The Daily Beauty Break

If you have it, you know what a bear it is staying on top of hormonally-induced melasma (hyper-pigmentation). I’ve adopted several battle tactics in the war on my own melasma over the years, with the latest being the prescription potion Triluma ($190). Well, after awhile I felt that my results from Triluma seemed to “plateau”….

Enter Lumixyl($120) . This skin brightening peptide became available at your dermatologists office only a few months ago and offers several advantages that Triluma doesn’t…like no hydroquinone (controversial) or negative side effects with long term use (like steroid-induced skin thinning).  But does it actually work?

YES, YES and YES…I’ve been slathering on a pump of this wonder potion twice a day for about two weeks now and the difference in my skin in AMAZING…My dark patches (mostly under my eyes and on my forehead) have really lightened up and (bonus) my lovely acne scars seem to be disappearing twice  as fast! Lumixyl does  a great job in combination with my prescription retinoids and caused absolutely NO irritation.

So if you were on the fence about this one, jump in with the both feet (heck, head first) and pick up a bottle at your next derm visit!

Be Beautiful Y’all…
