Fade Dark Spots Hyperpigmentation & Melasma with these Anti-Aging Skin Care Products!

This video is about the Skin Care Products I used to fade my dark spots, hyperpigmentation and Melasma.

This video is a Collaboration with my Youtube Bestie, Anne. Her Channel is called Beauty By Anne-Marie.

PREVIOUS Collab with Anne-Marie:

In this video I tell you about 3 products that I used to remove the effects of Sun Damage, Hyperpigmentation and Melasma.

The 3 products that I used are:
***DO NOT USE THESE PRODUCTS IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING***

Retin A (Tretinoin) .01%
Tri-Luma ( hydroquinone 4%, tretinoin 0.05%, fluocinolone acetonide 0.01%)

I have read that this product is safe to use during pregnancy because it has a concentration of glycolic acid that is less than 10% and because it's made from sugar cane:


My Skincare Favorites:

• Retin-A .1% (Prescription)
• Hydroquinone 4% (Prescription)

Equipment that I use:

As with most prescription medication, there are risks involved, so we should always be aware of them and should always follow the instructions of our dermatologist. With the Tri-Luma, I was told to apply it at night before bed, limit sun exposure, ALWAYS wear sunscreen if I were going to be out in the sun for long periods of time, and that I should not use it for more than 6 months at a time. I was told that after 6 months, if I still had discoloration I would need to take a 90 day break before continuing...for safety reasons. I was also warned about the possible gray/blue discoloration side effect with overuse, and that should I see signs of it, I should quit using the product immediately. For those of you who are trying to fade melasma or other types of skin discoloration, and are uncomfortable with using hydroquinone, there are other natural alternatives out there. However, I have not tried any of them so I can't attest to their efficacy. 😊

Ihave struggled with my melasma pigmentation for at last two years now, tried retinol acids c vit serum dermaroller EVERYTHING, and nothing has helped, and seing your video, i was determend to get my hands on the Tri Luma i searched like forever and live in europe so hard, but got it a week ago, and after a week now putting it on every night, its almost all gone.

I know I’m watching this a little late but felt compelled to post a comment. Thank you for this video!
I’m 62- never really knew much about “ really taking care” of my skin. The high end moisturizers and foundations
18yrs ago I went to see a dermatologist for the first time about a mole on my face. I had to have it cut off and then over the years 6 more surgeries on my face to remove both Basel cell and squamous cell - plus 10 removals off my body. Not once did he talk mention stress the importance of sunscreen or adding in the tretioin to prevent further shin cancer from developing. I went to see him for 16 yrs thinking I was doing the right thing and he was such a well know dermatologist surly I’m getting the best advice. Well no I wasn’t. Since I have discovered YouTube and channel like yours I realized how much I could have prevented had I had the information. I stopped going to see him and am trying to tackle the massive damage. With just a retinol and glycolic wipes I am bringing to the surface all sorts of stuff ( going to a new dermatologist next week) but armed with information. I hope you young ladies out there educate yourselves and don’t wait until your my age. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻💕

I hope this won't be too long. I turned 50 in Feb and I too spent many years in the sun then tanning beds. From as early as I can remember I loved watching my sweet Mom go thru her nightly skincare routine so I probably started with it at about age 13. In my twenties I read an article about alpha hydroxy acids and I have used it ever since. I just started Retin A this week (.05) and I have no irritation at all. I'm not sure if it's because I use 14% AHA twice a day or if it just isn't working. Anyway, I won't keep you any longer, I've recently started binge watching skincare videos and I love the things you address and enjoy them very much. Blessings from small town Texas!!

Hi Jenifer! I just discover you, and I am so glad I did! I am a 44 lady, hispano background, mother of 4 beautiful teens and I suffer Melasma. I have been fighting against him for tried the most aggressive Laser treatments, dermatologist bleaching hydroquinone based treatments, and still have it. The thing is, it didn't appear during my pregnancies and it is not sun damage, dermatologist confirmed, and I have been wearing SPF since age 26 (like SPF 50 everyday on my face). I loved your skincare videos and this one give me the courage to try again, so thank you for that!. I was looking for over 40 skincare routines and found yours!
I love makeup, but it is so hard to hide the dark patches without looking tried the Dermablend camouflage foundation too....as many many others that are accumulating on my vanity. Color correcting techniques too with no success . I totally understand what you were you talking about...the lack of confidence, it is unbearable, an everyday drama.
I enjoyed your tutorials and will catch the previous ones. And will look for Anne Marie videos too! Thank you so much! You look so beautiful and young by the way! I'll look for the products you recommend, clearly you have done a pretty good job with your skin!

