I don't like how the lipstick applies differently on my upper & lower lip (i'm indian so it's like dark). looks odd. Looking forward to get rid of the hyperpigmentation. thanks for this video.

[@db-gb5xi]

I don't know if that's the same thing. This happens with black women as well. In the past, there were cosmetic companies (like Fashion Fair) that catered to women of color that sold what were called lip balancers so your lip color would appear more even on the lips. I don't know if they still sell those products.

[@tanvi9456]

Same issue 🤷 that's bcoz of some deficiency. & what she's talking about in the video is the moustache area, that's where hyperpigmentation can be the cause. I do have both the issues 😂

Having your upper lip wax may also increase your chance of getting it.

[@jennypi]

I’ve faded my melasma with these same guidelines that Dr. Dray has laid out. Definitely sunscreen, being gentle with the skin, and not using too many products (which I know is a natural reflex in order to try and fix the problem). The biggest change occurred though when I became more conscious about nutrition and what I was consuming. For me, I believe my melasma was catalyzed by the food I was eating, perhaps affecting my hormones, and then exacerbated by other factors (i.e. sun, stress, sleep). Everyone’s nutritional needs will be different, but I think it’s something also worth looking into.

No offense but first of all turmeric has been used topically for centuries in India to remove suntan and hyperpigmentation naturally. It is also consumed heavily with no ill effects - ask over 1 billion people. Secondly, hydroquinone is banned in many countries due to severe adverse affects. Thirdly, hyperpigmentation in brown people is often due to diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid issues, eczema - get these under control, and maintain healthy diet. Also frequent waxing can cause irritation. Lastly, If you are a person of color check out the 100s of brown people videos on natural ways of getting rid of hyperpigmentation. Many OTC products don't help treat dark skin.

[@karlawirtz4050]

Could we use these products to correct hyperpigmentation on the actual lips?

[@SherylCurry]

ORGANIC NEEM OIL from WholeFoods for minimum 8 weeks WORKED for me. Put on upper lip at night...just a little...spread with finger. Wipe from lips. VERY strong smell initially, but goes away quickly. I wear it under my makeup, even. It WORKS!

[@vivianhudacek1556]

Probably a year ago I noticed a faint bluish tint above my upper lip. I was horrified, thinking it might be a circulatory problem, particularly since I am a “woman of a certain age.” My investigating online revealed melasma & a possible hormonal connection. I was relieved I wasn’t about to croak from a heart attack. Anyway, on a recent visit to a new dermatologist, I showed her my fingernails, which have a straight dark line running from cuticle to tip on 4-5 of my nails. Then when I removed my mask, she saw my mustache & told me that it’s likely caused from years of taking Minocycline for my rosacea. She changed my meds to Doxycycline. I’m so hoping this change will help, especially since it’s less convenient to take this med (b/c of having to space out daily products, supplements, & other meds & b/c it’s a 2 x day dose). Anyway, perhaps this info. will help someone else. Thanks for your video!

Hi Dr. Dray, thanks for all your advice. I have a video suggestion: best spray SPFs. The reason being for us dark girls (well, for any gal) applying sunscreen 3x a day could be more easily done at our desks while working say, if we can just mist our faces with the sunscreen. I am an architect and I have set my desk up right in front of a glorious window and I don't want to move. Very, very best to you. You're the best.

Dr Dray, believe it or not the thing that has worked best for my hyperpigmentation has been The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing factors with AH. After trying various things, for years and years, this moisturizer started fading it a LOT. My skin was not abnormally dry before, I used other moisturizers, so, what could be the ingredient that's doing it? I added some of their Niacinimide serum and it's working ever more but I swear the moisturizer on its own works.

If the pigmentation is on your actual lip. Dr Vanita Rattan has created a treatment called Lipx. You can check her out on her channel. She is developing more treatments for other areas as this one is specifically for the lip. She specializes in skin of color, skin that tans as opposed to burns.

Are you a good person? Well God gave us the ten commandments as the standard of righteousness. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever stolen anything even if the value was small? Have you ever looked at anyone with lust (God considers that to be adultery in the heart). If you’ve done these things God sees you as a liar, a thief, and an adulterer at heart. God is perfectly Just, Good, and Holy. His justice means hell for those who are guilty. A lot of people think they are “good people” but good deeds can never make you right with God. Would a good judge let a murderer go because they did good things? Of course not, that judge would be corrupt. And since God is good, He must punish all evil. But God made a way for us terrible sinners to be reconciled to Him and save us from His wrath. He became human in the person of Jesus Christ. He died on the cross taking our punishment on Himself, dying, and rising from the dead. He paid the debt we owed because of our sin! God commands everyone to repent and trust in Jesus alone for salvation. Have a wonderful day!

Mam, zinc aren't necessary for the skin. It's just an antioxidant n protecting ingredient. But, we have more better than zinc. If u r using that ordinary 10 % serum. Then that's enough. Also, blue light doesn't harm that much. Just, enjoy ur chemical sunscreen 🙂

If you have gained any new product knowledge or other insights into this issue I would LOVE another video. I tried one of the products without much success but I know different solutions work for different skin types. I’ve had dark patches on my upper lip for the last few years that won’t seem to budge and it would be awesome if you could share any new info! Thank you so much for sharing all of you knowledge! I use cereve moisturizing cream on my face every day because of your advice and it rocks and is so cheap! ❤❤❤you are the best!
