[Favorites products for melasma listed below.] Melasma can be a drag, but when it causes an unwanted mustache, that’s crossing the line 👨🏻

It’s random why people get melasma on different parts of the face. The area above the lip can be prone to more sweat and wash off more sunscreen (which happens to me 🤦🏻‍♀️), so I have to be extra mindful about reapplication of sunscreen in that area.

Melasma can be related to a variety of underlying issues, but most commonly from underlying hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control pills, thyroid issues, and others).

It can be quite stubborn to treat, but I find that topical prescription with hydroquinone and/or tretinoin works well with religious use of sunscreen and vitamin C. Oral tranexamic acid works so well for severe melasma.

Other skin lightening ingredients I look for are kojic acid, niacinamide, hexylresorcinol, cysteamine, alpha arbutin, and exfoliating acids (e.g. glycolic acid).
