And why is all this expensive! How can the average aging person afford this???.

I have had melasma/ post inflammatory hyperpigmentation for 8 yrs due to birth control and chemical peels. I waxed my eyebrows and face upper lip but did not wear the proper sunscreen or protection for my face when I went out into the sun light. I had a huge brown spot over my forehead and my upper lip turned darker. I have tried everything and went to so many dermatologist but nothing worked. I was so depressed. This year 2024, I started taking tranexamic acid pills from Musley on top of everything this video had shown and my face looks so much better. I finally can go out with only moisturizer and spf and not a ton of makeup and concealer. Just wanted to share my story and I hope it can help someone suffering with this melasma/hyperpigmentation stuff. ❤️✨

I have very, very, very stubborn melasma. The only thing that works for me is hydroquinone, staying away from the sun and don’t upsetting my skin with harsh products. This is the only way to manage it, this is not a cure. The struggle is real

My face was so fair and spotless, I never had any pimple but after childbirth I got really bad acne it totally ruined my whole face with acne scars hyperpigmentation dark spots. I just hate my face now.. I’ve never used makeup or anything. I don’t know what to do 😢

I always stayed out of the sun, always wear sun screen, aka I'm a inside person lol . Then when i turned 38 these two large sun spots showed up on my face. I was shocked. I use niacinimide, vitamin c, retinol and a few other things but I haven't seen any change. Thanks for this video ! I learned a lot.

Hydroquinone didn’t help and made my skin worse and I followed my doctor’s order.

Hi Doctor.
I used no creams or whatever to get rid of my sun spots. I went to a skin doctor and he used cryotherapy. He literally ‘burnt’ my spots with ice cold cryotherapy. My spots became like burn blisters, then after a week to 10 days they healed and were gone for good with no marks or any side effects, and a clear of sun and ageing spots skin!

I have white skin with age spots & melasma issues. A few years ago, I bought some Palmers Cocoa Butter Cream for my dry hands and feet. It's sold in the ethnic section of beauty products & is targeted at brown skin. Within a month of using, I noticed the age spots on my hands were almost completely gone. I then tried it on the melasma on my neck & face. Now that's gone! I shared this with several friends and they all were very happy with the results!

I dispute the caused by sun claim I have spots that have rarely seen the sun and they have a larger skin print than the surrounding skin. I’ve tons of them and the dermo never suggested anything to lighten them told me they were just normal. I get them burned off but I’d be burning them off all day every day! So much for staying out of the sun!

Prescription hydroquinone did nothing for me. IPL was the only procedure that worked.

[annamarielewis]

I just did Cosmelan from Spain. Works extremely well. Doctor treatment.

[kerensa]

What about trauma scars like surgery or a fall that left dark marks?

[userAngel]

Cysteamine 5 % cream cyspera works better than hydroquinone and without any side effects and rebounds.

[danityvanityinsanity]

What about using skin bleaching products but just on the spots?

[fæyvur]

You didn't talk on hyperpigmentation from acne

[kevindirado]

Hi Dr Youn, I love your videos, recently I've discovered a lighter spot on my face, it looks like hypopigmentation.
I have a history of dry skin and rashes (but they are located on my lower body).
I would like to know your opinion, before I book a dermatologist appointment in my area.
Thank you so much for your time.
Ps. I'm 22 years old.

I have brown skin with hyperpigmentation. Willing to try creams but heard hydroquinone has controversial info re: causing cancer

[tammywade]

Mix olive oil and castor oil and use as a nighttime moisturizer ❤

6:20 not the Belo brand LOL it didn't work on me.

The sun is wonderful but can be so harmful to us
