Ive been using this product since the beginning of 2024 and have noticed a massive improvement to my skin! I upped the amount I was applying to my face in August and the results were incredible. My friends said I looked 20 years younger.

I bought this following years of buying retinol from Sephora but wanting to upgrade to medical grade. I was pretty comfortable starting with 0.5 and cushioning it with a hyaluronic acid and skinceuticals triple lipid restore. There’s been minimal flaking and I’m building up to twice a week. Very happy!

Love how light it is. Doesn't cause breakouts for me.
He usado este producto desde hace 2 años es súper bueno. Lo recomiendo. Yo amo este producto ❤️👍. Realmente funciona muy bien.
it really worked gave me confidence . I wish I had used it sooner
I have struggled with Melasma for some time, and just started using this product yesterday. My skin was peely this morning, but no more than my retinol products.
I have a question about use:
How frequently should I use this product to start with?
And can I use my Retinol Skin Brightner as well on days I’m not using Melamix? How should I incorporate these both, or is it best to use just one?
My second time on this program, the first time was last fall and I have seen a significant improvement in my melasma. I am back on it a second time around, hopefully the remaining melasma goes permanently. I think this would be a yearly treatment for me, I love how it has cleared up my skin.
In the last year I noticed some brown spots developing on my forehead (F, 31). This was after a few rounds of microneedling actually. I never noticed them before. Luckily, I found Cindy at Anti-Aging Vancouver and she assisted me with a consult and approved me to use this system for my melasma that had developed. It was so drying to my skin off the start. My whole face/neck was flaking for weeks. I can’t tell you how many times my coworkers commented that I was having a reaction to something. It’s not a reaction, it’s normal with the use of this product. Cindy was always there to reply to an email from me when I wondered if the flaking would ever stop or any questions on how to properly use the product. Once my skin got used to it I’ve never seen my skin in better shape. I’ll attach a before and after picture. Even my texture improved which I wasn’t expecting. Of course my melasma has not completely went away it is improved. I have to be off of the product for a while but I plan on going on another round of it eventually to try and further help reduce my melasma. It’s really a hate/love relationship. You hate the product at first but once your skin gets used to it, YOU LOVE IT! My only recommendation is perhaps avoid this system during the summer. It was full summer while I was on my system and I will definitely plan around summer next time. I was super worried about sun exposure with the hydroquinone. Anyways, I highly recommend!
