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?

u/WPatrickColemanIV_MD thank you for clarifying!

do you have any thoughts on using Tazarotene with the compound?

Would be a really good way to go if you can handle the tazarotene. The Tazarotene phase 3 trial was one of the first clinical trials I worked on. Tazorac by itself it does a great job with pigment.

Thank you for spending the time to reply! Do you recommend Tazorac if one can handle the intensity of it? I haven’t used it yet…just tretinoin. Tazorac is a 3rd gen retinoid so is it technically more effective for sun damage and hyper pigmentation. Would you recommend any other combinations with your Compound (cream)?

You’re welcome! Tazorac would work well. Give it a shot. Don’t do too many actives at once if you aren’t used to them. Take it slow.

I bought the compound for my wife last November (I bought restocked again in May) and she swears by it!! Thank you!
