Melasma Cream THAT WORKS!!!! - Honolulu, HI

Having struggled with Melasma on the balls of my cheeks, forehead, upper lip and nose, I felt cursed. After using Dr. Schlesinger’s Melasma Cream I have NO visible signs of the condition. My skin is clear and even. I developed Melasma in 2009 and have consulted with several plastic surgeons in the Washington DC Metropolitan area and underwent various treatments for the condition. I have tried almost every cream, dark spot corrector and peel on the market –including TCA, Dermaceutic and Melanage and nothing completely rid me of the Melamsa. Within 2-3 weeks of daily use of Dr. Schlesinger’s Melasma Cream my skin had no brown patches and remains clear and radiant. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Schlesinger for the care extended to me. I live in Maryland and Dr. Schlesinger went above and beyond to ensure I was able to have access to his cream; he even called me on a Sunday to let me know he was working to get the cream to me. I visited my plastic surgeon today who could not believe the appearance of my skin and asked that I provide him with Dr. Schlesinger's contact information. My skin looks great and I am grateful to have been the beneficiary his kindness and talent. Feel free to write for photos.

How long did it take before you saw the results?
February 25, 2014
Within 3-weeks of daily use I had no signs of ever having Melasma. The first 10-days or so I used the cream twice a day per the instructions; then at night only. Sadly in December 2013 I spent $300 on a TCA peel which did nothing to improve the condition. Disappointed I found a testimonial on this site about the cream and called Dr. Schlesinger.

Happy to hear your Melasma is gone! What is the name of the cream you used??
March 4, 2014
what about if u stop using the cream do u think it would be back??? how did u touch in contact with the doctor I was trying to call the office but they always hungup after 30min hold. did u have to use different number to contact the doctor????
March 4, 2014
I am told that as long as I protect my skin with a sunscreen product over 30 SPF and limit my exposure to the sun I should be fine. I am currently using a 50 SPF and sometimes Neutrogena Ultra Sheer 100 SPF. I have sent you the contact information for Dr. Schlesinger's office via a separate message. Take care.

Hi, did you ever use Obagi Clear? Just wondering how the cream you used compares to Obagi. Thank you for posting pictures.
March 9, 2014
Hi, coincidentally I purchased the Obagi Nu-derm Exfoderm Forte and Clear days before I picked up my Melasma cream; I have yet to use them. I will keep them and use in case the Melasma reappears. Thanks for writing.
March 10, 2014

I ALSO HAVE MELASMA IN MY BOTH CHECKS PLZ HELP ME HOW CAN I GET THIS CREAM IN uae
March 11, 2014
Hi memebebe, Thank you so much for posting this great info. I contacted the doctors office yesterday and the secretary told me that as per last week they are no longer mailing out this cream outside Hawaii because there were people that did not have melasma and used the cream and had no results. I have tried everything including Laser treatments and nothing seems to work, my mom has it too and her face is even worst than mine. This creams means the hope for a clear face again. I am kindly asking for your help since you already know the doctor could you please talk to him to see if I can get that cream, I am willing to pay you for the trouble that's how desperate I am. I thank you in advance and wish you a beautiful, happy and healthy life!

How about trying Chinese herbs? Dr. Alexander Ho's products, there are herbs supplement and herbal skin care products that help to treat all type of stubborn Melasma. Www.ho-modesty.com
January 11, 2015
Ky14, Have you had any success with the Chinese herbs? Do you have melasma?
January 16, 2015
Thanks for the info! I will give it a try!!!!!
March 17, 2014
Did your skin ever peel and become dry and flaky like when a person uses retinol?
March 17, 2014
Hello. My skin is oily so I experienced no dryness and only very mild flaking the morning after the application of the cream; once I washed my face no signs of flakiness. Good luck to you.

This is awesome!! Thank you so much for the pictures and update. You are very lucky actually!! Any chance you could buy one tube for me? I would pay you double the price? Please let me know.

hi, was your melasma superficial or deep set? I wonder it worked for you because you have superficial melasma. Please share more info. God bless.
January 25, 2016
I am very happy for her results, yet like you, I am skeptical that anything can help dermal melasma as I have on my upper lip:(. I've had success with peels only on superficial discoloration on cheeks. The dermal looks as though the pigmentation runs throughout several deep layers of skin--nothing to peel off and certainly none of the HQ creams and retinols have done anything substaintive or permanent. Still...I hope you get your hands on this cream so you can report back any miracle. Fingers crossed for you and all others with dermal melasma

hey there, have you also made any internal changes? i am surprised that your melasma is kept at bay by mere spf!! also, i think you have some slight pigmentation still, can you not fix that with another application of this team again?
November 23, 2015
Hi and no to internal changes. I actually do have slight pigmentation and I believe another application will take care of it. I will keep you posted should I decide to pick up.
November 23, 2015
Hi are you able to post the exact name of cream please. Can we buy it online & why don't you become an agent to this doctor. You will help millions of women out there. Much appreciate

hi, do you know whether your melasma was dermal or epidermal? your response is great...i think your pigmentation is suerficial...what do you say?
November 28, 2015
My dermatologist diagnosed me w/dermal melisma.

ooops Melasma.

hey that sounds unreal!! what I have learnt is that dermal melasma is permanent, and all melasma treatments are temporary. I find this unreal that you had such an outstanding results and even two years on you are able to maintain your results by using just spf. how could this be true when all prognosis for melasma is very poor. Most women learn to live with it forever. Can you please tell me how you develop it? what was the cause? there must be some internal cure that has stopped the recurrence in your case. your results are unreal!! can you please please also tell me if you know any other women who have benefitted with the same melasma cream in the same way? I have actually contacted Dr Lary's office. I am going to request him to liaise with my dermatologist in London so that he can formulate the cream for me or I will even fly out to Hawaii to get the cream myself. If your story is true( sorry don't mean to offend you but very skeptical ), and you could also give me few other references of other women who may have benefitted in the same way, then I will be more confident in trying this treatment out for sure. Please help. I am very sad with my skin condition. I have left my job recently to focus on de-stressing and find right treatment for melasma. I got persistent case on cheeks and upper lip. Please give me more references and tell me why this cream worked so well and you didn't have any recurrence. please...God bless...

Can I speak to you over the phone? I will call you..I am in the UK..
as your immediate pictures after the cream usage are very clear, i want to know how soon the results deteriorated a bit...in your recent pictures you do have some slight pigmentation..could you not keep on using the cream to maintain clearance?
