Unlike dark marks and spots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (which both look like small spots in concentrated areas of the face), melasma is often widespread, appearing as brown or grayish, mask-like patches on the cheeks, bridge of nose, chin, forehead, and above upper lip, explains dermatologist Uchenna R. Okereke, MD.
Anyone can get melasma, but it primarily affects women (90 percent of people with melasma are female, says Dr. Okereke) in their 20s, 30s, and 40s—so really, any adult woman can get it. That said, people with darker skin tones have more active melanin-producing cells in their body (melanin, FYI, is the thing that gives color to your skin, eyes, hai...
"Melasma is caused when melanocytes—the cells that produce melanin in your skin—become overactive and produce an excessive amount of pigment," says Dr. Okereke. The overactivity can happen for any number of reasons (which is one of the reasons melasma is so hard to treat), but the two biggest causes are sun exposure and hormones, hence why you some...
After years of trial and error (read: trying lots of products that either did absolutely nothing or fully sizzled my skin off), I've found that the best way to get rid of melasma is with a combo of at-home products and in-office treatments. As far as products go, a consistent routine of a melasma serum or cream with brightening ingredients plus a t...
They're going to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to fading your melasma. Look for a melasma serum or melasma cream (the texture is totally a personal choice) with vitamin C (ideally in the 10 to 20 percent range), tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, arbutin, kojic acid, and/or niacinamide. All of these ingredients help suppress excess pigment pro...
So many people have asked me if retinol can clear up melasma, and the answer is 100 percent yes (this is especially true if you combine retinol with other brightening products). Retinol speeds up your cell's turnover rate, meaning they help push those damaged, pigmented skin cells to the surface (and then slough them off) to make room for fresh, ne...
Chemical exfoliants refer to exfoliating acids, like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs, says plastic surgeon Melissa Doft, MD. She previously told Cosmothat chemical exfoliants work by dissolving the bonds or the "glue" that holds together dead cells on the surface of your skin, which is key for brighter skin and less noticeable melasma. Not to mention, these e...
If your stubborn melasma isn't responding well to over-the-counter products, it's worth making an appointment with your doctor to talk through the different prescription options. Your derm may give you a compound custom cream that contains any number of different Rx-strength ingredients, like azelaic acid and arbutin, to help fade your melasma. Som...
Bad news first: Skincare routines take time to work. Don't expect to slather on a bunch of products and suddenly be melasma free. Be patient with it—most routines take three to four months to yield visible results. Now for the good news: If you can't be patient and want your melasma gone ASAP (like for a wedding or special event), the fastest way t...
Professional-strength chemical peels can help improve the superficial pigment associate with melasma, says Dr. Westbay, who recommends the medium-depth Jessner peel to her patients. "The Jessner peel traditionally features a mix of alpha and beta hydroxy acids in a specific ratio—14 percent of resorcinol, salicylic, and lactic acid—in an ethanol ba...
