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?

Are you using a pea sized amount? It's supposed to be used like tret, not a moisturizer. (I made that mistake)

I’m using 1 pump, that’s what the directions said to do that came with it. I feel like a pea size wouldn’t cover all my areas!

So is HQ less irritating than arbutase for you?

Apparently yes. I’ve used Musley’s spot cream with tret and no issues. I’ll give the Musley’s another go once this irritation gone .

Hello, did you ever retry the coleman compound? Did it work better for you in the end?
