Your skin looks amazing and I love your hair. So true who you go to. Those patches are interesting, they need one for the chest. Take care Trina, Karen
Your skin looks incredible! I have melasma too so thanks to this I am booking my Peel next month. I would have never heard of this without this video thank you ❤
I find it odd that their products have a fragrance in them. That is exactly what the skin does not need when doing a peel. The company should look into this and make a change
Such beautiful results. I have pigmentation as well and will look into this peel. I always had freckling, but since using an LED device my pigmentation worsened. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Trina. I looked up cosmelan peels by me & there are a couple of places that offer Enlighten. The process looks almost similar to Cosmelan but I have to do more research. Have you heard of Enlighten? Your results are amazing. I want to do this. Yes. Devices do not help. I have tried many as well as HQ. I always wear hats & sunscreen but getting rid of certain spots is totally impossible
I have tried Musely hydroquinone and posted a video here on RUclips if you want to see that the results were nowhere near as good as this Cosmelan peel. This peel is the best thing I’ve ever tried for my melasma. I don’t see why you couldn’t get it on your chest and shoulders - but I think it would be really hard to apply the home peel in those areas for the whole time during the colder months. The peel is orange and would rub off and stain your clothes. I would ask the professional about this to see what they say.
Hi I just received my first treatment 4 days ago. The area around my mouth and nose is is sensitive but I’m braving it out. Your skin looks great. I plan on being 100 % compliant. I go back in one month for second application. Did you apply before bed and sleep with it? That’s the only thing I forgot to ask. I am sleeping with it. I ordered the REN balm just now. Ty for everything. I have sunspots all over. No melisma. I’m excited 😂 it does hurt when I wash and apply for about 15 minutes
It was so long ago and I followed the instructions exactly, and I do recall wearing the home peel at night and using a towel to make sure I didn't ruin my pillowcases. It's worth it. Stick with it ! The results are incredible. Get a sun shield if you can from bluestone. it makes a huge difference.
I remember you saying in another video that you used the Lyma laser every day for 3 months and then several times a week for maintenance. Hyperpigmentation is one of my issues. Did Lyma help with that issue at all? I have used the laser every day for an hour at least for over 2 months and so far, no change. I also have wrinkles, which you do not have. I enjoy watching your videos.
I used the Lyma e ery single day from November 2020 to the end of 2021. I got it as soon as it was released here in the UK. Literally zero results. Lovely to use, but useless.
Thanks so much for the video! It is so helpful! I was curious since you received two professional applications (30 days apart), does it mean you purchased two packs of cosmelan systems? Or was one jar of cosmelan 1 enough for both applications? The local beauty place I went to told me their cosmelan treatment only consists of one office visit and then I will need to do the rest on my own, which means they won’t even do a spot treatment after the initial application.
You get only one home kit for the entire process. I would find a place that offers 2 professional peels. Both places I went offered this, so I thought it was the norm.
Hi Trina I have everything you have but I’m not owning it , just trying to get rid of it 🤷🏽♀️… so I looked up the peel and it’s being sold for about 500$ ,. In your opinion is it best to go to to an esthetician? Or could I do this myself?
@bbag7378 But how are they selling to you without verifying your professional license? I would NOT recommend doing this. You could damage your skin. This peel is strong!
We went to our esthetician place, got to talking about melasma and they mention getting Cosmelan. She told us they have a client who found this whole kit online and it was legit!! So I know you can buy this kit for at home (I've heard eBay) but you do have to be careful thru who you buy it from as some will have step 1 cream but others will only have step 2 cream and the price is about what your saying ($500). There are RUclips videos from estheticians who show how to do this at home. There are also videos on RUclips of people who have bought the kit to do at home. You just have to really research it or just go to a professional its really up to you. Good Luck.
I was surprised when you mentioned the steps with a professional because when I saw the name Cosmelan, I Google it, before watching the video. I saw one kit for $400
LED is supposed to help with pigmentation and it does help for my skin. Some people report that NIR and blue light flares their pigmentation, but this has not been the case for me. You'll have to do some testing on your skin to find out what works best for you. Some people like masks like the Maysama pulsed one that allows you to turn on/off red, NIR, and blue.
Does sunscreen goes always with one wash. Can we double cleanse. Can you recommend any cleaning oils or cleansing balms that can be used with cosmelan recovery. Can you also suggest good face wash to be used during cosmelan heeling.
Yes, it's very important to thoroughly remove your sunscreen every night for healthy skin. All my skincare recommendations are on my ShopMy page: shopmy.us/trinaalbus
Have you seen Susan Yara’s cosmelan peel video this past week? I’m so confused about the 30 days of Step 2 …how brown/orange the peel is and how in the world you can apply it throughout the day and look even halfway normal!? I’m usually really good about “after care” but I could never use that Step 2! Did you thin it out with cream or just dealt with it?
I didn’t see her video. I didn’t have any issues with my face looking orange. Maybe because it also looked like a glazed donut and I was wearing a shield outside? I don’t remember it being an issue at all
Yes BUT I’m on steady hormones in perimenopause so not sure mine fluctuate much? I don’t get my period anymore 🤷♀️ really not sure. could be a factor for others though?
Your skin looks beautiful! My question is, for home care, do you put Cosmelan 2 and sunscreen over it during the day? Do you put anything else? Also, does the pillow case get dirty from the Cosmelan2?
Thank you! No, I don’t use anything else - just the Cosmelan 2 and sunscreen. Yes your pillowcase can get dirty so you can put down a towel if needed or change your pillowcase frequently.
It may look like that to you, but if you’re familiar with this peel then you’ll know that the professional strength is really intense and it’s not available over-the-counter. It’s so strong that you need a professional to make sure it’s safe for your skin. They do have at-home versions that are not as strong, but it’s not going to give you the same results.
Gosh the down time seems horrible though. Apply 3x a day for the first 30 days? So you need to stay home and not see anyone for a long time because you can’t wear makeup for quite some time. And I don’t let anyone see me without makeup besides my immediate family and kids obviously. This is depressing. Melasma is debilitating. I wish insurance would cover it especially for hormonal melasma since it’s a medical condition. 😢
I let everyone see me and went about my life normally and wore my shield everywhere. I didn't mind it too much. If you don't want anyone to see you like that, then I agree it would be too hard. Melasma is so rough. :(
@@beautybeyond40 Your results are great. But my melasma is worse than yours. I’ve done 4 treatments of PiQ04 laser and 1 ZO 3 step chemical peel. I wish I had used all that money towards a Cosmelan or Dermelan peel instead as everything I’ve tried has barely touched my melasma. I feel like I’ve wasted all my money. I appreciate you sharing your journey.
I am so confused. These are my real photos and I included them in my video as well - not just the cover photo. Why are you calling BS? I don't understand this comment, but I'm happy to help you in case you missed something here?
Your skin looks INCREDIBLE! Thank you for trusting us, we are so happy to be taking care of your skin!
You look so much younger🌸 since the last time I seen your last video. wow!😮✨
Your skin looks amazing and I love your hair. So true who you go to. Those patches are interesting, they need one for the chest. Take care Trina, Karen
Really beautiful results! It does appear the brand you used sells at least the home kit online.
Your skin looks incredible! I have melasma too so thanks to this I am booking my Peel next month. I would have never heard of this without this video thank you ❤
I'm so happy for you!!! yay!
Hi Tiff how are the results
I find it odd that their products have a fragrance in them. That is exactly what the skin does not need when doing a peel. The company should look into this and make a change
I completely agree.
Such beautiful results. I have pigmentation as well and will look into this peel. I always had freckling, but since using an LED device my pigmentation worsened. Thanks so much for sharing.
I have noticed this as well!
Me too 🥺 i stopped wearing my ledlight mask!
Your skin looks amazing
Thank you!

