Dr Alexis Stepehens talked about Eucerin anti-pigment and Thiamidol many months ago on her channel so I got it for my mom who is dark skinned and had developed really bad melasma. Almost like a dark mask. her derm prescribed a cream that did nothing. I agree, it does have a strong scent BUT it has worked for her. She uses the suncreen 1x day and serum 2x per day. After about 4 months its almost completely gone. For her it's worrth the scent.

She probably would get better results if sunscreen was applied 2x/day

The thing about fragrance- you can enjoy it in many ways: shampoo and other hair products, perfumes and antiperspirants. But my opinion -it doesn’t belong in skincare. Many of us love nice smelling products, we just can’t use it on our face, but everyone can use fragrance free skincare.

Thank you for the video Dr Dray. I have used both serums. The Eucerin one and the Nivea one. I have very sensitive skin so fragrance is not my friend. I really do not recommend the Eucerin one. It burned my skin and the fragrance was very intense. My face was swollen for days. The nivea one on the other hand has a softer scent and that one did not irritate my skin. I would still not recommend them for sensitive skin due to the fragrance. But thiamidol works. So go for the Nivea one if you want to try it.

You use that serum at night; it’s thick, creamy, fragrant if you’re ok with it, and it does a marvelous job tackling spots and dryness also. In the morning, you wake up to a luxurious supple soft and even skin. I understand if fragrance can be too much, but please don’t dismiss the great benefits of the serum due to a fragrance that will last literally for 2 minutes. Use it at night only. It works!

As a Fitzpatrick 1-2, I have two VERY pesky sun spots that, finally I have gotten under control after 3-4 years of hardcore skincare trial & error (and being a Dr. Dray devotee 😊). Daily sun protection is the first principle. I have learned to hit the melanocytes from different angles, therefore, I use Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide, a Retinol serum and an Azalaic Acid cream. Seems like a lot, but I rotate the products. Works for me, but I am always open to new ingredients. I think I may look at Nivea Luminous 360, but am not in a hurry. Thanks for this info Dr. Dray.

Same. I’m a Fitzpatrick 2-3 and use every ingredient under the sun - currently tretinoin, azelaic acid, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, transexamic acid, licorice root, glutathione, etc mostly people focus on targeting tyrosinase inhibitors which includes many of the above ingredients. not many people focus on dopaquinone to melanin conversion pathways - which there’s only gluthanione and cysteine. niacinamide works great for melanosome transfer pathways. i’ve tried hydroquinone before - maybe it was the product formula but i didn’t like it too much

[@augustbaby9477]

The Eucerine anti-pigment line has been a holy grail for my melasma-prone skin. I had tried many other things -- different products with kojic acid, topical tranexamic acid, various lasers, hydroquinone -- nothing worked or barely made a difference (hydroquinone actually made my melasma worse when it was time to take a break). On the other hand, just a few weeks of Eucerine's thiamidol (I'm using all 3 products that Dr. Dray mentions in the video -- dual serum, night cream, and day cream), and my melasma was and still is 85-90% gone! I can even afford going under the sun once in a while (not too aggressively, though), because the Eucerine then takes care of my skin :) The scent hasn't been an issue for me at all. It is noticeable, but definitely not horrible and wears off pretty quickly. The one thing that folks might find irritating is how oily the day cream is (but i think most spf creams are). I just let the cream stay on my skin for a few minutes, then put tinted EltaMD spf on top (the tinted spf glides very well as the 2nd layer after Eucerine), let both layers sit on my skin for a while longer until i am ready to get out of the door; then i just blot the extra grease with a paper towel and/or oil absorbing sheets. Perfect!

You are right about the door. But can't find a window. Pink pillow does something. Amazing how much this pop of colour brings to any decor.

I’m using Eucerin right now and I personally love the scent. It’s pretty mild and doesn’t last long. Don’t know yet if it’ll work but I m going to give it a try.

[@elenbrandt290]

As always - thank you, sincerely, for taking one for the team. You are a brilliant "crash test" volunteer. We all appreciate it!

I know it's controversial, but kojic acid soap has given me glowing skin. I am blonde with medium skin tones (usually go for the "nude" or "golden ivory" foundation). Kojic acid soap every other day has made my skin so even toned I wear a little tinted sunscreen (Nivea or Neutrogena) and have really nice looking skin. Anyway, works for me.

[@mohuachakravarti6879]

Can you tell which kojic acid soap helped you? Where did you buy it from?

[@angiepattillo3599]

Is your skin sensitive?

[@potati8503]

Are you using kojie san?

This ingredient has worked better for me a in week than 2 months of Hydroquinone! Crazy! Ordering it from overseas.

