Products For Hyperpigmentation & Melasma (What Worked, What Didn't?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2018
- I was recently asked what products and active ingredients I used to fade the melasma I developed from my last pregnancy. So today I'm going through all the products I used over the last year in hopes of fading the pigmentation and dark spots. Some worked great, many didn't, and one natural brightening product made the melasma darker! As you'll see in today's video there's definitely a pattern as to what active ingredient really help get rid of hyperpigmentation and melasma, and what ingredients might be great exfoliants and skin brighteners but do nothing for dark patches and pigmentation. So far I've been able to fade 90% of the melasma, so there is hope!

Thank you so much replying. I appreciate your help. I have hyperpigmentation on my two cheeks. Tried so many products. Nothing helped. So I want to try cleanser & rose hip oil which you said it really worked with you.
Thank you again
Luv all your video uploads.. very helpful. Will you be doing a follow-up on the Living Libation products?
Yes I'll be doing the follow up final review very soon. My results have been very interesting.. some good, some bad, and even an unexpected benefit!
Thank you so much for this video! Just what I needed!
Thank you for watching! :)
Thank you so much for the videos!! So much information I’m super grateful for you!!! Please let me know if I can use raw turmeric directly on the melasma skin or is it ok to use over a moisturizer? Any no’s or tips to keep in mind when using raw turmeric? Best time of day I’m inside all day to stay out the sun so daytimes ok right? Just phone blue light with a blocker from Eyejust so blocking 50% of blue light.
Really enjoyed this video, and thanks for being honest about what works and what doesn't 🙏💕
Thank you! I LOVE making these types of videos! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thank you!!!!! :)
thank you.I will try rose hip seed oil and tumeric rub. So glad to have found your channel.
Great! Let me know how it works out for you :)
Jennifer Lee does it works
Wow very informative! I subbed.

Thank you for watching :)
Jump ahead to 3:13 to get the info...long intro
Thank you!
I should have read this helpful comment before wasting 3 minutes of my time. The into bored me to tears.
Thanks, great video very informative
Thank you for watching :)
Thank you much for giving us such information,I too have deep melasma on my face."What would you recommend me to do?
Thank you for sharing! I was wondering when it comes to using the fresh tumeric, if you are using it for months like your niece was, do you have to replace the tumeric you’re using or will it stay good and be effective for that long of a time?

Hi, thank you so much for your videos! I would like to try Oskia - Renaissance Cleansing Gel, VERDURA naturalternatives - Fruit Complex Facial Mask and The Ordinary - 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil. I was wondering if you use the Oskia cleansing gel together with the Frankincense Best Skin Ever? Or is it one or the other? (since they are both cleansing gels..) Also, in your opinion, which one is better against hyperpigmentation? Another thing I would like to ask is if I can use these products and still use an anti-ageing cream 1x day (Uriage, isofill)?
Thank you and keep up you awesome videos!
Great questions!
I used the Oskia Cleanser and Frankincense Best Skin Ever at different times. Both work GREAT! I would choose one or the other. If you use the Frankincense BSE, to get the best results, I recommend also using the Living Libations Rose Renewal Frankincense Firming Fluid right after (use that product like you would a serum). So, either get the Oskia or get the two Living Libations products. I can't really say if one worked better than the other, but I will say that the Oskia Cleanser got rid of 80-85% of my melasma, and the last little bit I couldn't get rid of until I switched to using the two Living Libations products, and then all melasma gone. But, if I stop using the Living Libations products, I start seeing tiny amounts of melasma come back, so I presume I have to continue using those products for at least a few months to fully get rid of it.
As for your question about using the Uriage product, you can continue using it. The only produces that wouldn't work well with the Living Libations products is using strong retinols or prescription retinoids/retinoic acid - that type of product could make your skin too sensitive to essential oils, and if you are using any strong vitamin A derivatives, I would recommend instead to use the Oskia cleanser.
Thank your for all your help, you are wonderful! I have been using the Frankincense BSE along with the Rose Renewal Frankincense ever since I saw your video review. I am just starting my fourth week on these products and I have seen a major difference on several parts of my face where I have the hyper pigmentation; example forehead and side temples but my upper lip area is a lot more stubborn, this is where I got electrolysis many years ago and where the sun just loves to hang no matter how much mineral sunscreen I apply :( I am thinking this hyper pigmentation on the upper lip is not melasma due to the fact that I have applied retin-a on that area. Seems more grey tone. What do you recommend? Is damage like this reversible with a product like Oskia or Living Libations?
