What Can Be Used for Pigmentation Treatment During Breastfeeding?

Melasma often follows pregnancy and breastfeeding, but unfortunately not every treatment is appropriate during this sensitive period.

Here are a few suggestions to help you control blemishes with a daily skincare routine:

1- Vitamin C serum

Reduces pigmentation

Brightens the skin

Prevents DNA damage

Can be used before daytime sunscreen

Caution: Stabilization is easily destabilized, if it has turned a dark brown color, it is useless to use it anymore.

2- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Supports the skin barrier

Reduces sensitivity and redness

Reduces pigmentation

Provides a dewy and radiant appearance

Can be used in the morning and evening

3- Azelaic acid

Prevents blemish production

Balances the color tone

Reduces the appearance of blemishes and redness due to acne and rosacea

Although it can be used in the morning and evening:

Acidic products require time for the skin to get used to them. Tolerance can be achieved gradually by using them at night and every other day at the beginning.

4- Bakuchiol

A highly tolerated retinol alternative,

So it is also an antiaging and antioxidant

Can be used in the morning and evening

5- Sunscreen

Of course it’s a must,

Mineral filter is our preference.

It’s an important trick:

Possible tolerance problems can be avoided if active ingredients are gradually added to the routine.

My personal recommendation is to start by distributing them over different times, such as morning-evening or every other day, rather than using different active ingredients at the same time. 💫