I started dry brushing a couple of months ago . It has got rid of all my sun damaged on my chest and face. I can't believe how great my skin looks . My husband has also noticed .

[Kathrynh]

This is the community of women here on YouTube!!! And you're right! Helps you not feel alone! Love your channel and Ann Marie's too! I soooo need to focus on body skin now that my face is improving! Thank you! Great topic!xoxo!!

[jennifers]

I really believe we get better as we age and just because we get older, doesn't mean we have to get old.

[jennifers]

I have seen great improvement by using products with peptides. I really believe products with peptides are critical after 35. I am also a great believer in retinol and spf too.

Your before pic looks just like mine. When I turned 27 I had genetic adult acne. I did a deep TCA peel. Unfortunately I didn't receive the correct aftercare. I had hyperpigmation and my skin was scarred with a white grayish tint. So now that I'm 36 I decided to start Retin A .05% and so far so good. I need the AHA and BHA but was scared to start it. Thank you for the video because I'm on a mission to age gracefully. I'm tired of being insecure about my skin. I'm olive tone and with the Retin A I'm finally starting to see my skin tone. It is depressing to deal with such a dramatic change in your face. Now I'm dealing with acne scars, the kind that dermatologist tell you that you are stuck with. I'm seeing a change so let's keep putting our ideas together so we can be our best! Thanks doll!! You are beautiful and give me hope✌🏼

Age 29 here and bc of you I’ve saved my skin ! I used to stay dark in tanning beds plus laying out and like you started seeing the negative results. I listened to u and started glycolic acid body lotion but 15% and 10% for face then retin a, a eye cream and spf spf spf !! It’s made a world of difference and I hope I can age like you have . Already at my age I have friends etc asking what I’ve done bc I look so young ( 🙌🏻 that white clear skin baby ) and I recommend them watching your videos. You saving so many lady’s skin

[sslukerable]

I recently just found your channel after watching numerous others. While they were good, you’re the best. Love, love your hair. I watched you do your color and it was fabulous. You’re so down to earth and someone I can relate too. I’m older, always looked much younger than my age until I had a major heart attack. Seems like things went downhill from there. So I’m on a mission to restore my skin and hair along with my health. You’re beautiful and very informative and someone I enjoy listening to.

Hey hun!!!! Thanks for the great info!!! I am embarrassed to say that I worked so hard last winter on taking care of my skin, trying to get rid of wrinkles and stupid sun damage ... and this summer I fell off my routine!!! So much going on I didn't do it on purpose really, but summertime is a go-go I constantly forgot sunscreen!!!! I didn't lay in the sun, or go to tanning no!!!! But, I just little by little fell off my schedule! So, I'm determined to get back on schedule! I'm going to my Dermatologist!!! This time I'm sticking with even putting a calender in my bathroom as a You look amazing! And thanks for the collaboration with Anne!!! Really good info from both perspectives!!!! 💓

[BeautyByAnneMarie]

Great video!!! Your skin looks so nice and smooth, you really have evened up your skin tone so well! I have heard the same thing about an uneven skin tone appearing more aging than wrinkles. Your skin looks flawless!!! Lots of love xoxo

[IrinaMax]

Thank you Jenifer, I also almost 10 years suffering from horrible melasma, on the same location as you had. I already couple of month using Triluma, and yes it is fading. But I scare to the death it will come back. It's not all gone a while, but I hope it will. BTW it almost not visible under light makeup now and it is already progress... Thank you, for sharing! You lovely woman, amazing mom and wonderful wife :)

[RivyO]

Its insane how you look so much younger now than when you were 28.

[kimberlybertrand]

I'm so glad I found you, I have just been binge watching all of your videos. I find you very sincere and honest, much appreciated! You're gorgeous as well!