I have not heard of Enlighten. Perhaps you can call to ask them the difference and then do your own research to compare?
Amazing results!
Do you think this is preferable to hydroquinone?
Can this peel be used on the décolleté? And shoulders?
Thank you !
I have tried Musely hydroquinone and posted a video here on RUclips if you want to see that the results were nowhere near as good as this Cosmelan peel. This peel is the best thing I’ve ever tried for my melasma.

How was your skin on day 5 and day 6 after the peel

How long is you face actually peeling? I work.

The professional level peel is $500 and you can buy it yourself as a non-professional and apply it to yourself? In the US? How?
@@beautybeyond40 yes in the US and how idk 🤷🏽♀️ read the directions?
@bbag7378 But how are they selling to you without verifying your professional license? I would NOT recommend doing this. You could damage your skin. This peel is strong!

How many time cosmelan peel require
You're the 1st person I've seen that says the peel is done twice... I'm about to have mine and its only one peel with a 5min pre peel 2 days prior
Both times I went, there were 2 professional peels - years apart at different places.
Have you seen Susan Yara’s cosmelan peel video this past week? I’m so confused about the 30 days of Step 2 …how brown/orange the peel is and how in the world you can apply it throughout the day and look even halfway normal!?

So you look possibly look orange for a month after? I work. Not sure I can do this. It's being recommended by my dermatologist.
Don’t forget that melasma is not only triggered by heat-it can be triggered by fluctuation in hormones.
Yes BUT I’m on steady hormones in perimenopause so not sure mine fluctuate much? I don’t get my period anymore 🤷♀️ really not sure. could be a factor for others though?
Hormone replacement therapy can cause Melasma.
How do you compare this with the Musely spot peel?
musely is not as strong
Your skin looks beautiful! My question is, for home care, do you put Cosmelan 2 and sunscreen over it during the day? Do you put anything else? Also, does the pillow case get dirty from the Cosmelan2?
Thank you! No, I don’t use anything else - just the Cosmelan 2 and sunscreen. Yes your pillowcase can get dirty so you can put down a towel if needed or change your pillowcase frequently.
@@beautybeyond40 Thank you for letting us know.
Which sunsheild is that please??
Bluestone. It’s linked on my site: beautybeyond.com/shop
Is this the Cosmelan MD version peel with hydroquinone?
Nope
I wish I could use this peel too, but it’s not good for olive or brown skin unfortunately
This seems like something you can do at home.
It may look like that to you, but if you’re familiar with this peel then you’ll know that the professional strength is really intense and it’s not available over-the-counter.

@@beautybeyond40 I googled this and didn’t find any Plastic Surgeons offices using this. Only med-spas. I hear so many med spa horror stories.
Dont throw away, send to me 😅
