| I have used Obagi for over 10 years. It can no longer help removing my freckles, what else I can try? |

Many people build up a tolerance to hydroquinone (HQ) and now even Dr. Obagi recommends using it for only a few months at a time. He also says long term HQ use can cause even worse pigmentation.
Obagi NuDerm stopped working for me after 8 months and I now have a patch of melasma which didn't exist before NuDerm. Because of this I am now using azaleic acid (Skinoren brand) in the AM and mixed with 0.1% tretinoin cream in the PM - this is considered to have better effect than 2% HQ and almost equivalent to 4% HQ.
I also just started trying The History of Whoo Seol line, which seems pretty good so far (meaning my melasma hasn't gotten worse). |

Great advice. Thanks! This History of Whoo looks interesting too.

Hi!
the whoo line is effective on the skin's glow, it does not act much on freckles  |

| Laser is needed. If it's inherited freckles, laser can treat it. |
