44 year old, with dermal melasma on cheeks an upper lip. I've tried EVERYTHING for the last 2 years and nothing seems to work. My dermatologist was equally unhelpful- after using Hydroquinione 4% & Retina for a year with no results.. I started looking elsewhere.

I was considering tatooing a lighter shade of brown under my lip, when I bumped into a Cosmelan reviews here.

Had the Cosmelan 1 (C1) mask applied and was told to leave it on for 8 hours. The estiatician cleaned my face with an acetone solution and applied mask. Mild burning but it disappeared in 30 minutes.

8 hours later- removed the mask and instant felt a warm burning sensation.... I felt the blood pulsating in my face, I knew I was going to have a change the next day. I slept elevated because I thought the swelling wouldn't be that bad if I did that.

Acetone on your face ? When you said your estitician cleaned your face with acetone solution, acetone is nail polish remover! Are you sure she was using that?

No, not sure.... but it did smell just like acetone.

I still love my results 8 months later.

Day 1- 0630- I look the Sith Lord from Star Wars. Full red, swollen, hot, tight face. My only pleasure comes from sitting directly in front of the air conditioner.. I'm applying a lot of Vaseline on my lips (as I've read chapped lips is a common problem) and I can feel my non treated areas are really dry. My face is hot and tight.
