Susan, I have watched your videos for many years, but never comment. I just wanted to let you know that I love you, your content, and your continuous transparency and walking us through procedures, pros, cons, etc. Have a great day!
Hi Susan, thanks for sharing your experience! I'd like to share mine as well:). Cosmelan 2 was CRAZY effective for me! And I tried a lot of products and procedures for my hyperpigmentation. But, instead of using it with the cosmelan 1, I combined it with a TCA peel. I used the TCA peel to get rid of the hyperpigmentation, which worked, and the Cosmelan 2 to prevent my hyperpigmentation from coming back. That worked, it didn't came back! And that was usually my problem. It came right back after a (strong) procedure, or procedures and products weren't strong enough. So glad it worked!
its very good to see that you actually did it properly this time and used the products that they gave for after care as opposed to your video from 3 years ago when you actually have had a cosmelan peel in office before but realluy just used your own products the whole time.
Melasma is tough like acne scars we want this stuff gone. You are a brave soul going through these steps. I simply don't have the patience for all these steps or the time for multiple applications through the day. I really love your products, appreciate your honest, thoughtful, and educational content. There are so so many products on the market these days. What's most important to me is a routine I can do thats effective with a few extra things weekly or monthly to spice it up.
Susan, i did the cosmelan in office procedure and was given the home pack for 30 days. The cosmelan 2 lightens the skin like nothing else. I did have some very mild peeling. The moisturisinf balm thought was pretty irritating on my skin which i found very weird. My melasma was almost conpletely gone. I used my SPF every single day, multiple times. I dont know if it is because the sun is different in different places over the world, but i got my treatment done in india which is hot and humid. When i came back to the states, my melasma has sort of started showing up again😢 im planning to start my cosmelan 2 again as targetted treatment.
Susan , you are the reason my skin looks amazing & I get so many compliments on it ! You’re the reason I started all these facials , Microneedeling & Botox ! I love your skincare & body care ! Thank you for being such an inspiration 🥰😘😍
I've done TCA, Jessners & Mandelic peels for a couple of years. I think it is a good idea to tell viewers that you do need to cleanse, preferably double cleanse before using the degreaser. I'm interested in trying the Cosmelan. Great video
Hi Susan! I also have stubborn Melasma. Tried almost everything! I even did fat grafting on the face & my plastic surgeon said that it can help my Melsama, but unfortunately, it didn't. I also did oral tranexamic acid, didn't do to much too... I was using an Omnilux led mask & after using it consistently for 3 years, my Omnilux just stopped turning on. I was waiting for it to go on sale so I didn't use an led mask for a couple of months. My melasma lightened up! I guess since the mask sits on my face, there's some heat generated. Dr Shereen Idris has been saying to stay away from led mask as it can generate heat & flare up Melasma.
You have beautiful skin. I did not notice a difference and I appreciate your honesty. I think the Dr's office peel will make more of a difference. It's also very expensive for an at home peel if someone is only noticing a small difference for the end result. Thank you
So glad I stumbled across your vid. I did the in office peel about 1.5 years ago and it was intense but amazing. Completely changed my skin and got rid of all the melasma. Got the home version for this time around because I didn’t have time to go in and do the whole thing. I’m shocked it’s been two days and my face has hardly even gotten red! So disappointing because I paid $850 for the office version and $850 for the at home version. Thought I just did it wrong, but feel better knowing I’m not the only one with these results!
Thanks for doing this review! I did the Cosmelan MD version and it was intense. I’ve wondered about doing the home version but now see it probably would be underwhelming for me. ❤
Hi Susan! I love your channel. I recently subscribed to your channel! (Your channel has been helping me a lot) I just applied Cosmelan 1 home kit today. My question is, did you put regular lotion and sunscreen over the Cosmelan2? I didn't get that.... Did the pillow case get dirty from the Cosmelan2?
I am a licensed esthetician and did the hydroquinone free peel as well. Very disappointed as it is not much of a price difference for the MD. Wish they would make it clear that you will not see results anywhere close to the real deal.
Hi Susan! Am your new subscriber here and happened to watch this video accidentally, which caught my curiosity! Have melasma/hyperpigmentation too on my face and tried a lot of procedures/treatments & products already, but none of them worked! May I know the link where I can buy your cosmelan HomeKit (Mesoestetic)? Btw, am from Canada. Thanks & hoping for your quick response! 🥰
I started having melasma since I was 18 years old due to sun exposure and no sunscreen you know when you’re young you don’t care much, it was barely noticeable but when I got married and had my first pregnancy then it got really bad entire face no matter what I did or used nothing worked I deal with it until menopause with the change of hormones my face cleared up but menopause terrible 😂😂
@@twinstars128 I asked because I have very sensitive skin and can't wash my face with a cleanser twice a day. If I use even a tiny bit of vaseline or Cerave ointment I have to the following day
Thanks for sharing. Darn, I had higher hopes about this. Also, I could have sworn you had the actual in office peel done before. I thought I saw a video of yours about it.
Thank you Susan for sharing your Cosmelan at Home Tx. You are so brave. I would be fearful of it burning my face and leading to worse problems. I am searching for a top rated neuro dermatologist to do in office Tx for my horrible hyperpigmentation from yrs of abusing Tanning beds and Sun bathing. Also getting ready to go in for consultation for Blephroplasty. My Rt eye lid ove night dropped putting pressure on my Rt eye interfering with my vision. It literally happened over night. 😢. Would love to have a face lift, but just cannot afford it.
Curious if you have used the PRX peel and if you liked it? The medi spa I go to uses it but it’s quite expensive and I don’t know anyone who has done this yet.
Does anyone have preference for micro needling vs chemical peel? I may have a few Cara $ for light laser treatment. I’m hesitant as it’s a gift from my sister for Groupon. Of course, I’m researching the companies, the reviews and practitioners. Of course an expensive derm appt would help but I’ve been diagnosed with serious spinal disease and can’t afford right now.
lol i might be in the minority here but I think your skin looks great after the peel! i can see a difference but its not a dramatic one since u didnt have an excessive amt of hyperpigmentation before you started :)
Appreciate you sharing your journey Susan! Q: what’s your thoughts on Skin Laundry laser treatments? I got my 1st one yesterday and curious how it differs from clear & brilliant?
Hi! Clear + Brilliant is a much stronger and effective treatment. Skin laundry can be done much more often because it’s gentle. I’m not sure I’m sold on the concept of I’m being honest.
@@MixedmakeupTY for the feedback! As someone with deeper skin tone I’ve been SO scared of laser but now that I’m 40 I want to work on my pores, hyperpigmentation and boosting collagen. Whats your POV on Microneedling?
for all with oily skin, DON'T USE NAIL POLISH REMOVER FOR YOUR FACE NOW.!!!!! Aceton and alcohol will remove oil, thats true but your skin needs a certain amount of oil and will be massively angry if you remove all of it.
Susan, I have watched your videos for many years, but never comment. I just wanted to let you know that I love you, your content, and your continuous transparency and walking us through procedures, pros, cons, etc. Have a great day!
Glad the videos are helpful! Thank you for watching.
Even if it is melasma it still looks like freckles to me and freckles are very charming and lovely in my opinion 😊

