I dont have melasma but alot of sun damage which has left my skin looking brown.
Will hq work and if so when could I see results.
Btw, I cant really tolerate retin-a so I wont be able to mix them. |

| It works well for many. It can take several weeks or months to start to see improvement. |

Do you mean you have brown patches or are you talking more like your skin looks like it has a permanent tan? Hydroquinone definitely works for pigmentation problems, but it can take 3 months to see anything happening. |

Both!!!
I have done alot of peels and didnt use sunblock about 5 years ago. So now I have permanently tanned skin (like what a lot of women see on their neck) and patches of darker pigment splattered. The dermatologist told me that I do not have melasma though. |

The HQ would work, but it will take time, and you will need to make sure to wear a really good sunscreen at all times! |

I've used HQ in conjunction with the Obagi Nuderm system and, for me, it really did take care of the hyperpigmentation/sunspots.
In fact, I think I'd go so far as to say that it is one product that I can't live without!
Also, it took about three months of continued usage before I noticed a real difference. I continue to use the Clear (the Nuderm product that contains HQ) three times a week as part of maintenance. With using Clear and a good sunscreen, I've successfully kept the sunspots away!  |
