A board-certified dermatologist team makes the final call from your photos and history. The broad pattern:
- If you are early in melasma and want a long-term, gentler approach without hydroquinone. The Dark Spot Solution ($79/month). Designed for sustained continuous use.
- If your melasma is stubborn, deep, or has not responded to other treatments. The Brightening Solution ($79/month). Includes hydroquinone for stronger pigment control; intended for cycled use under dermatologist supervision (see the hydroquinone duration question below).
- If your pigmentation is concentrated in defined patches rather than diffuse across your face. The Precision Dark Spot Corrector ($79/month). Spot-applied to specific areas; can be layered with a full-face formula.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, none of the hydroquinone-containing formulas are appropriate. Tell your dermatologist in your assessment — they will design a non-hydroquinone alternative or recommend pausing treatment until after nursing, depending on your case.