MORE PEOPLE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS!! IT LITERALLY GAVE ME MELASMA/HYPERPIGMENTATION...
Ya it’s a pass for me. From what I know even the take home isn’t a cheap treatment. I get better results from an at home Jessner peel
You have beautiful skin. I did not notice a difference and I appreciate your honesty. I think the Dr's office peel will make more of a difference. It's also very expensive for an at home peel if someone is only noticing a small difference for the end result. Thank you
Thank you so much for documenting this and being honest about, do it full force or don’t bother. ❤

Didn’t you do Cosmelan like a year ago?
Thank you for your honest opinion 😊

Would love if you could do a review for the full line of products from ROA Skincare!

Hi Susan! Does the prequel ointment sit on top of the skin like Vaseline?
Yes but it’s lighter in texture so it doesn’t feel greasy
@@Mixedmakeup thanks! 🙃
It’s light and i also just got the gel version which is really nice and light.

I haven’t tried!
If you get the opportunity, maybe be the guinea pig for us 🤣 I am always entertained by your testing videos.
wow I peeled so much when I did it

All these people who were offended made me subscribe. I’m going to like you because everyone was trying to team up against you.
lol i might be in the minority here but I think your skin looks great after the peel! i can see a difference but its not a dramatic one since u didnt have an excessive amt of hyperpigmentation before you started :)
You used way too much of the Cosmelan 2. A pea size for the whole face doesn’t stain you brown.
I mix a pea size with the moisturizer and apply. That way, it spreads smoothly.
You need to give it way more time
Thanks for this. Very informative and interesting.
Thanks for watching! Glad it was informative.
Can you please look into and do a video on the BioRePeel peel? I would love to know if it is worth the $200+ per peel for melasma.
Same!
3 times a day for a month!!???
Edit: oh okay, thinly 😅

Oh no! That is dissapointing to hear! 😮
Susan u didnt follow proper protocol
for all with oily skin, DON'T USE NAIL POLISH REMOVER FOR YOUR FACE NOW.!!!!! Aceton and alcohol will remove oil, thats true but your skin needs a certain amount of oil and will be massively angry if you remove all of it.
Are you a Disney adult?
Also, this peel is just too much. So impractical for real life. This peel is for novelty seeking billionaires who have Melasma.
You sure love to talk.
Sure do! Guess your PhD helped you figure that out.
