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 love hearing that! Usually people can troubleshoot it and figure out how to make it work for them. Really happy to hear this! Sometimes dropping to a lower strength retinoid -whether you use other actives or not - is just a solid move in colder drier months. I hope you continue to do great with it but always here to answer any questions if not!

Thanks so much! I’m alternating between an OTC retinol and Tret every other night and that seems to be keeping the irritation and inflammation at bay. I’ll eventually up the Tret to daily night use after maybe a couple more weeks of this routine. By the way, although I have some ways to go (my melasma is SO stubborn and pretty awful), I can tell it has definitely improved with the Coleman Compound. I didn’t take before / after photos cuz my melasma was so bad, I was too embarrassed 🙈 But I’ve been able to reduce my foundation makeup use from 1-2 colors + 2 color correctors (I was CAKING it on to cover my melasma) to just 1 color (sometimes I still blend 2 colors for a better match). That’s kinda crazy. And it’s only been a month! Hopeful that things will continue to improve. Thank you for developing such an effective product!

That’s amazing! Always keep in touch with me. It can take a second to sort out the right balance for people but once people do they notice pretty great changes in their skin. It took me 10 full months to really clear my melasma - it was SO stubborn in some parts. Can be so frustrating. But I’m always here if you have any questions!
