How to Treat Melasma and Hyperpigmentation Without Hydroquinone

Posted on June 20, 2011

Darkened skin patches caused by pregnancy or overexposure to the sun is largely responsible for giving the appearance of much older skin. Most skincare can’t put a dent in fading dark areas, you need something that’s formulated to penetrate deep and brighten like crazy. Jurlique’s Purely White collection uses ingredients meant for brightening including their exclusive super-fruit along with proven basics like licorice and black elder to fade and brighten discoloration without the use of harsh chemicals like hydroquinone.

I gave their Essence serum to a friend about a month ago who wanted to lighten her melasma after she gave birth and she has since ordered the rest of the line because her skin is looking so good. I’ll probably try it on my décolleté so I can fade the spotting I earned as a teen while hitting up the tanning beds regularly.

People need to be informed about the damage that some products may have on their skin. All natural may not be a quick fix, but if used consistently and with patience, it just might prove to be helpful.

I’ve used Jurlique in the past and always had great results. I need to try this product because my dark spots are really bad, worse in the summertime.

Hi, Carissa! Is this product sold on your website? I could use it for my melasma. I’ve tried everything to no avail.
