Hello Everyone! I was hoping to reach out for some HELP.....

I've suffered with acne for over 15 years and it's finally under control using baking soda as my cleanser and rice vinegar and water as a toner.

Over the years I've been on accutane and a year ago my dermatologist placed me on minocycline. I developed post inflammation hyper pigmentation while on minocycline as my acne cleared. I also developed a darkening over my upper lip and temples and after much research and a few opinions I developed melasma from the acne medications over the years. Prior to this I did have acne, however, once my pimple healed it never left a mark. My PIH is now 6 months old. Many acne suffers developed darken of the skin and at times this is actually melasma or age spots, liver spots, etc. Just as the name suggest "liver spots" the liver is the cause of the problem. Too much antibiotics can cause you liver to over work itself and produce liver spots. I've been using alternative medicine for the past week and will continue for 2 or 3 months, however, I would like to see improvement myself before sharing my experience although I already know it has worked for many others.

Has anyone treated melasma with success and if so, how? There are many methods...lemon, acv daily, grapefruit seed extract, etc. I would like to hear from someone who has used a treatment and had true success. Please share your advice and the length of time it took you to note progress.

I've been using a all natural regimen and although it's been working I'm becoming a little impatient with the waiting process.

I have Dan's products, however, I am concern that the BP treatment will increase my hyperpigmentation. My spots are brown not red and came about after 7 months on minocycline. Mostly on my forehead. My regimen is slowly decreasing the spots; however, I would like to try Dan's system since years ago Proactiv worked very well for me, but it was very drying. (I did not have brown spots back then.)

Anyone with the same issue...and had success or increase hyperpigmention with Dan's BP? eusa_whistle.gif

My facial acne is mild to moderate and my skin tone is fair with freckles.
