Your attitude toward the process is so refreshing ❤️
Thank you for your videos and your positive attitude. I know it's frustrating having melasma but there is no reason to be mean to someone who is trying to help. Thank you again!!!
Thank you four sharing your experience.
Thank you for a great and honest review 👍🏼
Wow pretty good results! 🤩
Thank you for your honest review
Thank you for this
You’re so pretty, you kind of give me a Audrey hepburn vibe
Excellent review portrayed with honesty and sincerity, while acknowledging results will vary depending on the individual. This review is fair to the Manufacturer and the general public,
THANK YOU!
Thank you for your information and responses. I am unable to use hydroquinone, and Vitamin C is doing nothing.
I just bought the 5% cysteamine cream by APC. It’s used the same way as Cyspera. Wish me luck! !!🙏🏼
Wishing you luck and good results!
Hi, Did the APC work? ☺️ I’m very curious
@@DineshSingh-is9gw I am seeing results. I’ve been using it 1 month now and my melasma did fade one shade.
Did it work for PIH?
@@BB-jl6qj yes! I rid my pih in about 4 weeks!
I'm using Cyspera on the side of my face right now in conjunction with another fade cream that I found on Instagram. I see as you say slow progress but progress! Under my nose it smells so I stopped.
Thanks for sharing. Curious, what fade cream did you find on IG? Do you recommend?
I am using it too, most of the time upto 30min, esthetician said ok; saw good results, it does work and fades melasma, I did not do 16 weeks, I'm on and off, can not stand the smell! I'm using on the needed spots now, at first daily on whole face for 3 or so weeks. I'm not planning on re buying it either, Im thinking to try "mussely"(?) after the Cyspera tube is empty. Also, I'm using "Brightalive" by Zein Obagi to keep melasma under control, esthetician said its very helpful for maintenance and to keep it from re appearing, will see in few month, or in the Summer! Just started whole experiment in September 2020. I also did IPL, small brown spots are gone on cheeks, nose... my melasma mostly on forehead... I'm big on sunscreen!!! Live in WA so did not use it today🤫, rain all day!
Thank u for sharing ur experience! U r very pretty and classy!
Margaret, sounds like we had some similar results with the Cyspera. The smell did not bother me, but I only left it on for 15 minutes, LOL. I’m going to look into the Brightalive product. Maintenance is key especially after the time and money invested with IPL. I’m encouraged that you had good results with it. And lately I have been hearing more and more about Musely. I would love to hear about your experience and which spot cream formulation you use. Thanks for all the info about your skincare and treatments....and kind words!
i’ve used Musley..helps but melasma comes back with a vengeance and you have to continue use if you want it to stay away but being on hydroquinone for too long isn’t good for the skin
Margaret O any updates about brightalive please??
Hi Amy, thanks for the video showing us your result using Cyspera cream. Your skin looks great 👍🏻.
May I know what is the color of the Cyspera cream? Is it the cream in white or skin tint color or transparent color?
Is the cream oily cause I have got oily skin?
So it is like a 15 min mask before washing it off? Is it easy to wash off?
Thanks and hope to hear from you!
Hi Akina. Cyspera cream is white and goes onto the skin like a cream. It does not have a typical mask feel to it, but it is washed off after 15 minutes. And it easily washes off with a gentle cleanser. The cream does not feel oily. I did not find any information about this product that indicates it is not recommended for oily skin. I hope this helps. Thank you for your question/comment.
I spent sooo much money on Cyspera and saw absolutely no results 😰 I have medium brown skin it didn't even help with post acne brown spots. So upsetting.
Amna, I hear you! It can be so frustrating, especially when the product is expensive. Have you had better results with other products? Like I mentioned in this video, I had better results with Hydroquinone Tretinoin compound cream. Requires a prescription but is less costly.
If you’re black or a brown person, I wouldn’t recommend hydroquinone for people of darker skin tones because it’s the standard and it works but when you stop using it then the results will revert and pigmentation worsens. Tell me if you find any other products that helped your melasma though
@@Deandrax Research shows Hydroquinone up to 2% is safe for all skin types, including dark skin tones. Higher strengths can be more effective but pose possible greater risk of adverse effects in black skin as you stated. The best bet is to always consult with a dermatologist. The last thing anyone wants is to make melasma worse. For non-hydroquinone products check out a line by a skin pigmentation expert, Dr Wollery-Lloyd called Specific Beauty. I like the Advanced Dark Spot Corrector Pads. I talk about them in my video “A Few of My Favorite Things”. Thanks for your comment!
Have you found anything that works? I’m desperate ☹️ haven’t really stuck to anything
@@adddriiiisaaaa5840 Sunscreen and sun avoidance measures are your best bet. And I encourage you to have your melasma evaluated by a dermatology provider and review the treatments you have tried so far. Many of the topical non-hydroquinone options, like Tranexamic acid, Alpha Arbutin, and Azelaic acid require time and patience
Why not continue for another 16 with the full protocol? There was a good lifting of color in some spots. I encourage you to continue.
Thank you Carla. I may give it another try at some point.
