Exposing the truth about treating melasma with cosmetics

“Is there any cosmetic that can permanently cure melasma?” This is a question that many people with melasma are interested in, but for their own purposes, there are still many different answers to this issue. In a market filled with cosmetics of unknown origin today, the need for an accurate answer is extremely important. Understanding the psychology of readers, especially those suffering from melasma, we hope the article below will help you answer all your questions.

1. Current status of using cosmetics to treat melasma

Melasma is currently an extremely common skin disease, especially for pregnant and postpartum women over the age of 30. Vietnamese women often prioritize using cosmetics at home to When treating melasma, one part is worried about the technology quality of current spas, and the other part believes that using cosmetics will be more cost-effective than using modern technology to treat melasma. However, in reality, there have been many cases where saving money has not been seen but in return has to suffer heavy consequences. Using cosmetics of unknown origin or, to put it bluntly, mixed creams that are advertised to help smooth your skin, remove dark spots and melasma within a few days will not only make your skin not clear of melasma, but will also put you at risk. Melasma is very widespread.

Mixed creams are so dangerous because the bleaching agents in them such as mercury and corticosteroids will initially lighten and fade the dark spots of melasma. However, you should remember one thing: “The root of melasma is located at the base of melasma.” “bottom of the epidermis or deep under the dermis of the skin” so those bleaches only have the effect of temporarily abrading the top layers of the skin (including melasma), but for melasma located deep below the surface. On the skin’s surface, these bleaches are completely ineffective, the amount of melanin under the surface will continue to be produced and pushed upward and melasma will continue to form. That is the reason why after using the “mixing cream” your skin becomes thin and weak, the melasma will return strongly and spread, becoming darker and darker, causing your skin to seriously degrade.

2. Melasma treatment creams cannot completely cure melasma

Melasma can actually be classified into two main types: superficial melasma and deep melasma
Superficial melasma: This is the most common type of melasma and is usually found in the upper part of the skin, called the epidermis. Shallow melasma often appears as small, uneven brown spots that can be lighter or darker than natural skin color.

Deep melasma: Deep melasma is a more complex type of melasma and affects the water layer of the skin, called the dermis. Deep melasma often appears as spots that are larger and darker than the natural skin color and can be more difficult to treat than shallow melasma.

Distinguishing between superficial and deep melasma is important to provide appropriate treatment methods. Superficial melasma has not yet spread deep, so if you use the correct cosmetic treatment, there is still a high chance that the melasma will be completely cured. As for the case of deep melasma, then the melasma is deep under the dermis of the skin, so it is very difficult to completely treat melasma with cosmetics. At this time, cosmetics can only reduce the melasma.

Therefore, any topical product that claims to “completely cure melasma” is just a form of deception for customers who do not have knowledge about melasma, so they are easily gullible to the seller.

3. Melasma treatment cream cannot reduce melasma for a few days

Whether your melasma is mild or severe, it won’t fade away in just 1-2 days. Melasma does not affect health but is a very difficult disease to treat, requiring patients to be really patient.

For severe melasma, it may take up to 3 months or even more. However, if you consistently use the right melasma treatment cosmetics, we are sure your skin will improve significantly.

4. Using melasma treatment cream in combination with sunscreen will bring high results

Under the influence of UV rays, melasma will spread more widely and even when you only use melasma treatment products without applying sunscreen, the melasma condition will not only not improve but may even get worse. at first. Currently, there are some melasma treatment products that when used in combination with sunscreen will be more effective, for example products containing vitamin C.
