How to Treat and Melasma and Hyperpigmentation

[@chrisanndunn8814]

What product targets each pathway? Please, more detail. Thx.

[@PassionPno]

She has full video on this. Look it up.

[@wiseowl1580]

I did, and the video basically just pushes her very, very expensive skincare line. But she does share some basic ingredients that can help.

[@LittleMukluk]

CoQ10, primrose oil, horny goat weed extract

[@jordandrexler9559]

Niacinamide prohibits the melanosomes from distribution. There are not many known inhibitors of melanosome distribution. As far as inhibiting tyrosinase, niacinamide doesn’t work as well as butylresorcinol or hydroquinone. And finally, exfoliation and retinol/tret are great ingredients to target the pigmentation that has already become visible on the skin

[@amandalouise3597]

@@wiseowl1580Have you watched Doctorly? One of the Dr started a brand called Remedy. I just started using Remedy for dark spots, it's less than $40. I have nothing against this Dr, but her products are much more expensive- almost $70.

[@irenediazsanz386]

Hi! Could you please talk about hypertrophic scars and cheloids in a future video? Specifically why and how they are formed, and how to avoid them from forming. Thank you!

[@Ladybug-lz5un]

You have beautiful skin and the color looks amazing on you!

[@Maybe.Its_You]

All you amazing doctors on KZbin gave me inspiration. I thought that I just had to live with not being happy with my skin, until I stumbled across a derms video (I watch u all now) I have a skin care routine and I’m seeing a dermatologist. Seeing the results and the huge improvement made me realize that I didn’t have to suffer. That there is things you can do that make a difference. So thank you ❤

[@snowymuffin]

And what ingredients do we need to look out for, Dr? Pls I hope you see this. The answer to my question was what I expected before watching your video 😢

[@-MEL16-A.O.C]

You're THE best I've watch the full video and THANK YOU !!!!

[@nirvanasingh2]

Is there a link to the full video somewhere? Thanks

[@-MEL16-A.O.C]

@@nirvanasingh2 on her channel the vid is called "Top ten ingredients to fade hyperpigmentation" 😉

@@nirvanasingh2 you welcome 😉👍

[@leonorpaixao6668]

Great! Please make a video with the products and steps.

[@AmberHelenaReisig]

Can you make a video about under eye hyperpigmentation? I’m Dutch-Indonesian, and I’ve always had it, but it seems to get worse as I grow older.

[@asmazaman3014]

What ingredients are we suppose to use kindly make a clear video on it

[@auelasuka]

Alpha arbutin, vitamin c, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, licorice, glycolic acid, to name a few - they target different pigment pathways like she said and can be used in combinations. Pretty sure she has made some videos on those ingredients too but idk which ones.

[@PassionPno]

@@auelasuka retinoid, azelaic acid, kojic acid, tranexamic acid…

[@jordandrexler9559]

Above answers are missing ingredients that inhibit the distribution of melanosomes. There aren’t a lot of known ingredients that accomplish this, but niacinamide is a popular ingredient that does!

[@juleswick]

Dr. Idriss, you have become my most reliable source of TRUSTED and reliable skin info and just appreciate all that you do soooo much. I saw in one of your other videos that you don’t recommend infrared saunas for people with melasma or hyperpigmentation issues. Do you avoid using LED masks or devices too?? Or do you find those to be “safe” for those of us struggling with this condition?? Lastly, what are your thoughts on Tesla High Frequency tools?? I used one of those everyday while in esthetics school and then purchased one for home use…the more I’m learning from you I’m beginning to wonder if this is what started my melasma in the first place…possibly it generated too much heat for my skin?? Im really eager to know what you think about this so THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. ❤❤❤

[@shireenaliewa6189]

I wish you had product recommendations at the end of your videos.

[@iidasyv]

Could you please make a similar video for post inflammatory erythema? 🙏🏻 how can we “attack” persistent red marks/redness from different angles? What are the relevant angles when treating P.I.E.? Thanks for all your videos 💜

[@hypergolightly]

She already has. Google Dr. Idriss and post inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation.

