    Once you stop hydroquinone the hyperpigmentation comes back with more force. It’s not meant for brown skin. Lots of dermatologists are doing on this I hear.

    Based on my experience hormone is tied to melasma. Once I treated low thyroid, taking iron and reducing mental stress specifically. My majority of hyper pigmentation went away.

    Hi Dr. Abs! Thank you for these straight to the point short videos. Question - does the hyperpigmentation come back once you stop using the hydroquinone in the obagi line? Is it true the hyperpigmentation can come back worse once you stop using the hydroquinone? I have a great sunscreen I use and would prefer not to use the one with hydroquinone.

    • @Dr_Abs
      @Dr_Abs  Рік тому +5

      Thanks buddy! Eucerin (if it's the one I'm thinking of) has 4-n-butylresorcinol which is a really strong tyrosinase inhibitor like hydroquinone and I believe in a study a while back it showed comparable strength without the potential toxicity in high doses. Remember that once the pigmentation goes, you need to keep it away for life

    Retoric question, but I just have to ask:
    If You've had an event where you weren't using (enough) sun protection for a short time (20 mins), and the sun was so strong that say your neck got sun damage which resulted in redness and wrinkles:
    Is there anything that can be done to reverse that deep damage to elasticity?

I have one small light colored spot on my cheek. To prevent more from showing up as I get older, do you recommend using the skincare systems you mentioned here or just continue with Tretinoin and sunscreen?

    Hi Dr. I am in SA. I started by having dark circles under my eyes during a very stressful period and I thought it was the lack of sleep over the past 3months it has worsened. I have not formally been diagnosed but I have these symmetrical dark brown patches from the under eye area to the chiks and on the eyelids. Is it possible that the stress was a trigger? Or it was coming anyways. I am planning to buy the Skin functional for treatment or is it advisable to see a dermatologist first? Thank you.

      Cosmetic surgery such as Lazer procedures could be an effective and viable option although these tend to be relatively expensive, OTC ingredients to help with skin brightening include but are not limited to,
      Alpha Arbutin, kojic acid, tranexamic acid, retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide, azelaic acid, licorice root extract, mequinol, resorcinol, N- a
      Acetylglucosamine, Bearberry Extract, Mulberry Extract, Papaya Extract, Saffron Extract, Cysteamine, Ellagic Acid, Gigawhite, Soybean Extract, Tumeric, Oligopeptides, Ginseng, Peony extract, Methoxxyphenl Decanome, Sepiwhite, Vitamin E, Green Tea Extract, Rosehip Oil and Daisy Flower Extract
      Ultimately OTC topicals may not be of much assistance in severe cases and dematological assistance may be required but I'd advise you to stick with using the aforementioned active ingredients in your skincare routine to help with brightening and inhibiting melanin production, the specific ingredients I'd recommend the most are Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Vitamin C, Retinoids, Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide and licorice root extract.
