Skin Care Tip: Reducing pigmentation

submitted by Mary-Ann, Sunshine Coast, FL Australia

I am olive skinned individual who experienced a real bad case of pigmentation after the birth of my daughter. It was so bad, that I had to cover up every minute of the day with make up. After going to so many doctors, skin specialists, and even after going to the skin cancer foundation, they all said the same thing "sorry can't help you, because of the color of your skin." Then I came across a skin doctor who put me on a combination of 10% hydroquinone (bleaching cream), and Retin A Forte Cream. I used this combination and within 3 months the pigmentation started to disappear. Today I am still pigment free, and wear no make up. However, I did experience a little bad luck with using it. After the skin started to peel I was so excited that I started to rub it, which caused a little scarring but with time, it went away. So if anyone using this, don't do what I did. Be patient and your time will come.
