I do have a question for you two: Is it a good idea to combine the faded tropicals serum and the inkey list tranexamic acid serum/ alpha arbutin in a routine? For instance using one for day time routine and the other for night time routine or would it be too much for the skin and not a good idea to combine in that manner?

    Thank you for this amazing video. I have been fighting melasma for over 3 decades now and watching this video has got me worried about the usage of hydroquinone even though I have only used it as recommended by doctors. While your video is very informational, I would love to have some direction of what exactly my daily routine needs to be. Like step by step - do this first, then this, then this sort of a thing. Apologies for being so needy but after more than 3 decades of struggling with this, I am nervous to try things without explicit direction. Thank you so much in advance! Happy new Year!

    I have battled hardcore with melasma since pregnancy 5 years ago. Been going to a Dermatologist and we did all kinds of chemical peels and hydroquinone and you’re so “spot” on. 😉 Once back in the sun sans sunscreen BOOM 💥 back with a vengeance. The peels actually made it appear worse and it’s so true the only thing that worked was the hydroquinone. I’m so happy you warned about long term risks of that product; I was not educated on that.

    Question: Sun exposure obviously increases hyperpigementation, but doesn't heat alone aggravate and increase melasma specifically?
    It's super frustrating that I can be wearing sunscreen and a sun hat and still have melasma spots darken in less than an hour in the heat.

    So true that growing up in a household where we tan quite easily SPF wasn’t a priority. Lots of years running around the pool without SPF & around 35 severe discoloration started to appear. Now at almost 50, after about 8 years of lots of work, patience & lots of SPF I’m at a manageable level. Anyone who asks for what I’ve used. I always advise seeing their Dr. first to identify the cause so the treatment is appropriate for the cause 🙌🏼 Also - I invest in really high quality UPF 50+ hats in addition to SPF 🌟 Thanks for the info about the actually formation of the discoloration 🌟 very informative video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m excited to pick up & test Faded!

      I laugh with my kids now about how my son is dark middle eastern skin tone, I'm Portuguese/Lebanese so I ran beautifully and he takes after me. My daughter on the other hand, has porcelain white skin that burns quick ( takes after her dad) When they were young we lived at the beach... I'd slather my daughter in sunscreen and tell me son " you're allset you don't burn" I cringe when I think back to those days... We live and learn

    You guys are brilliant and such a dynamic duo. I’m an esthetician student and obsessed w your content! 🙌🏼 .. is there anyway way you could do a video on “medical-grade” skincare. I’m confused if there’s actually a difference in active percentages and/or ingredients allowance IF ANY. Not medical grade as in prescription drugs but skincare marketed that way that you can only get as an esthetician or from an esthetician or that are incredibly expensive usually, cosmeceuticals, etc. hopefully that makes sense. Are these skincare brands any better active-wise/formulation/research in anyway and if so how. Thanks you I’m a faithful follower!! Also, I’m getting mixed answers about if esthetician’s are actually allowed to use higher percentage actives than over the counter concentrations in a non-medical setting.

    In darker skin tones be careful with hydroquinone which can cause rebound hyperpigmentation and glycolic acid which can cause burns at higher percentages

    • @carpediemearth
      @carpediemearth Před 2 lety +21

      Yes, skin of color shouldn't be using hydroquinone at all. It's irritating and can lead to worse hyperpigmentation after a few months, and this can happen to caucasian skin as well. There are also studies that show toxicity. There are many great alternatives to hydroquinone (and which you can use indefinitely, unlike hydroquinone), including the tyrosinase inhibitors alpha arbutin, azelaic acid, tranexamic acid, dioic acid, kojic acid dipalmitate, licorice root, octadecanoic acid, even vitamin C and green tea extract. Niacinamide is a good supportive ingredient. And the most effective and quickest treatment for hyperpigmentation is one that uses multiple tyrosinase inhibitors at the same time.
      Glycolic acid is a risk for skin of color because it's a tiny molecule that when penetrating the skin can lead to burns and inflammation, which can lead to hyperpigmentation. There are also may alternative exfoliators to glycolic acid - in the AHA group, mandelic acid and lactic acid are safe and effective alternatives; the BHA salicylic acid is great; and PHAs gluconolactone and lactobionic acid are also effective, safe alternatives. Glycolic acid is not necessary to use. If you want to use it, or a product you love has it, then use a maximum 5% of glycolic acid.

      @carpediemearth Před 2 lety +9

      @@jaylove1931 Alpha arbutin is not hydroquinone. Alpha arbutin doesn’t kill the cells that produce pigmentation, it inhibits tyrosinane (enzyme) which stimulates the pigment-producing cells, therefore preventing hyperpigmentation. The effect in the skin is similar, but alpha arbutin is a safe, non-irritating ingredient, unlike hydroquinone. It does work at a slower pace, however. Like I said above, using a product with multiple tyrosinase inhibitors is a more effective and efficient way to clear and prevent hyperpigmentation than just using one.

    I’ve been suffering with dark spots since my skin went crazy in my 20’s. I tried everything and one thing I did try was Hydroquinone . Back in the day I wasn’t educated that well in skincare but hydroquinone I found out wasn’t the best for people of color. I remember when I used it I found it actually made my skin darker but it should be noted that I bought this at a Sephora and as a person who worked for Sephora we were not educated well enough about this product. I’m still on my journey but I’ve been using the FADED serum and it’s actually pretty great. Patience, consistency and sunscreen 👏🏽 that’s the key
