I'm already on my 5th week since the start of the treatment and I don't see any slight improvement. I got the Cosmelan 1 mask done in the clinic, went home & kept the mask on for 10 hours, washed with water, put on the Post-Peel Crystal Fibre Mask and after 20 minutes washed it off and applied the Hydra-Vital Faktor K.

The next day my face was slightly red/tanned but very slightly that no one noticed it. The color blended well with my natural skin color. I was instructed to clean my face with Hydra Milk Cleanser and Hydratonic and then the Hydra-Vital Faktor K and sun lotion. I had to do this every morning until my next appointment which was 5 days only after the Cosmelan 1 Mask was applied.

Since then I have been using Cosmelan 2 two times a day as instructed, followed as usual with Hydra-Vital and a 50 SPF sun lotion. I really did not have a strong peeling nor any discomfort. So after a week I tried to put a bit more of the creme (just on that day) and so the next day yes it looked and felt like how it should be (according to what I have been reading from many reviews). After that one day experiment and until now I am applying only a tiny amount of about 0.5 g. Everyday, every time I passed by a mirror, I look my face...nothing! My skin feels soft though but the pigmentation still as dark as before and seems like more tiny spot are coming out even. Ugh, and this is a very expensive treatment. I called the clinic but I can only have to see then in 2 weeks because they are alway booked out.

Hi,did you end up seeing any results?

The clinic takes your money no problem and now that you need there help they are not avaiable for 2 weeks, that is redicioulous. Cosmelan does not always work, you are taking a chance. Your dr. should have informed you about the risk. I suggest mild peeling and microdermabrasion is helpful for melasma.

in contrast to yours, my melasma has lightened by a central pallor gradually. Do not apply too much cosmelan 2, it will cause hyperpigmentation. Also use the Fast repair cream.
