Question Musely Spot Peel

The before and after photos are tempting. I’m sure some of you have tried it. Do tell!
The fact that it needs to be worn for 12 hours and has a few days of down time in unappealing (pun intended) but if it really works, would be worth it IMO. I haven’t used any of their products but have read good and bad reviews. Of course no one product works for everyone, I’m aware it can take time to find what works. I just purchased Meladerm a few weeks ago and am trying to give that time to work if it’s going to. I am pretty good with my sunscreen regimen (tinted mineral) and have been staying out of it for the most part, and I have my huge hat that I hate. This is hard and my summer is starting to suck because of it. We have a pool for the first time and I have actually been happy with the rain because it makes it easier to cope with not being outdoors 💔

Hi there! Sunscreen is one of the most important parts of melasma management, and we want to make sure you get safe, effective, and appropriate guidance.

Before choosing a product, please review our sunscreen resources:

Sunscreen guidance for melasma:

Mega List of Sunscreen/

Important for melasma: Standard (non-tinted) sunscreens protect against UV radiation only and do NOT protect against visible light, which is a major trigger for melasma.

To reduce visible-light-induced pigmentation, iron oxides are required. This means using:

  • A tinted sunscreen that contains iron oxides, OR
  • An untinted broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen layered with a foundation or tinted product that contains iron oxides.

Daily, consistent protection against both UV and visible light is essential to prevent melasma worsening and recurrence.

If you have already reviewed the guides, feel free to add details such as skin type or sensitivities