[@realdoll99]

I so enjoy your videos and they’re so helpful! I’m using sunscreen everyday thanks to you! Blessings abundant to you and your new beautiful home!

[@skinloverbyvane]

It’s not a gatekeeper is just not sold in the US, this is the most popular anti pigment treatment in Mexico and many other countries

[@elenapalacios6853]

Hello Dr, Fray! I just got my Nivea luminous hoping it will work for me. I've tried several serums, arbutin, Timeless vitamin c and others. Will see if this new ingredient works better for me! Thanks! I got it at Costco in Mexico, super cheap.

[@Gardenhappy-k2x]

The eucerin thiamidol products have worked best for me. I tried hydroquinone but had sever rebound melasma when I tried to cycle off it following my dermatologists careful instructions. So I had to stop that. I found helpful advice on KZbin from other derms and I have tried most of the affordable products out there but nothing seemed to work. I finally tried meladerm and used that consistently for over a year which did help somewhat. Obviously a lot of sunscreen layers of derm recommended sunscreen. Vitamin C from timeless helped somewhat. Red light therapy also looks like it helps me a bit but not infrared. Anyway I tried those all one step at a time and I was using all of them. I then added the la roche posay product. I think it did help with some hyperpigmentation from some acne but did not seem to do anything for the melasma. I finally tried the eucerin serum and sunscreen. I stopped the meladerm and the la roche posay. I used the vitamin C most but not all days because I was dealing with some dryness and irritation (not from the eucerin). I’m not as consistent as I would like to be with my red light. Sunscreen is on me always every day inside or outside and a hat if outside. Only the eucerin with thiamidol has made a big change I have to say. I did see improvement I guess it was between 4 and eight weeks. It was much worse on my drivers side and it’s now made such a difference that the left side and the right are looking much more similar.its still there but it’s a much lighter brown color and easier to cover with makeup. It’s frustrating and difficult to deal with melasma especially when makeup really doesn’t cover it despite correctors and concealers. What I don’t know is do different people just need different topicals for their melasma or do most of them just not work that well unless the condition is mild? Or is the thiamidol really just that much better at achieving hydroquinone like results?

eucerin is really stepping its game up. their night cream is amazing !😊

[@verapopovic3757]

I usedthe serum for 2.5-3 months (1 bottle) 1x per day and sometimes not every day but pretty regularly. I have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after a pimple and it worked very nicely for me. I generally dont like eucerin and I was extremely skeptical. The fragrance is extremely strong and my eyes were watering so I didnt use it anywhere near my eyes. In general I am very satisfied and I will be re-purchasing it again.

[@Jules-sc6ic]

the fragrance in EUCERIN is horrible that's true but they really work! just do spot treatments :)

[@21972012145525]

[@thanosfield2642]

460 $ no mam 😅. I will continue with my alpha arbutin and it's fragrance free 🎉. Thanks for the info on thiamidol 😊❤.

[@Buccaneer115]

I can tell you (anecdotically) Thiamidol got rid of a huge papule pustule red mark in 1 month and a half. Like made it completely disappear. Sadly i have dry skin and eucerin loves putting Alcohol denat and fragrance in everything.

[@Curiouscreator2]

​@@Buccaneer115yes I was surprised to see denat alcahol in their pigment body moisturiser

[@courtneyderouen]

What? The daytime serum with spf30 is $26 and the night cream is $26. I found this on Amazon.

[@thanosfield2642]

@@courtneyderouen she mentioned the la prairie white caviar that contains thiamidol and costs 460 $ so mentioning a price isn't exactly math in my pov 😅.

I’m from Argentina. I’ve been using the Nivea line for about a year now and have been loving it! I had a bit of melasma on my upper lip and now it’s gone! I also use niacinamide and azelaic acid also extremely cautious about sun exposure. I also hate fragrance in my skincare but this one isn’t that bad and doesn’t irritate me 👍🏻 and for the price against the eucerin products is a win!

[@paulahatch9955]

Happy Monday Dr Dray…see you tomorrow x💙🤩

[@DinaAsy]

I am watching from Egypt but never heard of the Bobai product before. Looks like it is fairly inexpensive so maybe I will try it out and see! I do like both of the Nivea and the Eucerin products in terms of effectiveness, agree that the fragrance is offputting though but it does not matter when spot treating IMO.

