In reply to Pam | The Beauty Conservator. Thanks Pam! Way too controversial, I agree! Indeed, Vitamin C is a great ally for our skin, I like how you called it! Happy Friday beautiful Xx

Great post! I agree with your philosophy, hydroquinone is too controversial. I’m glad you are using Vitamin C, it’s a great ally for pigmentation. Summer is just not a good time to try to lighten. Good luck!

Thanks Robin! I think HQ can work but I did not want to risk it, long term use is the problem it. Once you understand your skin, it makes it so much easier to have the correct products right?
Glad you like the photos, they are taken in Sardinia, specifically Tahiti Beach – love that place Xx

Hi, this is a great post Adri, I could not agree more with you. I have my dark spots, which are due to sun sensitivity after topical antibiotics around 20 years now and I see that after all these years. I’ve given up the fight long time ago and just want to keep them at the same level. My routine because of the dark spots is almost the same as yours, but I put two or three layers of SPF, afraid that I’ll miss a place without any SPF.

Very informative post that I think anybody could benefit from — not just those with melasma. I’m glad you’re not using HQ, though I don’t think it’s bad if it works for someone — as you say, only you can know what’s right for you.

That water/beach shot is out of this world. Almost unreal!
