@esmeraldarivera817: Melasma journey! After, turning 40 I noticed brown spots here and there but I thought it would go away. Since, after giving birth to my 2nd child it went away. It didn’t go away this time it was only getting worse. I did notice in 2024, it worsen and fast. I did all and any over the counter products you can think of and nothing worked. I did use cosmelan which is a chemical peel you do on yourself which help lighten them but it never went away. Finally, this year 2025 I went to the dermatologist in August and was prescribed medication. That instantly worked and I’m still taking them. This is amazing and I’m so happy!