[@Goldengurl85]

Okat give us the answers. Waiting.... that literally is my skin I hate going outside in the sun or even if I spend a good 30 minimum outside I get dark sun spots on my face.

[@heidijonyetidogr3173]

Okay what is the answer!! Omg I was sooo excited to see this video and it contained nothing. Lol we HAVE melasma help us get the right ingredients I’m desperate!!

[@nafichowdhury99]

Why don't you check her channel and then comment about more knowledge! It's a short video why there would be so much though she had done thousands of video on melasma and hyperpigmentation

[@josephinearriaga7028]

Nothing works. Sunscreen will prevent it from getting worse.

[@mervateskander1306]

I love your videos

[@kevinharvey8513]

Damn I need you to be my dermatologist. A lot of the ones I’ve seen for hyperpigmentation just say u need lasers .

[@celestialstar124]

Just want to let you know that you are very beautiful. Love your eyes and all facial features. ❤

[@jaysanchez6523]

My sunblock melted off(didn’t realize it was out date😳), I didn’t notice until I got home and 🫣😳…my face was streaked. I washed it thoroughly and now realize the streaks are suntanned. 😲😳🤭🤣😂 We all laughed and laughed except it’s now been months and although the streaks are gone I still have some discoloration on my cheekbone area. 😒Not so funny now 😁

[@proudpinay2594]

Ok yo explain that but what skin care brand products to use

[@LaRenaEasterly]

I’m not sure if you’ve done this yet. Can you please make a products video?

[@samelis6546]

I get the justification for anti-aging stuff like wrinkles and sagging skin. But what's wrong with having pigmentation? Is this for treating something more serious?

[@anonymous4142]

Can you make a video about eczema in brown skin ? I have eczema on my body and face (around the mouth ) and i struggle with fading the hyperpigmentation without drying the skin and ending up with an eczema flair up 😩😩😩

[@OMG1877]

Check your tooth paste you might need to get fluoride free tooth paste. But first check with ur dermatologist

[@franss7554]

Thanks Dr! On top of the skincare ingredients that we use topically to combat melasma, is there any laser treatments that you’d recommend adding?

[@TrishaQuinn-c2e]

What products do I use I have the same problem

[@lissandraaaaa]

Do you have any recommendations for scent free, oil free face masks ? Both to hydrate and another to purify. I’m tired of sheet marks having alot of oils that break me out and I’m tired of clay masks have a lot of fragrances in them or do you not recommend them at all ? ❤

[@rickie12]

So what product should I use? My face is almost the same when you had it.

[@indirakaul9625]

What are the products to be used for a mature skin.

[@hypergolightly]

You can use these products for any age and stage to address pigmentation concerns. Age is not a skin type. Work to address what concerns you have for your skin and establish a consistent routine, and it will pay off dividends. It's never too late to start.

[@josephinearriaga7028]

How do you shut that baby down? What kind of inhibitors, please what products best???????

[@parizadshah3792]

What products to use to remove mild melasma..pls advise

[@namjoonsgf41]

How about the skin of our lip maam? Why our lips are darker in color and how to prevent it?

[@ShailyR]

Is it okay to use niacinamide in every product?

Will your products alone cure melasma?

[@junowood5951]

[@user-qx3zv3hy1i]

Need something that works for groin hyperpigmentation

[@uriewhuajiri4146]

I can’t order your product in Canada 😭😭😭😭😭

[@fantasummers3765]

I didn’t even realize that’s what was going on with my skin.

[@as5000]

Telling us layman the cause is no good. Just tell us what to use step by step would be more helpful. Thks

[@rebeccakeating1226]

You don’t mention anything how to do it

[@Littleblackbones]

Ive been to 2 dermatologists in the last week and I got more information and feedback from your videos. You figure San Diego would have decent dermatologists. But no, just another number….
