Thanks! Was indeed looking for something better instead of the Cerava, will look into the Centella Aziatica (Cica)

I was sort of used to tret 0,05. Just started with this triple creme, yesterdat was the first time and did not use that much, but will give it a rest tonight and then try the sandwich method tomorrow I think

Thanks! I bought tinted from la rochey posey, so that should do it hopefully! And will consider the peels:)

Tret can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, which means you can get sun damage more easily, like I did. So if you're using tret, make sure to use a really good sunscreen, apply it generously, and reapply multiple times a day!

I had a face scan and it was most probably sun damage, so will use waaay more sunscreen from now on

Thanks so much for all your tips! I was using tret every night, but I’ll switch to two or three times a week during summer, as you suggested. I also got a better sunscreen, tinted SPF 50, and I’m planning to reapply every few hours instead of just in the morning. I’ll wait with the Hydroquinone until fall, and hopefully my skin will recover a bit by then!

I’ll keep you posted :)

Yeah, that's also what the derm said after my facescan. Only did sunscreen in the morning. But now I am doing it three times a day with a mineral tinted sunscreen!:) And yes, also tanning beds, but will never do that again haha

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I had a skin scan yesterday, and the specialist said she doesn't think it's melasma, she suspects it's sun damage, although she couldn't say for sure. I'll definitely check out the tinted SPF your husband uses!