I have dark brown skin..I used cyspera for at least 5 months or more..I did see my melasma start to fade slightly but not my post acne marks....unfortunately...that was short lived bc my melasma returned right after that ..even though I was still using the product..
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can be just as frustrating to treat as melasma. I too, did not see much improvement during the Cyspera maintenance phase. My trials of non-hydroquinone skincare products for melasma continue...check out my latest video on Tranexamic acid and soon one on Alpha Arbuin.
How long does one tube of cyspera last for the 16-week induction phase vs the maintenance phase?
Hi Abiona. The tube is 1.75 oz. I applied a thin layer to the sides of the face and upper lip/chin areas. For, me the tube was more than enough for the induction phase with plenty of remaining product to continue the maintenance phase for another 8 weeks. I hope this gives you some idea of how long it may last for you. I have used an entire tube for the maintenance phase only.
@@investinyourface Thank you
170$$$$ way expensive
I want to try this for my melasma and a few acne dark marks, but I am very acne prone, so I am quite nervous to try this, partly because of the $$, but mostly because I break out or react to almost everything...
Cyspera is definitely costly. Before making the investment, it would be beneficial to talk with a dermatology provider to see if your skin type and type of hyperpigmentation and or melasma would benefit. Especially if you have not had success with fading using other topical products. I have not been able to find any information to support that it cannot be used if you have oily or acne prone skin. Hope this helps
Do you use only one pump? Don’t want to overuse my new tube!
Great question! I applied to both cheeks and upper lip area. Like you, I did not want to waste one bit. So I actually used partial pumps onto my finger tip for each area. It probably equaled to about one full pump. I felt like I could control it better with little partial pumps. Hope this helps and more importantly, I hope you see great results with this product! :)
I am using cyspera, they have 3 tubes now, they have a neutralizer and boost. I am on my 4th week, still tingles my face. Do you use retinol, vit C with it?those are my other maintenance besides SPF, cleanser and moisturizer
Cyspera claims to be safe to use with other products. If you are concerned about potential irritation, especially with retinol, I would suggest avoiding too many other products during the treatment phase. And of course sunscreen no matter what! Hope the helps
Can you make a video on Murad products?
Is there a specific Murad product you have in mind? I may give the brightening trial kit a go. Thanks for the recommendation!
I get that of course hydroquinone works the best, but isn’t this a good option for when you take a break from the hydroquinone? Otherwise, what do you use during your break?
I agree, Cyspera is a good treatment option while taking a break from hydroquinone or just a non-hydroquinone option in general. I have tried various skin care during breaks from hydroquinone including SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense, and more recently Specific Beauty Advance Dark Spot Corrector pads... mentioned in this video: ruclips.net/video/zVKfpR4v-po/видео.html
What products have worked well for you? Thanks Lisa!
I’ve tried Lytera 2 and think that the cyspera is doing a better job keeping my melasma in check. Not sure yet if it’s reducing my pigment, but I’m happy to keep it in maintenance mode while taking a break from hydroquinone :). I’m still using tretinoin and vitamin C with it.
How many pumps did you use each morning? I've been using Cyspera as a spot treatment but want to switch to full face
I used a little bit more than one full pump, just enough to apply a thin layer to the areas of my melasma...cheeks and upper lip area.
@Ruby Nguyen skinwellness.com/product/cysteamine-cream/
Results??
Thank you so much, do you recommend any of skincuticals products to help 2- have you heard of musely cream for melasma?3- do you have any idea about if hydrofacial can be safe to do? Sorry for too many questions 🌹
Rita, thank you for your questions! 1. I am a big fan of SkinCeuticals. The formulations are based on research and address specific skin conditions including hyperpigmentation. I recommend Discoloration Defense. Check out their website for the ingredients and science behind it. 2. I do not have experience with Musely. But I have read about their online dermatologist service and the 4 formulations of their spot cream. Telemedicine is so common now and I do not have a problem with online dermatology care, but Musely hydroquinone concentrations are as high as 12%! I am hesitant to get behind high concentrations without oversight of an in-person dermatologist and even then, my personal maximum is 6%. Studies have shown, high concentrations of hydroquinone increase the risks of rebound hyperpigmentation. 3. Hydrafacial has been used to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots. I cannot find any research to support its effectiveness on melasma. Like you, my concern would be the potential of making my melasma worse. Best bet is to consult a provider who performs Hydrafacials and who also has expertise in melasma. Hope this helps :)
@@investinyourface Thank you so much, I know that musely has also non HQ formula! And do you still use skincuticals phloretin vitamin c??
@@ritasharqawi7367 Yes, it looks like a good formulation of non-hydroquinone ingredients and definitely worth a try.
And yes, I do recommend SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF. More recently I have been using a different Vitamin C serum that I talk about in my recent Costco video. It is DERMAdoctor Kakadu C 20% Vitamin C. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/4RPvsuKXlUU/видео.html Thanks!
Musely dont used 🤮 😭 I have spots in may face
I got melasma. from HRT! I had to go off it!
Changes in hormones with oral contraceptives, pregnancy, and menopause can also result in melasma. I hope it starts to fade now that you are off the HRT
Why does it look like your skin overall got lighter. I'm worried about losing all color on my face while trying to get rid of the patches of brown.