[@21972012145525]

Ok plz share if you like it! I wish I could access it

I've been using this product for 2 months and it is working. Working wonders. It even decreased my small keloid. The only product I've seen help me with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation

[@bhamblen1397]

I tried the Eucerin serum last year and I remember disliking not only the fragrance but the texture. To me, it felt sticky and difficult to spread on the skin. If they ever reformulated it I might consider repurchasing

[@charlesd.1102]

Here in Brazil they sell the Luminous 630 line and it's very affordable, costs half the price of the Eucerin anti-pigment stuff. I tried the Nivea night serum, lasted about 2 months and i perceived a lightening effect, first time noticing this on a cosmetics. Most local reviews of the product raves about it. But yeah, does have fragrance that smells like perfume, kinda strong but i personally don't mind.

[@nancypadilla3509]

Would you make a video reviewing the Cosmelan peel for melasma. My Dermatologist recommended it to me and cost $800 for one treatment.

[@asmaaelkhouly1068]

Yes, Bobai is an Egyptian brand, it's great and reduces pigmentation. But for me it increased sweating around my mouth area, but I think it's due to climate in Egypt in summer. So I keep using it on my hands. May be in winter it would be perfect for my face.

[@MuyBriana]

I have been using the Eucerin dual serum for almost a year and it has done a wonderful job of keeping my Melasma under control after completing a round of HQ 4%. The smell is AWFUL, but I’ve had such great results I continue to use it.

[@marygrise8490]

I agree. 450 is ridiculous. In another video you spoke about sunscreen making your eyes water when you are driving. Can you recommend one that does not do that and does not leave a cast?? Thank you

[@21972012145525]

You have to do trial and error. What works for one doesn't work for another. She has several videos on chemical sunscreens. I think drmtlgy is one that she recommends Alot

[@SwanTheQueen]

Yeah! I kept asking you for years about this lol 😝 I was surprised to finally see the title

[@spaingirl87]

i have freckles and used the eucerin anti pigment cream at night time consistently from decemeber to june and I saw no change at all to the pigmentatoin or other improvement to other spots. the scent doesnt bother me at all and didnt irritate my skin.

[@spaingirl87]

im fitzpatrick 3 to 4 (so light skin hispanic) I also used tretinoin and AHA with it. I am noticing more of a difference in the PCA pigment gel in the one month of using it than this product. however of course it could have had an impact. If you wanted to try the Eucerin pigment cream I would say its safe to use everyday with other products as well as two times a day.

[@DrDrayzday]

see some of my videos on hyperpigmentation

[@21972012145525]

I don't think it's suppose to work for freckles. Someone else wrote here it works for their hyperpigmentation

[@danadarkness7513]

I wish I could try it, but I also can't handle most scented skincare. If it doesn't smell too strong to use, it will still most likely irritate my overly sensitive skin. Most brands obviously don't have their teams watching content creators who aren't already giving their products good feedback

[@rationale7727]

Maybe the active ingredient smells bad, so they formulate with the addition of masking fragrance.

[@atana.potnia]

This is also the ingredient they use in the Nivea Luminous 630 range (the patented name they gave to this molecule, with Nivea also being owned by Beiersdorf). Much more affordable than Eucerin, a lot of people are reporting very promising results. Don't know if you can get it there in the U.S., I bought their eye cream a few days ago, as they - drum roll - are marketing the same ingredient also to fade dark circles caused by hyperpigmentation. They promise visible results in 4 weeks. Been using it just for a few days, we'll see...!

[@zarra881]

I’m medium tan skin asian living in tropical country and had tried cyspera, pico laser, hydroquinone to remove my PIH none of them work and gave side effects , i don’t have melasma.. but the only thing that work are eucerin thiamidol it faded my PIH that i had for 5 years… and everyone notice how glowing my skin is best part it doesn’t irritates my skin at all, i am acne prone so i buy the one with sebum control

[@cupcakenurse]

I was really excited to use the anti pigment night cream but couldn’t use it because the fragrance is STRONG. I used it one night, and the next morning I woke up with a headache and my eyes were swollen. I have melasma from my pregnancy a few years ago. I typically like Eucerin products so I was hopeful-more like nopeful with a full bottle that I use on my elbows.

[@21972012145525]

Nopeful 😅

[@fablihaenamdurdana3576]

Dr Dray… I love your videos and how informative it is. Your videos has always helped me understand skincare immensely better. Please do a review on Numbuzin No-5+ Vitamin Concentrated serum for dark spot and PIH treatment. The ingredient list seems so promising and yet I have not seen any dermatologist youtuber reviewing it. The serum is comparatively cheap and I just dont understand where’s the catch.

[@Andrea-ue7gv]

I‘ve been using eucerin spf with thiamidol for years and I love it, but the only thing that faded my hyperpigmentation is 20% azelaic acid. The eucerin sunscreen does have a strong fragrance but I feel like it’s only been like that for the last year or two. It used to be almost fragrance free. Idk why they changed it.

[@fatu5147]

This THIAMADOL is the best
