Day 12
$1,250
Still slight peeling and I ended up with a split lip from the constant peeling, still completely worth it tho, this is my upper lip now. I'm inly wearing tinted sunscreen invisible zinc) this is the first time in a long time I can leave the house without makeup!!! This has definitely worked in lightening my Melasma, it is still there but so faint I am the only one that can see it and purely because I know where to look. Ignore my hairy lip, I'm too scared to wax or even shave it and im thinking id rather a few dark hairs over the permanent pigment. If anyone has a suggestion in non invasive hair removal please let me know xx

Hope it works for you! Honestly it doesn't look that bad on you! I can barely see it. I think my iud did me in. I noticed chances after. I always got pregnancy mask but it went away.

If you look at the colour difference between my neck and chin you will realise how red I am

Hi, thanks for sharing. I went from having a small barely visible pigment on my cheek to now looking like a freak after I was suggested QSwitch and Alexandrite laser. So your definitely doing the right thing avoiding lasers.
I am now considering cosmelan. Has your melasma reduced? Im in sydney.
With thanks

Hey oh god I feel for you! I hope you get some resolution and fading. I have had great results, a definite reduction in pigment! To look at me you wouldn't know I have Melasma. I can still see it because I know where to look. However I am waiting to see how long this reduction lasts. I'm still using the c2 cream twice a day and from Tuesday will go down to once a day. I'm praying that my pigment doesn't come back as intense as it was before. My biggest advice for you is to avoid the sun like your a vampire!!! I've had IPL on my upper lip and I have convinced myself that the pigment is from the lasered area being exposed to sun. Use zinc sunscreen as a physical blocker. I'm in Darwin and had my Tx up here, down there you should be able to get it cheaper. You can also buy the whole kit online for approx $600, I'll be doing that next time and just follow the instructions

Hi where can you buy the kit online? Does it include the in salon peel? How can you be sure it's genuine?
Also how did are you now from your cosmelan?? Has the pigment returned? I'm booked in for Friday and hoping I get good results

Day 4
Most of the major peeling is gone, just flaky and spot peeling in the outer edges. I have to go out today so I ditched the issues sunscreen and applied colorescience even up SPF 50 (mineral) and ASAP powder, I look slightly bronzed. Although up close you can tell. I'm still fairly red and under that redness I can still clearly see my Melasma. I'll keep on persisting and pray for a cure. Attached are photos of me and product.

So it's day 66 and I'm still really red, I can still see the outline of my Melasma under the redness but I have no idea if it's had any effect in lightening I'm really apprehensive because it may even look darker but fingers crossed that just the redness. I'm still peeling but no where near as bad as earlier. I'll attach another photo xx

As for hair removal I have read Tumeric is a natural alternative.