I'm so glad to hear your results so far! Keep going with the Living Libations products, it's only been a month, so I would be curious to know what they can do for more of the stubborn pigmentation areas like on your upper lip. It could take 6+ months of consistent use to start seeing some improvements. So don't give up too early.
The melasma on your upper lip sounds to me to be deeper inflammation, perhaps reaction/damage from the electrolysis, or a combination of electrolysis and other things... I had IPL hair removal on my legs many years ago and I got permanent discolouration of my skin is some areas (I believe I might have been burned by the laser). Unfortunately there can be bad side effects from some of these procedures (terrible!), but I do believe that there's always a possibility of resolving it. In this situation, you don't want to be using products that aggravate the inflammation more, but instead use very anti-inflammatory/soothing products. That's why I think those 2 Living Libations products have worked so well.
Also, many years ago I had melasma on my upper lip from a fruitarian diet. I was eating way too much fruit (carbs) and I got dark patches on my upper lip. They were a little different than what I had on other parts of my face, they almost appeared raised. Once I reduced carbs in my diet, the melasma went away on it's own without any additional skincare products or treatment (it took about 6 months to go away completely). So, you might want to experiment with your diet reducing sugars and carbs to see if that can help.
Keep me posted with your progress :)
I am little confused. When you were explaining about rose hip seeds oil & 2% retinoids squalane . You had two bottle in your two hands. Both of them look a like. Which one you were saying to use by itself for melasma is it rose hip oil or retinoids. Please reply me for that. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
Liza Kazi It’s the rosehip seed oil. Try not to layer a bunch of products under it, I find for melasma and brightening, you get better results using it on its own.
Hi Natasha-
I’m a new subscriber and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your videos. My Melasma started towards the end of my pregnancy, almost two years ago.
I’m interested in purchasing the products mentioned. However, I do have a question about the Oskia Cleanser:
It sounds like it worked very well for you. So I’d like to try it. However, I do have dryer skin.
I’m just wondering if there’s a product within the Obagi line, that would work equally?
Either that or could I still use the cleanser, along with a better moisturizer?
Hi Kristen,
You can try the Oskia with a richer moisturizer or facial oil if you encounter dryness. It's not as drying as a foaming cleanser or soap would be, but it's not moisturizing either. I've also had amazing success with two products from Living Libations (Frankincense Best Skin Ever (cleansing oil) and Rose Renewal +Frankincense Firming Fluid (serum). Using these two products together day and night got rid of the remaining stubborn melasma. The combo isn't super moisturizing, so you would need an additional moisturizer on top, but they won't dry out your skin. Here's the video I did reviewing them and how they helped my melasma: ua-cam.com/video/Sw3T3f9QKuQ/v-deo.html
As for the Obagi products, they use hydroquinone to treat melasma, which can temporarily help fade it. The problem with hydroquinone is you can't stay on it forever, you've got to cycle it by being on it for 3 months, then off of it for another 3 months, and then back again. The feedback I get is when people take the 3 month break from the hydroquinone, it comes right back. I personally have never used hydroquinone, so I can't give you much information on it.
The CLEAR SKIN Essentials
Thank you so much for responding!
Yesss I definitely plan on trying the Living Libations products. More specifically the two you mentioned above.
So according to my research...Obagi has two systems or two types of skincare. One is the Rx (contains hydroquinone) and the other is the Fx (contains Arbutin, which is equivalent to HQ, except itsbplant derived). From what I gather, the Rx helps to rid your melasma and the Fx is used as your maintenance. Obagi has also come out with a “new and improved” line, which is called Zo Skin Health.
So many options!!!...Thank you again for responding and sharing your knowledge.
Checking out your other vid now! Although I think I watched it. But I’m going to double check now.
Yes, there's so many options!!! (better to have too many options than none at all!). I recommend choosing one product/skincare routine and sticking with it for 6 months. Not only do you want to get rid of the melasma, but it's important to know what ingredients work and don't work for you. There's a lot of ingredients and options for fading melasma, and not everyone's skin responds the same way to the different active ingredients, so best to try one ingredient or product line at a time and see what happens. Keep me posted :)
The CLEAR SKIN Essentials ABSOLUTELY!!
I need to really take my time with this and make sure I do it correctly! I’ll keep you posted! Thank you so much!!!
Consistency is key!! I know for myself, it's hard to stick with one routine, but it's essential, especially with melasma because it takes a while to see results. So you don't want to give up too soon. And as I said, there's A LOT of ingredients you can try to get rid of it, and you'll see that some work great while others do absolutely nothing. I've even used products that are suppose to brighten the skin and help fade melasma, and have done the reverse, made it darker! So best to try one thing at a time and stick with it (and if you use anything that you suspect is making the melasma darker, stop using it immediately).
