    smile hi there i too have had chloasma since the birth of my 3rd child it got even worse after my 4th I have just discovered a roll on skin lightener called THIOSPOT you are supposed to apply it twice a day but i only get the chance to apply once in the evening have been using it for about a month nowand i can really notice a huge difference i have chloasma on my cheeks but mainly on my forehead my cheeks have faded alot b=and my forehead is starting to fade i have quite a big dark patch on my forehead which i hate its horrible living with chloama isnt it? I also always apply 50factor suncream every day especially during the summer months Also my sister put me on to a make up called SHEER COVER it does exactly what it says completely covers my chloasma it is amazing and has has really helped give me back my confidence so i REALLY would rec ommend you try it i dont normally wear make up but i was so sick of my patchy face that now i dont go out withougt my 50factor and my sheer cover on it is a powder foundation try looking on e-bay mine cost about £20 for both pots as you can mix to get the right shade for your skin well i really hope you give both these products a go oh yes the THIOSPOT is £19 99 for a 5ml roll on i have had mine a month and think ive still got another couple weeks worth left and i really dont mind the price because it is working Good luck to you and all the best

    Oh no! You have described exactly what I have. I went to a dermatologist today and he is starting me on Skinoren. Mine has gotten progressively worse since I was pregnant and has not dissipated at all. My regular freckles, of which I only used to have a few, have grown at an alarming rate also.

    Other than topical treatments such as Skinoren, has anyone had any success with microdermabrasion or chemical peels?

    I desperately don't want to have to live with this forever.

    Thiospot... ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. i have been using the intensive cream for 6 weeks and noticed the difference in just a week. now my dark patches have reduced by at least 80% after 6 weeks. i wish i had used this product years ago, or even heard of it.. but i am so glad i am now. i just hope this works for everyone because its given me back so much confidence and i feel like a different person than i was 2 months ago, hiding under layers of make up and not facing anyone. please at least try it to see if it works as well for you. i cant rate it highly enough. good luck
