30F Nov 2025 to May 2026 melasma and acne hyperpigmentation progress
Sharing my progress on 0.05% tret with 15% azealic acid and tranexamic acid. I had actually already been using this for 11 months in my before photo. I was still flaking, dry and my skin looked even more dull than before I started. My dermatologist gave me a short 3 month course of 4% hydroquinone to use with my tret which ended in March. I have been just using my original prescription and my skin has never looked better 😭 The dullness has gone, I barely flake now and just have this constant glow. When I was using the hydroxyquinone my skin was looking a bit blotchy but when I stopped, my skin tone evened out again. I thought I’d need multiple rounds but honestly so happy with how my tret, azealic acid and tranexamic acid have just finished off the work. You guys weren’t exaggerating about trusting the process. My face just always looks so hydrated now. I’ve added 2 recent photos in outdoor sunlight at the end
