How To Use Melasma Cream

Melasma creams have several names which include: bleaching creams, skin lightening creams, fading creams, and skin brighteners. Despite the difference in names they all have the same common goal which is to lighten your skin.

There are some creams for melasma that require a prescription from a doctor, and then there are some that can be bought over the counter without a prescription.  In this article we'll discuss some of the best creams for melasma and how to use them to get the best results.

How Melasma Creams Work

It's important to know how these creams work to fade away melasma discoloration. Generally, all these topical creams for melasma work the same way and that's by either destroying the cells in the skin that produce melanin, or by inhibiting the process that produces new melanin in the skin.

Skin Lightening Agents

How effective a certain cream is at removing melasma will depend on the type of skin whitening agents or ingredients it contains. Some skin whitening agents only work for epidermal (outer layer of the skin) melasma, while others work more effectively for dermal (deeper layers of the skin) melasma. Each ingredient in a skin whitening cream has a specific action that helps fade away pigmentation.

Some of the most commonly used skin whitening agents include:

Hydroquinone

By far the most popular type of skin lightening agent used in melasma removal creams is hydroquinone. This skin lightening ingredient is so popular because it's very effective at reducing the melanin pigment in your skin and fading away discoloration. It does this by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme used to create melanin.

However, it's also a very controversial medication because it can cause carcinogenic side effects (cause skin cells to become cancerous) if used for too long.

Other risks associated with using creams that contain hydroquinone include:

• Damaged skin pigment cells.
• Lighten areas on the skin that are not affected by melasma.
• Bumpy or thick  skin.
• Increased risk of developing more hyper-pigmentation in the future.
• Can cause ochronosis (blue tint on the skin).

Keep in mind these side effects usually only occur if the hydroquinone cream has been used for longer than what was prescribed.

For these reasons hydroquinone has actually been banned in several countries in Asia as well as Europe. Hydroquinone is still legal in the United States and can be bought over the counter in 2% strength. Anything that contains 4% or higher concentration of hydroquinone will require a prescription from a doctor.

Dermatologists usually prescribe 4% concentration of this skin bleaching ingredient, but you can get it as high as 8%. Normally just the hydroquinone is enough by itself to fade away dark spots, but sometimes it's combined with other skin lightening agents such as tretinoin and cortisone to make it more effective.

You should start noticing hydroquinone's skin lightening effects in about four weeks of consistently applying it. In some cases it may take a little longer than a month to see improvements.

If for some reason you don't see any skin lightening effect within 3 months you should discontinue using the hydroquinone cream and go back to your dermatologist.

Kojic Acid

Another popular skin lightening ingredient commonly found in melasma creams is kojic acid. This pigment inhibitor is naturally derived from a variety of different species of mushrooms. The fermentation of rice during the brewing process of the Japanese wine known as Sake can also produce kojic acid.

Since it's a naturally derived skin lightener it's considered a much safer skin lightening agent compared to hydroquinone. The reason most people's skin can handle kojic acid better than hydroquinone is because it penetrates skin layers and inhibits the production of melanin in that one specific spot you're applying.

Licorice Extract

Another popular skin lightening ingredient is licorice root extract. This skin lightening agent is believed by many to be a much better alternative to the chemical hydroquinone because it helps lighten your skin without all the side effects.

Glabridin is the main component in licorice that inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme responsible for the production of the melanin pigment in the skin. Other names licorice extract might have when listed as an ingredient are glycyrrhizin extract, dipostassium glycyrrhizate, and glycyrrhiza glabra.

Just like any other skin lightening agent, don't expect licorice root extract to bless you with lighter skin overnight. Consistently applying the extract to the affected areas on your face each day is the best way to achieve the results you want. It may take up to 2 months to begin seeing noticeable results in your skin.

Mulberry

Mulberry leaf extract comes from the mulberry tree which is primarily found in China. This natural skin lightening ingredient has been used for years to help even out skin tone and improve other skin conditions.

This natural skin lightening ingredient helps reduce the appearance of melasma by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme. The active compounds in the mulberry extract that gives it skin lightening abilities are bis-phenylderivatives, polyhydroxylated mono, and prenylated.

Along with its skin lightening benefits it contains a lot of antioxidants that can help slow down the aging process by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and promoting smooth skin.

