Question

I have a melasma treatment formula. Can this formula be mixed? Can I add Reservoir-Tech (3%) to improve its effectiveness? Will this formula still be effective for treating melasma if my skin is constantly exposed to the sun?

Answer

Regarding the melasma formula you provided:

  • The staff confirmed that this formula can be mixed.
  • They also suggested adding Reservoir-Tech 3% to the formula to help improve the effectiveness of melasma reduction.
  • However, the staff highlighted a crucial point: if your skin is constantly exposed to the sun, any melasma treatment will have very limited or no expected results. It may not be worthwhile to use melasma treatment products if you have continuous direct sun exposure.
  • While suitability for dry skin wasn't fully assessed by the staff without more detailed information, the primary factor limiting the formula's effectiveness in your case is the ongoing sun exposure.

Therefore, while the formula is mixable, achieving significant results in treating melasma will be extremely difficult if you are constantly exposed to the sun. Effective sun protection is essential for any melasma treatment to work.
