What is melasma?

Melasma is the most common form of hyperpigmentation (also known as ‘chloasma’ or the ‘pregnancy mask’). When melanin-producing cells are over-stimulated, this can lead to brown or grey patches on the skin. The condition is strongly linked to genetics, UV light and hormones, and usually first occurs between the ages of 30-40.

“I love the personalised service & for a great price. I have been really impressed with the product - my skin looks great. It was easy to do the consultation & the retinol cream has been a pleasure to use. It started on a lower % of 0.25 & is now 0.5. Fantastic.”

“Amazing service. Brilliant product that I used to pay hundreds of pounds for and amazing results. Tailored to my own skin problems and I can’t recommend Dermatica enough. Easy to cancel if you’re not happy but I guarantee you will be so pleased with the results you will carry on just as I have 😊😊”

“Having tried many products before to help with my skin I can honestly say that I have been very impressed with Dermatica...my skin is probably the best it has been in years. Getting the formula was simple enough and the results speak for themselves. Worth every penny.”

“My skin has been the best it's ever been since I was a teenager my pigmentation has significantly cleared and acne has been kept at bay. I will never use anything other than dermatica I am so relieved I found this brand and have recommended to others. I receive compliments on how good my skin looks it's taken years off me.”

“I am such a fan of Dermatica and their service. Very easy to manage your subscription but as someone with incredibly problematic skin (who last week got complimented by a stranger on it!) I wouldn't be without it. I truly believe personalised skincare offers so much more than all the creams and lotions you can buy OTC.”

“The initial process of having the assessment and getting my personalized formula was so fast. Shortly after I received my products which I love so much and it has only been 2 weeks. My major skin concern was uneven dull skin tone, enlarged pores and fine lines. My skin is so glowing like it has never been before! It just looks so healthy and feels so soft. I had a few acne marks which are now faded.”

“Dermatica has completely revolutionised my skin care. I am now 63 but my skin has never looked so good or been so healthy. My monthly delivery has become a part of my life now and I will continue for as long as I am able. The service is also second to none. Any questions I've submitted have always been answered promptly and without fuss. I would highly recommend Dermatica to anyone who cares about looking their best for as long as possible.”

“I have PCOS and have struggled with acne for over 10 years, and have tried what feels like every acne medication available. My skin has never been better than while using my personalized Dermatica treatment, and I'm so happy! The subscription service is also very convenient, so I never have to worry about running out or having to go to the pharmacy for it.”

“Love Dermatica. My skin is bright and the large pores and blackheads on my nose have gone. I've been using it for 6 months with Dermatica controlling the strength of the creams supplied to suit. I must say it has saved me a fortune on buying stuff to try and it not working and I can now use basic cleanser and moisturiser.”

Melasma FAQs

What else can I do to help with melasma?
There are many underlying factors to melasma, such as hormonal changes from pregnancy or hormone treatment, as well as sun exposure. People with darker skin are also more prone to the condition because their skin contains more melanin. While it might not be possible to avoid normal hormonal fluctuations, it's recommended that you talk to your doctor to check if a hormonal imbalance could be the cause.

Using a Dermatica personalised formula will help reduce the appearance of melasma, but other treatments may be required too. Avoiding direct sunlight and applying sun protection frequently will also help to improve the appearance.
What to expect from treatment
When you first start using a topical treatment, you may notice your skin becoming flaky and slightly swollen. The treatments can also make your skin feel dry and tight as well as give you a burning, itching or stinging sensation. If you experience the above reaction, please do not worry, this is a normal response when starting treatment. To allow your skin to get used to your treatment, we recommend sticking to a simple skincare routine and applying a small amount at first to build up your tolerance. It's also OK to take rest days from treatment in between, before building up gradually to daily use. Applying a small amount of moisturiser to the skin before applying treatment, and after, can also help reduce side effects while still delivering the same great results.
