Recently I heard of melasma and what I had wasn't just a weird tan on my face. Looking back at photos, I’ve had this since my son was born, 10 years ago! Last summer the pattern that developed on my face was really insidious. I looked like I aged 20 years, it darkened any expression lines I’ve been developing, and drew dark circles around my eyes, dark vertical lines between my eyebrows and smile lines in my cheeks. And thick shaded lines contoured my cheekbones creating a gaunt, hallowed face. February 2022, I figured out it was melasma and not some rapid aging disease, and started treatment with Tretinoin (.1) and 4% hydroquinone. Minor results showed up very slowly, then I saw an ad for Musely and their 12% hydroquinone treatment. I started that along with a weekly AHA treatment early May and it worked so quickly! I’m 2 months in and so happy with the results. The spots are fading fast, and my skin texture is so smooth. I never knew how ruddy it was before. Love love love!
