experience and I hope you will find products which will work for you long term. Take care.

Hi Memebebe,
Are you still using the cream? OR else if you have stopped using the cream are you seeing any recurrence? I hope you have stopped using the cream and see no recurrence as long term use of Hydroquonoine is not recommended. Please do keep us posted.

Where can you buy Dr. Schlesinger's melasma cream?

It is not possible to buy his cream in other places than USA. I asked Dr. Schlesinger and he kindly replied me the same. He said I should visit the patient face to face, otherwise it is not legal ti sell the cream or send it ouside of the USA. Maybe he can work on it as a patent but according to him it takes long time.

Are you able to tell me the ingredients of the cream so I can see a derm here and request it be made?

i know a woman who's currently using this cream. ingredients look pretty standard i.e. HQ 4% + kojic acid 2% + tretonin 0.5% + hydroqcortisone 0.1%. that's on her label. i am unsure if there is anything hidden since she never had any results from any other HQ creams but this one has faded her dermal melasma by 50% in 4 weeks. so, maybe contact the pharmacy that delivered memebebe's cream and confirm the ingredients with them.

Oh wow, I'm trying so hard to stay away from HQ, a trial of 2% darkened my Melasma I also have a gut feeling (intuition I guess) not to use it, meladerm even made mine darker. I thought I read on his website that he didn't like HQ because of the halo effect. I guess I'll keep searching. Have you tried this mix? Thanks for responding Mandy I really appreciate it x
