Best Supplements for Improving Dark Marks

Dark spots, Post Inflammatory, Hyperpigmentation, and Melasma are notoriously difficult skin conditions to treat. Many people find themselves on the hunt for the perfect option to clear the dark marks and once the hyperpigmentation is finally cleared the rollercoaster ride begins of trying to keep the spot clear or prevent new marks from showing up. This can become very exhausting as even the very best topical ingredients have their limits.
As we start to approach the warmer weather and venture outside you may want to consider choosing one of the supplements discussed to help fight hyperpigmentation from the inside out. Listed below are the dietary changes and supplements as well as a new prescription pill that is super effective when it comes to treating hyperpigmentation in the right patient.
Up your Vit C by drinking lemon water, eating your colorful veggies etc. broccoli and asparagus are rich in the mother of all antioxidants glutathione. Add antioxidants+ anti-inflammatory spices to your food like turmeric and ginger, drink your green tea and Indulge wisely Red wine and dark chocolate are also rich in antioxidants
The number one supplement that I recommend to my patients because there is mounting scientific evidence showing how beneficial and effective it is at treating melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation is polypodium leucotomos PLE is a fern plant extract oral antioxidant found in:
summerready:shop-links.co/...
isdin:shop-links.co/...
heliocare: shop-links.co/...
There are some new products on the market worth mentioning that you guys my want to look into I am currently trying the Blur Potion by Zitsticka. It has a nice blend of antioxidants:
In regards to oral prescription medications there is an extremely effective scientifically-backed oral medication for melasma called Tranexamic acid - it works by decreasing melanin synthesis, and decreasing angiogenesis, and significantly reduces the visible appearance of hyperpigmentation its been prescribed for years by our Obgyn colleagues for clotting disorders and it is considered an off label use* Rx required & not everyone is a good candidate) From my patient experience and extensive review of the data, this is one of my favorite options for the appropriate patients who are dealing with stubborn recalcitrant melasma. You absolutely have to talk to your doctor about the risk vs benefits of this medication everyone is NOT a good candidate.
These do not take the place of sunscreen* Sunscreen is still your number 1 defense against any and all forms of hyperpigmentation, These are a fantastic additional option especially for those with stubborn pigmentation.

Its very common for us to take this supplement as young as 16 years old for our skin, hair, nails and bone health. On top of that, we avoid the sun like a plague, wear good sunscreen, good skincare and bodycare....That's why a lot of asians have such beautiful skin.

I also started double cleansing with palmers oil cleaner and then I use palmer's complexion bar soap and then the neutrogena bright boost polisher but sometimes i use the oil soap then the polisher and then the bar soap just to get rid of any extra residue from the polisher it has tiny beads in in it. After that if I have any pimples I spot use neutrogena clear skin oil eliminating pore cleanser. Then I use pure almond oil I start under the eyes like an eye cream and I put a little on my lashes it helps them stay full I used to wear individuals so this helped my natural lashes grow back anyway then I use Palmers skin therapy oil for face it's a retinol keep it away from your eyes take about 2 or 3 minutes rubbing in each product. Then I use Palmer's skin success for dark marks next I apply a cocoa butter stick in a circular motion and after I massage that in I use a nice amount of shea butter. In the morning I used to wash just with the complexion bar because I've always had dry skin but now it's much more balanced so I double cleanse in the morning now. Most of the products have added sunscreen. I will list the prices and stores if you want just let me know. I know that it sounds like a lot but you will see a nice difference in a day or two also let me know if you want my sunday facial routine as well. Please give it a try if you can because it help tremendously and I would love an update because I already know you're about to glow girl.

Can you make a video on morning and evening routine? Showing step by step what needs to be done for hyperpigmentation

[@fizzy3949]

Really enjoy watching your videos, the educational content has significantly guided me through my skin process. I'm so grateful for your content!

[@joangordon8225]

Wow! This is awesome. I have tried creams etc etc to try to help with hyperpigmentation im definitely going to try these. Thankyou so much!

[@SkinCareLuver]

I found something a little more adorable and better than ISDN caps. They are called Sunsafe RX and cost $30 and contain more supplements. I plan on using this as I am turning 39 this year ahd want to maintain healthy good looking skin along with The Nu's skin moisturizer and retinol in Pill Form. I get my Nu products next week and my Sunsafe tomorrow along with the heliocare capsules

[@lifewithklc]

My own derm recommended, and I’m currently taking the low dosage OTC Heliocare along with spot applying prescription fade cream, and sunscreen daily.

[@upasanatuladhar3676]

Does it work?

[@Rom10sta2]

Is it worth it

[@upasanatuladhar3676]

How long should we take it? I found it on amazon. Can we directly buy n use without doc's prescription? What is meant by low dose? Does it help with melasma? Plz suggest. Thanks
