wrongtiming 22 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I'll be so much happier. My skin has improved SO much the past couple of months. This is a relatively new spot (about a month old), and I really want to get rid of it quickly, as I have spring break soon. http://imgur.com/6XJLAoz it's in the middle of my forehead. it doesn't look too bad in this picture (also, I know my hair is messed up), but in real life, depending on the lighting, it can look pretty terrible. I've been using 4% hydroquinone on it for a few weeks now. I used 40% lactic acid peel on it a few times as well. I recently started using Turmeric mixed with chickpea flower, along with a turmeric cream (called Vicco) about a week ago. not every single day, but ever few days. When I wash my face, i use the neutrogena fight and fade toner on my forehead. My dermatologist told me to put ziana gel on it every night (which is a retin-a) - so I started doing that last night. I also get my Clarisonic Mia in the mail in about 3 days (i had a warranty and my old one which i never used broke). Does anyone have any recommendations?

melmel87 105 Share Posted February 9, 2013 retin-a will definitely help speed up the healing time of that. Just give it some time, also apply sunscreen on it during the day to prevent it from getting any darker. Only use the clarisonic at night.