White mulberry and paper mulberry are two types of mulberry extract that are used as skin lightening ingredients in some melasma creams.

Retinoid

Retinoid is a type of chemical compound that's derived from vitamin A. Also known as Retin A, this cream helps fade away brown spots due to melasma by increasing cell turnover rate until the clear skin beneath it is revealed.

The reason retinoid is used as a skin lightening agent in a lot of creams is because it fades away the discolored cells while keeping your skin hydrated so you don't experience much irritation if any. Other benefits retinoid has on the skin include:

• Improve texture
• Tightens up pores
• Stimulates blood circulation
• Increases collagen production

Retin A creams for melasma are a great alternative if your skin doesn't respond well to hydroquinone based creams. It may take as much as 6 months to begin noticing results with using a retinoid based cream.

Arbutin

Extracted from the bearberry tree, arbutrin helps lighten dark spots by inhibiting the enzymes that stimulate the melanocyte cells which produce the melanin pigment. Alpha-Arbutin and Beta-Arbutin are the 2 forms this skin lightening ingredient is used in skin brightening creams.

Other benefits arbutin might have on your skin include moisturizing dry skin, fading freckles, and reducing acne scars. It can take a while to see noticeable results with using creams with arbutin by itself. It's always more effective when combined with other skin lightening agents.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is another popular ingredient you'll find on the label of a lot of creams for melasma. It's a form of vitamin B3 (niacin) and was originally created for the treatment of pellagra. It helps the skin in a number of ways besides just lightening dark patches on the face.

Some of the benefits niacinamide have on the skin include improving fine lines, strengthening weak skin surfaces, and improving the appearance of pores that are enlarged. As a skin lightening ingredient, niacinamide is very effective at reducing hyperpigentation and age spots.

Unlike the other skin lightening agents listed here niacinamide doesn't treat melasma by inhibiting the activity of the tyrosinase enzyme. It works by inhibiting the melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes.

Check out this study on the effect of niacinamide on hyperpigmentation.

Glycoli Acid

Derived from sugar cane, this natural skin lightening agent is part of a group of molecules called Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA).

There are actually five different forms of glycolic acids out there, but the glycolic acid that comes from cane sugar is the most effective when it comes to revealing brighter and lighter skin. It works by exfoliating and removing the dead cells on the outer layer of the skin.

This natural skin lightening agent also helps stimulate more collagen production, increase skin healing, reducing fine lines, reducing wrinkles, and fades away scars on the skin.

Gigawhite

Gigawhite is a very popular ingredient used in a variety of different skin lightening creams for melasma on face. It's often listed as an active ingredient on certain creams because it safely and effectively lightens and evens out skin tone.

It is made by extracting the tyrosinase inhibiting ability from several plants in the Alpine region of Switzerland such as Yarrow, Common Speedwell, Lemon Balm, Mallow, Lady's Mantle, and more.

This combination of plant extracts makes gigawhite a very effective skin lightening agent you should look for in any melasma cream you're interested in using.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has long been used in various skin care products. Also called ascorbic acid, this vitamin helps keep your skin healthy by repairing and preventing dry skin, protecting your skin from pollutin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and keeping your skin looking young.

This vitamin helps llghten your skin by inhibiting the activity of the tyrosinase enzyme. It also helps get rid of melasma by fighting off free radicals because it's a powerful anti-oxidant. Another way vitamin C attacks melasma is by exfoliating and removing dead skin cells that contain melanin.

Removing these dead skin cells results in a smoother, lighter, and brighter skin. As you can see, it is these skin lightening benefits that makes vitamin C a commonly found skin lightening agent in various creams.

Most of the time you'll see some of these skin lightening agents combined with one another to create a much more effective cream.

Harmful Skin Lightening Ingredients

Sometimes the ingredients used in these skin whitening creams will do more harm than good. Some of these ingredients include:

Mercury – This chemical is actually banned by some countries including the United States, but some manufacturers still use it in their cream. It's used as a skin lightening agent because it blocks the production of melanin, but it also is very toxic.

Applying creams that contain mercury regularly allows this harmful chemical to get absorbed into the skin and cause side effects like blurry vision, difficulty walking, and can even cause your vital organs to shut down.

Check the active ingredients in any cream you're interested in using and look for the following aliases:

• Cinnabar
• Mercuric salts
• Calomel
• Mercuris chloride

Another thing to look out for that might let you know there's mercury present is the color of the cream. If the cream has a grey color to it then it might be contaminated with a good amount of mercury in it.

