How to Treat MELASMA | Tips from a Dermatologist

There is no single treatment that is effective for melasma.
👉🏻Topical hydroquinone is still considered the most effective. Followed by topical retinoids, and 15-20% azelaic acid. Improvements are even better when these are combined.
👉🏻Newer treatments including Cysteamine and topical and oral tranexamic acid show promising results.
👉🏻Other ingredients such as kojic acid, arbutin, licorice, vitamin C, AHA, niacinamide can also be helpful.
👉🏻Therapy is often best when combined with procedures such as chemical peels, microneedling, and certain laser/light treatments, although rebound is common
👉🏻Photoprotection remains most important-Sunscreen, sun protective hats/clothing and oral polypodium leucotomos supplements
👉🏻We always recommend seeing a dermatologist for personalized treatment.
✨However, for those we are not able to see a derm, stay tuned for part 3, we will share few of our favorite drugstore treatment products!

    Hello Dr. Liu, i have a question. Is Pynocare ( (Procyanidin + Ascorbic Acid + Betacarotene + d-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate) really effective for melasma treatment? It is a new oral drug that I'm seeing advertised lately. Thank you and more power.

    If you want to get rid of malasma ,apply a mixed of honey,allovera gel or vitamin e, and mustard oil, every night. And apply sunscreen everyday and apply tritinion or aziderm or kojic acid one in a week. Because acid can burn ur skin if you apply everyday that's according to my experience only .
