Trying a Very Strange Concoction - Orlando, FL

ORIGINAL POST

Hi ladies, Im new here...I ran across this site in...

Hi ladies, Im new here...I ran across this site in search for a cure/solution or even improvement of my melasma. I developed melasma after my second pregnancy. At first it was very light but after I moved to Florida (lived in Chicago) my melasma became very dark. I've spent so much money in different high end products that promised the world but had no results. I recently read a post here from a young lady who suggested mixing this weird concoction composed of listening blue mouthwash, baking soda and nizoral anti dandruff shampoo. She swore it helped improve the appearance of melasma. Other ladies joined in too and said it was working. I am so desperate that I'm willing to give it a try. I hate looking myself in the mirror. I'm so depressed over this...I just feel ugly. Makeup sometimes helps but after I take it off, it's back to reality. If you've tried this mixture please comment with your result. I will be tracking my experience and posting pictures. Wish me luck!

*Listerine mouthwash
Has it worked for you? I tried it for a week, but no improvement
I've tried it but only briefly . I didn't see any change but maybe didn't do it for long enough time. Only a few weeks ..
Same here, I tried it for 2 weeks, I started back using triluma
Triluma? Does that help at all. I've been out in the sun for the last week with a hat and zinc oxide and the discoloration became worse... Ughh I hate this.
It did but then it came back, lazer worked but only temporary results. I'm going to try triluma again then a VI peel. Crossing my fingers
What laser did you use? How long did the results last?
I'm not exactly sure but the results were amazing but 2 weeks later my spits were back. Now I'm using vitamin c serum in the morning with sunblock and triluma at night
you shouldn't suddently stop using triluma...try to use it alternate nights after your spots are normal, and then limit to twice a week use. it may also help using vit c in the morning and retin a at night along with some 2% hq cream such as ambi, about few times a week at night..think you may be able to maintain clearance with that approach.
also, use a physical sunblock not chemical..stay out of afternoon sun.

all the best
Have you had any luck with it? I've tried the paste several nights in a row and found zero difference, I was hoping to see something that would offer some encouragement for continuing with it, but no. I, too, have tried everything I heard about with no luck. Good luck to you with this! And please let us know how it's working for you :)
