  1. Heyyy! I just purchased Ambi an cream from Mercari, which is the 2% Hydroquinone recipe. They're still accessible on off sites like Mercari and ebay. Def move hasty tho, bc They're only limited amount and they all like expire within this year or next year

  2. love watching you guys such great content with a little humor “perfect”. Oh and i actually looked up “commonsensical” bc i had to know myself…and it came up in the cambridge dictionary as: “showing common sense (= the basic level of practical knowledge and judgment that we all need to help us live in a reasonable and safe way)” so good job Dr. Maxfield! 👍🏼

  3. So informative and helpful! Thank you! One question, how to use the Azelaic acid + Adaptelene combo? On the same night? Which one should go first? Or shall I alternate? thank you very much!

  4. I had Co2 treatment and the post-surgical hyperpigmentation was severe, even though I treated for it prior. Tri-Luma is wonderful. It was the only thing that even touched it.

  6. i got severe allergy on the left side of my neck and i kept on scratching it, it's healed but it went dark. Now i have two skin tones, my left neck is black and my right is white and it's not funny at all because people keep on laughing at me 🙁

  7. Get yourself a plasma pen on Amazon. I bought the Ophera pen. I had dark spots, sun spots, a few skin tags and I had them completely removed. 6 days recovery time for me.

  8. Very informative video, but now I am totally confused. My take away from watching is that if you already have a dark spot there are no over the counter products, including vitamin c, that will adequately address the issue. The search continues for help with this problem.

  9. So I work from home and where I sit and work there’s a window on one side of me and I realized my hyperpigmentation is sooo much worse on the side that faces the window. WEAR SUNSCREEN even when y’all are inside!!!!

  10. I found that sunscreen is bad for you. It actually blocks the energy you get from the sun. Pharma is a hoax and we have been lied to by Scientists and the whole medical field. It will soon be the past. Medbeds are coming that will cure all diseases. I believe that we can heal ourselves through our higher consciousness. Our Ancestors had only natural medicine and we will go back to it.

  11. I started getting a bit of hyperpigmentation in my early 50’s, mainly on the sides of my face near the hairline where I obviously wasn’t applying enough sunscreen 😭 I’m currently on a compounded hydroquinone cream and it’s over 75% faded now I’m really happy, my dermatologist alternates it with HQ-free treatments to avoid the risk of discoloration. None of the OTC treatments worked for me, it was really frustrating as my spots were not that dark or that bad. Those ingredients are pretty ineffective compared to hydroquinone. Even tretinoin did nothing to lighten the spots.

  12. Can you guys reccomend sunscreen for black people? I personally dont wear any-eventhough I should- because it looks like I'm playing in powder. I'll even go as far to say 90% are not made for black people.

  13. I stared watching your videos maybe 2-3 weeks ago and finally got out of using Proactiv that I’ve used for the last 15 years. Using your tips I have customized my skin care routine and now my skin looks way better than it ever has in my life

  14. …And if we want to afford all this good stuff they are showing us, we may need to go marry a doctor. 🤦‍♀️ Ha❣️Thanks for the advise 👍

  15. Hi, I love you guys! I have bad hyperpigmentation on my legs from picking. I need help! What can I use on my legs that is strong! I’m doomed from ever wearing shorts or a swimsuit. I’m so embarrassed.
