She’s so good if it wasn’t for her my skin would have ever cleared up ! Highly recommend this dermatologist

[@caty2ful]

She has amazing hair and beautiful skin. Bring her again to talk about her hair :)

[@Styledbyshabs]

Love Dr.B!! She is my dermatologist too and she saved my skin when I had horrible acne. She is the best ❤❤

[@Anna-mz3us]

svs24 what treatment did she put you on? Accutane?

[@msbarnes1281]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@chloesilverado4513]

This video is informative with very correct information but Molly...stop interrupting that poor lady! You cut her off and interrupt way too much. Let her finish. Constructive criticism.

[@coldplayfreak1235]

Molly, great video! I'm currently using azelaic acid gel for my acne and didn't know it was also effective for treating melasma and hyperpigmentation.

[@happytrails699]

IPL's totally helped my hyperpigmentation. It was amazing. I get an IPL yearly for maintenance and it literally is all gone.

[@lucilazwanck2616]

Hi Molly the Tarte Knockout is excellent and the Kate Somerville Exfolikate intensive is good too for exfoliating. The good Genes of Sunday riley is a good Lactic acid. The advanced age spot of murad have hydroquinone at 2% and give me results. and traid the ziip beauty there is a setting for sun spots that reduce the spots. I been use the device for 1 month and I like it. Thank you for your videos. Kisses Lucila

Thank you, thank you, Molly for making this video!!! I’ve never had children, but have melasma. &, even though I have had a couple of super top dermatologists here in S.F., I never quite understood why I have it & what to do about it. 🤔 This video was so clear about the causes & treatments & now I understand why my latest dermatologist recommended microneedling w/ the rbp & feel hopeful. 🙂 Btw, my local all organic grocery store just started carrying HU chocolate. Since you mentioned it was an amazing chocolate bar in your “What I Eat in a Day” video, I bought one this afternoon & loved it! Thanks so much for your super healthy & helpful content!!! 🌿🌸🦢💕

[@janetduffy9036]

Is there a list of all the products?

[@GuidetteExpert]

Dont forget indoor light, lights on hte phone and computer os one of the causes of melasma. And it doesnt matter when you put C vitamin on your face only the retinol.

[@arosef6522]

Can you please do a morning and night routine with Melasma products??? Thank you

Your videos are perfect. Thanks to you and the team for producing amazing content. 1) please tell me where I can get the outfit molly has on😍

[@danijandi]

I’m an MD with melasma and understand the struggle. Mine was triggered SEVERELY by IPL. In fact, I never knew I had melasma until after I had IPL. It creates a lot of heat in the skin. My derm (didn’t do the IPL) said it’s pretty well known this can happen. I am diligent about SPF, sun exposure. BEWARE ALL!

[@bbjonas4233]

Danielle Jandial nice of you to put out the warning. Thank you

[@tylerrubenechevarria7880]

Marla Robinson what do you think about PLs had melasma on her skin? 😣

[@julieete257]

What is IPL?

[@cathydunfee5381]

Hi Molly and Dr B. My question is about our eyes. How do we treat dark circles, puffiness and crows feet? Do you feel a separate eye cream is necessary or are we allowed to use these products, like retinal, that close to the eye?

[@jeannaurlacher2451]

Hi, Who makes your adorable dress? Love it!

[@msheartface5288]

Molly/Dr B it’s important to answer the questions directed at you below. Thanks 🙏

[@STwidwell]

Of course, SunVanish is Rx only! Bummer. :(

[@buggie782]

How does Tranexamic acid compare to hydroquinone?

[@shaynek.3806]

Thank you so much for this 💕💕

[@marinagordolyle1478]

Alpha Arbutin is a natural form of hydroquinone & very efficient

[@lisaj2521]

What are options when you have reactions to those ingredients 😔. I recently went to a derm and was prescribed that exact blend of ingredients and suffered horrible contact dermatitis. I feel devastated and defeated. This condition robs me of any self confidence and I am at a loss...what can I do to get relief from this condition

[@rustythedog1940]

Triluma. Has the 3 ingredients.

[@lottie1144]

I can’t get behind all this sunscreen use. (I live in SoCal) I get out of the sun before I start to burn. The chemicals in sunscreen are frightening.

[@lovinglife439]

try a mineral one

[@bbjonas4233]

Charløtte R I've read coconut oil can serve as a sunscreen. Of course, it won't protect entirely, but, if you're opposed to using chemicals, might be worth a try

[@lovinglife439]

BB Jonas It only has an SPF of four or five. You need at least an SPF 30 to protect yourself adequately.

[@bbjonas4233]

Loving Life Hi, thanks! I know its not optimal. I just suggested bc I thought it would be better for her than nothing at all since she was opposed to sunscreen.

[@lovinglife439]

BB Jonas Well, yes, something is better than nothing. 😊

[@angelabowser5939]

Does the dr.s formula work on forearms and chest too? I have controlled my melasma w lots of exfoliating products/Suntegrity or Raw Elements sunscreen but I can’t get it to fade on the other areas😢

[@julieete257]

Those products are super expensive for me

[@christinemack2153]

Love you ladies and keep this content going!!! Physicians Formula makes nice booster products, i.e., vitamin C and affordable.

[@opaloakley]

Can electrolysis cause melasma?
