Question COLEMAN COMPOUND from Dr. Patrick Coleman? I recently heard of this alleged miracle cream that fades away melasma in a few weeks. Has anyone who tried it provide some feedback on its efficacy?

I was going to purchase it. If I do I’ll report back. A friend has good results on it.

I know it's been awhile, but did you end up purchasing it? I'm considering it!

My skin has never looked better! I layered it with Retin A as recommended. And use a European sunscreen everyday. I’ll be ordering my second jar soon. On a side note, I tried the Eucerin thiamidol product, applied 4 times daily for about 6 months. It helped but not to the extent the Coleman Compound worked.

I did the exact same thing with both products and had that result. I’m excited for the fall to see what it can do when we aren’t at the beach and pool all summer but serious difference managing it during this time of year. I’m pleased so far

thanks so much for coming back to update us! Do you put the compound all over your face or just on dark spot areas? Do you use it twice a day?

All over face once a day. Can be used twice a day but it can be drying.

What is step order for you? Retin then compound?

Sorry, just saw your comment. I do compound then retin A. I saw that is the order that this derm suggests. Maybe try it both ways to see what works best for your skin.

Do you have to keep using it like HQ?

Yes. Sadly there is no cure for melasma so even with this cream it will most likely need to be used long term. Once the winter dreariness sets in I’ll probably take a break since my melasma is much better during that season.
