I’ve been using REVERSE and am experiencing great results. Once those brown spots fade, can dullness and dark marks return?

Yes. The REVERSE Regimen leverages hydroquinone to reduce brown spots and dullness. However, this treatment is not a permanent solution and exposure to UV light will trigger the return of the brown spots you’ve worked so hard to correct.

That is why it is imperative that you maintain results by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, rain or shine, and wear protective clothing to shield your skin from the aging effects of the sun.

 

What is melasma and can Rodan + Fields treat this condition?

Melasma, also known as the “mask of pregnancy,” is the most visible manifestation of the effect of hormones on the skin during pregnancy. Melasma appears as symmetrical dark brown patches on the cheeks, upper lip, and forehead. It results from the overproduction of melanin triggered by estrogenic hormones in concert with sun exposure.

Heat that comes from activities like “slaving over a hot stove” or sunbathing can also induce melasma. While it affects women of all ethnicities, darker complexions tend to have the most persistent forms.

To address the brown spots of melasma, we recommend the REVERSE Regimen which combines prescription medicines at non-prescription strength with active cosmetic ingredients to repair and protect hyper-pigmented, sun-damaged skin. REVERSE:

· Lightens excessive darkness, brown spots, and uneven pigment.

· Brightens dull skin, improves tone and texture, and boosts skin's radiance.

· Exfoliates skin to remove complexion-dulling dead skin cells.

· Protects against future sun damage with broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen.

REVERSE is not recommended if you are pregnant or nursing.
