@shereeneidriss: How to treat discoloration: Ultimate Nighttime Routine 🔥 📚 For treating hyperpigmentation, your at home routine is essential and consistency is key! Here’s how to get the best results: 1️⃣ Prescription Hydroquinone: The gold standard for melasma and dark spots. Use it **cyclically** under dermatologist supervision to avoid skin tolerance and long-term side effects. 2️⃣ Key OTC Actives: DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE these as they support Hydroquinone, but more importantly continue to calm down pigment when you’re off hydroquinone: - Vitamin C: Brightens and reduces dark spots by neutralizing free radicals. - Niacinamide: Calms inflammation and helps prevent further pigmentation. - Kojic Acid: Inhibits melanin production and works as a powerful skin-brightening agent. - Alpha Arbutin: Gently fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation without irritation. - Retinoids: Boost cell turnover to speed up the fading of dark spots. 3️⃣ Moisturizer: Use a hydrating, active moisturizer to maintain skin barrier health, while continuously supporting your goal to minimize discoloration. **Pro Tip**: Use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent further hyperpigmentation. 🌟 #hyperpigmentation #darkspots #melasma #vitaminc #glycolicacid #retinol #nighttimeroutine #pigmentation #shereeneidriss #dermatologist #dridriss @ShereeneIdriss
Do you feel azelaic acid is more effective than hydroquinone?

When it comes to melasma, exfoliating your skin as a daily routine will worsen the spots: because that irritates and basically your skin is already "alert" (that is the sympton) the effect is hyper pigmentation. Use soft products and very basic routines as prevention but always is better receive the appropiate advice from profesionals.

I have done this sort of routine but it made my skin worse due to too many actives. I m keeping it really simple now and that works a lot better.

Dr. Can I use epiduo once and a week and tretenoin once or twice a week? Epiduo has 1% adapelene so could I start at 0.05%? Also every single moisturiser gives me acne because my skin is so oily
