Whats the best face cream for pregnancy pigmentation?
Question:
Answers:
This problem actually has a name. It is called Melasma. I have sun spots and freckles from tanning. And have a dime sized spot with a smudged line look to it. This is from taking BC pills for years. You get this pigmentation from hormones. That's why a lot of people develop this with pregnancy. It is also called "The mask of Pregnancy". Some people have had luck with over the counter and high end products with hydroquinone and retinoids. But most people end up getting prescription strength Retin A and/or hydroquinone creams such as Renova or Tri Luma. I have used Alpha Hydroxy products and Neutragena Intensive care with some fading results. I am now trying Green Cream and MaMa Lotion. (bought from www.cosmeticville.com) I am seeing results in my pores, fine lines (I'm 43) and some fading after one week. I am going to try taking a MSM supplement also. Sunscreen is VERY important as the sun makes the areas darker. Even a little sun! There is a lot of info. on the web about Melasma. Beware of all the product adds! Derm doctor . com has great message boards and www.makeupalley has product reviews and skin boards. Good luck! I hope this helps :)