My overall skin tone did not get lighter. The lighting or makeup may have given that appearance. Cyspera instructions for application are to apply to the whole face and not just the dark areas you want to fade. This is to improve the overall skin tone and to target the pigmented areas. I hope this helps
Have you or anyone tried Musely? If yes, what is your opinion?
4/2022...using it now. So far so good and I plan to post an update video soon.
Where can I get hydroquinone cream without a prescription??. Thanks
In the US, it is available only by prescription
@@investinyourface thanks
I just ordered this. How much do you use?
Depends on how you plan to use it. I applied a thin layer to the areas of my melasma only but it can be applied to the whole face. I controlled the amount with partial pumps but it probably equaled to about one full pump to cover the areas (both cheeks and upper lip). I hope you have a good result! :)
@@investinyourface Thanks. I plan to use it on my whole face. I just got it but one pump seems very light for my whole face.
Hey please update your results after every one week🤩🤩
@@lubnan08 any updates please
Does pigmentation return after leaving the cream?
The pigmentation of melasma patches can darken at anytime during or after any treatment from common triggers such as sun exposure and heat. Melasma is chronic and recurring. It will likely return if a treatment is stopped especially if a maintenance plan is not used to maintain the fading. It can be frustrating, but melasma can be successfully managed by finding what works for you. Cyspera is a good non-hydroquinone option to try.
Even if it was not melasma, but rather normal spots due to the use of hydroquinone creams and caused adverse results and dark spots؟
@@turkikr898 Hard to say if your dark spots would fade with Cyspera or that the dark spots would not return after fading once the cream is stopped. Cyspera has been proven to be a safe and effective depigmenting ingredient, but it is always best to consult with a dermatology provider if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks.
Have you tried any chemical peels? I'm investigating Cosmelan. Have you heard of it?
I have not tried chemical peels. Other than the PiQ0-4 laser a while back, I have been treating my melasma with skin care. There are so many skin care options available that can be effective and also low risk. Please let me know if you try Cosmelan. I am intrigued about the results, not so much about the $$$. Here is an excellent blog about Cosmelan: www.skinbyblair.com/blog/2020/6/21/my-cosmelan-depigmentation-treatment
I did cosmelan peel and it gave me the best skin ever however the pigmentation remain . Means, it has dramatically improved my skin texture and collagen on my face, good for anti aging.
@@justsherree2457 I also did the cosmelan and my skin looked amazing for two weeks. It then went back to the same as before the peel 😔😰
@@orozcoaj69 same thing happened to me 😭
I humbly disagree, I see a significant improvement.
I would definitely continue with the ingredient cysteamine. There are more affordable options on the market now.
As well as your other pigment inhibitors.
Hope you don’t mind the feedback from a fellow melasma sufferer.
I appreciate your feedback. I will consider giving it another go at some point. Is there an affordable cysteamine product you recommend?
@@investinyourface Let me find the names, one is only 20 dollars cheaper I think , but the other is only $50 in comparison to the nearly $170.
The pores look smaller.
🌹👌
Is it ok for pregnant?
No. Cyspera / Cysteamine is NOT approved for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Be sure to talk with your OB doctor about pregnancy safe skincare.
Is this cream works for real
You cute
Are you a md?
I'm a RN
I did not have great results with this product. It actually made it darker.
No! I hate that it made your melasma darker. Did you experience significant irritation with this product? Melasma is stubborn and there are so many factors that can affect results.
@@investinyourface I had a Moxi laser procedure that really helped me but, I used the Cyspera and it started turning darker, then they changed me to triluma and hydroquinone and it feels like it’s gotten worse. I had another Moxi and it helped but, it’s gone back to dark again. I really try to limit my time outside in the sun. I wear sunscreen and reapply. So I’m just not sure what’s happening. I’m just super sad.
@@Slimness33 I do not have personal experience with Moxi laser and it can provide good results. But depending on skin phototype, the heat from some lasers can cause rebound hyperpigmentation. And this can be a delayed response. I suggest talking with your dermatology provider. How did your melasma respond to topical treatments prior to the Moxi laser? Lasers are expensive and often require a series, only to have the melasma patches return after fading. Again, talk with your derm about options and together, come up with a treatment plan that you feel good about for the best realistic outcome for you.
I’m about to start treatment with cyspera. I really thought that by now scientists, Drs etc would have found a way of completely curing this awful condition. They all say we are so advanced etc etc…. But I don’t know if I truly believe them as they are making billions from ppl who suffer from all sorts of things melasma is just one of the most expensive and time consuming on the list not to mention how it really hurts when something doesn’t work.😞😞😞😞
Melasma is very hard to treat it’s not a conspiracy lol
Don’t work
Didn’t work and smelled horrible
It’s very very expensive ... ohh no $$$$$$$
Joan, I can't disagree. $169 for 1.75 oz. is costly. For me the product lasted for the initial 16 weeks of treatment then another approximate 8 weeks of maintenance. So breaking it down, about $28 per month, seems less painful. But the upfront cost...$$$. And with no guarantee of results. I hear what you're saying...
@@investinyourface yes ty