If the instructions on the cream tell you not to bring into contact with gold or silver it might be another red flag that it contains a lot of mercury.

Steroids –Steroids can be very dangerous if used incorrectly. They lighten the skin by slowing down the skin cell turnover rate thus reducing the amount of melanocytes in your skin.

It also works by constricting your blood vessels so that blood circulation to your skin is reduced, thus leaving you with whiter skin. Lightening your skin is a side effect of steroids, which is why they can cause a lot of harmful side effects when used incorrectly.

Moreover, the skin lightening effect they have is usually very brief and in order to maintain the whitened skin you'll need to use it for a long time period.

Long term use of steroids as a skin whitener can cause various side effects such as thinning of the skin, face swelling, excessive weight gain, stretch marks, wrinkles, high blood pressure, depression, and more.

For these reasons use caution and consult with your dermatologist thoroughly before you use any cream that contains steroids as an active ingredient.

Parabens –Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives in various skin care products. The reason they're used is because they help prevent bacteria, fungus, and other unwanted substances from developing in your favorite cream.

The reason you want to avoid hyperpigmentation creams that contain parabens is because they can cause breast cancer, excessive estrogenic activity, speed up aging of the skin, and cause other serious problems.

Some paraben names you should look out for include methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben. If you see any of these listed as an ingredient in any cream you want to use for melasma run away from it.

Using Your Melasma Cream

How you use the creams will vary depending on the product, but for the most part there is a general way to use them. Below you'll find some tips for using these creams to get rid of your melasma:

• Use a Q-tip to apply the cream on the affected spots on your face. If you use your finger you run the risk of smearing the cream outside the actual hyperpigmentation spots on your skin.
• Only apply the cream on the affected areas to avoid bleaching the surrounding skin. Try not to get the cream into your eyes or mouth.
• Always wash your hands and face properly before applying the cream on your face.
• Always use sunscreen along with whatever cream you decide to use. The skin lightening agents in some of these creams can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Along with wearing a good sunscreen make sure you're wearing clothes that help protect you better from the sun.
• Always make sure you read the manufacturer's instructions before you begin using any cream.

Pre-Cautions

The most common question we get about creams for melasma is how do you know if it's working? This is an important question because you want to know the product you've chosen is really making a difference.

In some cases the cream can begin working in as little as a week or two. However, most of the time it will take at least 4 weeks of consistently applying the cream to see any noticeable difference. If you've been using a cream for about a month and you still don't see any improvement then discontinue using it and give something else a try.

When you first begin using a cream to get rid of your melasma it's a good idea to do a test run or patch test first. You want to make sure that your skin isn't allergic to any of the ingredients.

So apply a small amount of the cream on the affected area and wait a day or two for any signs of irritation, inflammation, or other side effects.  If you do notice any irritation in your skin discontinue using the product.

Make sure whatever melasma cream you use works for your type of skin. Don't abuse the cream you're using or it can cause blisters and other skin problems to develop.

Always make sure the cream you're thinking about using doesn't contain any mercury. The FDA has already warned users to stay away from any skin care products that contain mercury as an active ingredient and for good reason.

Mercury is a very toxic agent that can cause various skin problems such as irritation, cancer, and more. If you're pregnant that's more than enough reason not to apply any cream with mercury in it, as it can pass through your skin and affect your unborn baby.

Even though the FDA has already banned mercury as an active ingredient in skin lightening creams, some creams made outside the United States might have mercury as an active ingredient. So if you live in the U.S. and decide to order your cream over seas then make sure it doesn't contain mercury.

If you're not sure what cream is good for your skin type go and see a dermatologist who will be able to prescribe you with the best cream for your skin type.

Conclusion

Ladies, please make sure you're you're protecting your new skin with at least an SPF 30 sunscreen each day. With any skin lightening cream you decide to try your skin is going to be extra sensitive to sunlight.

If you wish to keep your skin free of melasma forever you're going to have to make sunscreen a part of your daily routine.

It's also important to mention that with any of these creams you use your melasma will usually come back once you stop using them. This is why it's important to treat this problem in various ways such as eating the right foods for melasma to correct the problem from the inside out, and trying different natural remedies for melasma that have been proven to work.