Fading after pregnancy is totally different than than non-pregnancy melasma. Your melasma would fade naturally over time as your hormones stabilize and your skin turns over. For people that have it without pregnancy, it’s a different ballgame because the condition is chronic. I don’t get any results from topicals except hydroquinone which I don’t like using. But glad to hear your skin has normalized regardless!
Yes, I completely agree that melasma can be triggered by a number of things, and therefore resolve once those issues balance out or stabilized. I'm curious to see what will happen to my melasma now that I've stopped breastfeeding. I've had melasma on my forehead and sides of my cheeks for the past 6-7 years, but I've also been pregnant twice during that time, and breastfeed each child for 2 years. The shape of the patches and where they are for the most part have always stayed the same, but there's certain things that trigger it to become darker or to fade and "disappear." I feel like it's an underlying inflammatory issue because I can go months where I don't see it, and suddenly something in my routine changes, and those dark patches appear again, always the same shape and location. For me, big triggers are diet, dehydration, increased sun exposure, and irritating skincare products. I even find majority of "brightening" skincare products make my melasma appear darker because they brighten the skin around the melasma, but not the melasma itself.
The journey continues! :)
Hi, i have a question. You obviously have tried a lot of products together and your description is good, however I am wondering how do you know what did exactly that when using all the items am and or pm together in a layering or single application.
Wouldn’t you need to use them seperatley so see individual results to judge?
Great question! All the products in this video I've used over the past 2-3 years (at least), and at different times. I never used all these products at once. My daily skincare routine tends to be quite minimal - I cleanse, use one serum, and maybe a moisturizer or facial oil (if needed). Once or twice a week I use a mask. Some of these products I've used for a long time (the Oskia cleanser I've been using on and off over the past 7 years - I adore it, and it works amazing for me at getting rid of melasma and overall brightening of the skin). With that said, there's definitely staples in my skincare routine I know have helped, plus other things I tested while using those products to see if it can boost my results. I hope this answers your question.
Obagi helped get rid of mine and now I just wear clear zinc oxide if I'm going to spend time out in the sun. But thank you for the face wash tip I've been looking for a new effective face wash, so I think I'm going to give the one you recommended a try. Thanks again!
That's great the Obagi worked for you! I love the Oskia cleanser, I hope you like it too :)
Natalie Jacobs what is name of obagi product
Thank you so much Natasha for the super valuable information! About the turmeric root applied directly to the skin, I ve heard that if you mix it with Castor oil and use it as a mask, it works better for melasma.. have you heard about this?
Thank you for sharing this. No, I haven't heard about mixing it with castor oil, but I'm sure it can help. If you try it, please let me know your results :)
danie21 any updates please
Rita Sharqawi I tried it for a while, about 2 months, but I didn’t notice much difference regarding melasma ...however it did brighten my face
Rosehip oil is my #1. I love it so much. I need to try that andalou mask. I love their turmeric + c serum from the same line. I love mixing raw honey and turmeric powder as a mask.
I will definitely have to try the turmeric with honey mask! I'm so scared to do the DIY with turmeric. I cook a lot with turmeric and my hands are always stained yellow, I'm afraid the same would happen to my face! But maybe not (I have to try to really know for sure!). I highly recommend the Andalou Mask, it's great. First product I've tried from that line, and I was really impressed. I'll have to try the turmeric & c serum. And yes, rose hip seed oil is awesome. I find it to be a great skin savour if ever I have dryness or irritation, it balances everything so beautifully.
I've done the honey and turmeric mask, and yes, it does leave your face looking rather yellow. I just do a good oil cleanse with coconut oil, and most of the yellow disappears.
Thats good to know, thank you for telling us!
My dermatologist told me that Rose Hip Seed oil is useless for melasma
thanks you i have pigmentation i tried so many things no thins helped
I know how that feels, but don't give up! And remember, protecting your skin from the sun is just as important as trying to fade it. So make sure to wear good quality mineral sunscreen with at least 15% non-nano zinc oxide, and avoid strong sun.
Hello! Thank you for this video! I ordered the Oskia cleansing gel and both The Ordinary oils you mentioned in this video. What do you use for a moisturizer during the day? And when do you use the Squalene oil?
For moisturizer during the day, I use my sunscreen. But, if I need extra moisturizing, I like using 2-3 drops of Argan Oil (I like the one from The Ordinary). You can use it under sunscreen, just let it absorb for at least 5-10 minutes before applying sunscreen.
