Re: dark under eye circles and pigmentation around mouth
Hey, this might be a bit late…but inshAllah someone else can benefit from it! 
I’ve got the same issue with the hyperpigmentation around my mouth and have been using a cream called Meladerm by Civant SkinCare for the past 5 weeks. This area is about 4-5 shades darker than the rest of my face, and I’ve always used concealer and foundation to cover it up. My makeup blends in flawlessly now and when I look at my skin in the magnifying mirror, I can see that the pigmentation is definitely breaking up. ;The outer edges of the discolouration have blended in with my skin tone and I am very pleased with the results so far!;Allhumdulah, I’m noticing changes with the Meladerm…although it is gradual and requires you to follow a diligent skincare routine ( X2 daily exfoliating cleanser, SPF 45, x2 day application..etc.).
The company recommends using the whole set (face wash, toner..etc.), and I will be ordering a full set to see if that accelerates the results, since the toner contains licorice extract and glyocolic acid. The price for the 4-piece set is $114 CND; the 50mL bottle of Meladerm cream on its own is $50 CND…it’s a bit pricey but worth the results!
On a side note:I’ve used many, many, many home remedies for this (including lemon juice, honey+;cinnamon…etc.) and just find this more convenient and effective! I will post again at the 3-month mark to let you know if I’ve achieved full results by then…(inshAllah!!)
Also, make sure you buy the real thing; They only sell it through the Civant website, so anything you find elsewhere is a scam.
And just to summarize (for anyone who’s to lazy to read the full paragraphs!):
PROS:
- Effective..it’s def. working
- Nice smell
- Awesome airless dispensing
- light feel (non-greasy)
- No hydroquinine, no parabens
- No breakouts (so far)
CONS:
- Price! (Wish it was cheaper)
- Gradual change..Sometimes too slow for an impatient person like me
- Requires a diligent skincare routine, including an exfoliating cleanser (I’m using Dark Angels by Lush)
- Must use SPF 45 or higher and avoid sun exposure as much as possible (I love my sun!)
Has anyone else used Meladerm for facial hyperpigmentation issues?