The Squalane Oil you are using, is it the Granactive Retinoid in Squalane, or just plain Squalane? If it's the Granactive Retinoid, only use at night and make sure to wear sunscreen during the day. If just plain Squalane, you can use that morning and night (as your moisturizer).
Thank you so much for getting back to me I really appreciate the help! 😊
my pleasure!
When do you recommend applying vitamin c serum to the face?
Depends on the amount of vitamin c. To be honest, I'm not so keen on using Vitamin C during the day (or any exfoliants during the day). If it's a low % it's ok, but above 10-15% best to use at night.
Thanks for the video. Wish I had seen this sooner as I've just spent $$ on other products. One question about the rose hip oil - Do you use it every night and without moisturizer?
By the way, it's interesting that your office is in AMK. When I visit Singapore, I'll have to swing by since my family lives there. 😃
Rosehip oil is pretty rich that you might not need a moisturizer (unless you have dry skin). I recommend trying it without a moisturizer to see. As for my Singapore address, it's a PO box, not office! I live in Bali, but visit Singapore often. My mail has a hard time reaching Indonesia (everything gets "lost" in mail), so I keep a mailbox in Singapore to ensure I receive everything.
I was at the supermarket and saw organic turmeric, thought to try your suggestion. Washed my face, cut a piece and rubbed it over my cheeks where I have lot of spots, found my fingers and nails already stained. Couple of hours later tried to remove it from my face with makeup remover but persisted, washed and applied my night cream, but in the morning still found colour on my pillow and my nails are still coloured. Lesson learned 🤔
Oh no! I think for some people it stains, other people it doesn't. Some people mix it with yogurt to avoid the staining, not sure if that works...
@@InspireBeauty
Thanks, will try 😊
Hello Natasha, thank you for sharing your secrets. Although it is not natural, can you offer any thoughts on hydroquinone?
There are some studies that show that hydroquinone can be cancerous. Have you already tried SkinBright? I've been using it, and it's been amazing so far. I've learned about this on Philomath Channel. The title of the video is "Is Melasma Completely Curable?" Also, it is highly recommended on the website Melasma Cure Info.
I will do a video why I don't use hydroquinone for my melasma (great question!).
I made a mask with tumeric, greek yogurt, lemon juice, and honey. I started last week applying it to my face every morning after washing face and exfoliating. I noticed this week that my melsama is fading.
That's great! I'm so happy you found something that's working for you. Be careful with lemon juice, if you use it make sure to be diligent protecting your skin from the sun because it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Thank you dear for your help
My pleasure!
Is it healthy to use sunscreen or whitening cream while you're on serums?
If you have hyperpigmentation, best to use sunscreen daily. If you're unsure of the safety of combining the products you are using, maybe better to contact the company and ask them if it's safe.
The drunk elephant vitamin c Definitely briting my Melasma areas what I got in the past 3 - 4 years but the ones I had for 5+ years it is less dark so I like it
That's great it's working for you :)
I love the products from the ordinary. I found their retinoid kind of useless lol. I also agree that acids don’t really help with hyperpigmentation. I have melisma near the hairline as well that hasn’t responded to anything. I’ve tried vitamin c as well but find it too irritating and makes my face itchy lol. Very informative video.
Yes, I too get back reaction to vitamin C, especially serums containing high amounts. I get enlarged pores from it. I really like The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil. What products from The Ordinary do you like? I've tried a few of their serums but with no success.
I 100% agree that acids don’t help at all with hyperpigmentation
What sunscreen product do you recommend?
I recommend Suntegrity Tinted Face Sunscreen, here's the link: www.theclearskinessentials.com/recommends/suntegrity-tinted-sunscreen.php
When buying a sunscreen, make sure the main UV filter is zinc oxide, there should be a higher % of zinc than other UV filter ingredients (for example, more % of zinc than titanium dioxide or other chemical filters) I find the protection is much better when sunscreens that have at least 15% zinc oxide (Badger, Juice Beauty, Drunk Elephant all have zinc sunscreens). If you buy a Korean or Japanese sunscreen, it must be PA++++ (not PA+, PA++, or PA+++).
The CLEAR SKIN Essentials Thank you!
I noticed that Melasma is more of an internal/ hormonal problem rather than topical.
Will you please get to the products.
Do you really need to exfoliate very sensitive skin? I can't find anything gentle enough but I don't want to ruin my skin by not doing it
No, if you have sensitive skin and can't tolerate exfoliation, don't! Your body naturally exfoliates your skin, and so does even washing your face. Never do more than your skin can tolerate cause we don't want to risk messing up your skin, it's not worth it!
The CLEAR SKIN Essentials you have helped me so much thank you❤️
Okay, let's say I want to try to use the fresh turmeric. Can you buy the fresh root, cut it and keep rubbing the same piece on the skin until it dries out? Should you slice it off after use for sanitary purposes? Also I assume I should buy black pillowcases haha.
Awesome you are going to try it. Please keep me posted! Yes, get the fresh root and slice it open, use on skin and then leave out at room temperature. Next time you use it, you'd slice the exposed part off and use again. Great idea about the black pillow case!! :)
One more question to ask. Can I use rose hip oil any time of the day or do I have to use only night time.
Please reply & thank you
Liza Kazi I personally only use it at night. It’s a fragile oil and I live in the tropics with strong sun, so I don’t want to risk it degrading from the sunlight.
hello! I like this episode..thank u..I am from the philippines..I like to use this Uma facial mask..but it is impossible to buy here in our country ..I think it is not available here..I had my melasma.
but anyway.I like u and ur chanel.God bless u!

Hi Natasha. Are all the products you mention, natural, chemical free?
Hi Janet, great question! All of them are natural skin care products except for The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2%, and the two Drunk Elephant products.
Can I use the renaissance cleansing gel while pregnant?
Congratulations on your pregnancy :) The Oskia cleanser is safe to use during pregnancy.
Thanks for replying!☺️
do i need to wash the turmeric if i rub it on the melasma or i can sleep with it?
It won't hurt to leave it on (and it might work better), but some people's skin stains from the turmeric - so you have to experiment (don't worry, it's not a permanent stain). I recommend experimenting on a day that if your skin does get a little stained, you don't have to go anywhere important.
Thank you
i spent 170$ at derm office triluma and tretinion was prescribed both worth 300$ clear and bright laser 500$ it is too expensive and truth is nothing else will work .. it is very sad i have to live with it
Don't give up! Protecting your skin from the sun can protect against the pigmentation getting worse. Whatever you can do to be super healthy too can help speed up your skin's repair.
Hi I'm from Indonesia 💕
Thankyou for your review
Nice to meet you Putri! :)
Nothing works , it comes back again. Some cases pigmentation get cured by it self . Drinking a lot of water works at times .
Diet too can help. Many times pigmentation is connected to our hormones, and adjusting your diet can help balance things out. Here's a video to check out: ua-cam.com/video/rEudrnmDp3Q/v-deo.html
ANGELA BARUA
Are you referring to the products she used for her Melasma, that didn’t work for you?
Try alpha arbutin from the ordinary
Thank you for the recommendation. Did it work well for you?
Actually I just saw you have answered this question in the comments, so nevermind!
I went on vacation back in April to south FL. I used a very strong sunblock. My last day, I was out at the pool early in the day, and came home with freckles! I decided to try Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C. I saw results in one month. My skin was brighter and freckles faded. In June, I saw optimal results, so I use it now 3 times a week at night for maintenance.
That's fantastic. Thank you Lori for sharing with us what's been working for you! I will look into it.
Lori Frederick I just started the Potent C serum and moisturizer about 2 months ago and see amazing results!! I love it!
pleeez tell me price
If you click on the product links in the description, you'll be directed to the websites that sell the products and the prices.
Is hyperpigmentation curable
It can be. It's definitely worth trying. I've had it 3 times over the past ten years, and I've been able to get rid of it every time (it does take a while to fade it and you have to be extra cautious with preventing it from coming back - but definitely worth the time and effort).
Over the counter products do not work for melasma, you have to use prescription products. Don't waste your money, go to a dermatologist.
I've had great results with over the counter products :)
Omg what a long intro😭
IT WAS RIDICULOUS, WHO CARES WHAT DOESN'T WORK 🤔
@@shonte0 i care about it

As someone who suffers from Melasma....
I am SO glad she shared what didn’t work!!...
She’s saving me/her other subscriber’s, from wasting our money on products that may not work for us. (Kind of a no brainer).
This is something that I and many others can REALLY appreciate!
A pain to watch. She should just get to the point and not go thru explaining what works for her for a couple of painful minutes, I lost interest.
She is wasting her time and money without laser and or IPL. I watched 1/2 way skipping forward. Would recommend Dr. Davin Lim dermatologist videos! Would not waste time watch her!
Ava Yu
Actually you are incorrect. Dr. David Lim does NOT recommend IPL laser. He actually strongly advises his viewers AGAINST them.
