Comment on How to treat scars… by MsBee

Dr. Welsh,

Thank you for answering my question under the Melasma blog. I would like to make a request for a future blog: I would love to see a list of some common products/actives that should not be used together or with restrictions (never use in the same routine….or only use 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening…..or only use on alternating days) I have read warnings about AHAs/BHAs with retinol products…..Vit C and copper peptides….etc. I hope this is not an overwhelming request….Thank you…

Dr Welsh, what can you say about AFil Cream (chemical and physical SB)? Is this sufficient enough for my face, and, how often should I reapply during the day? Been using vanicream spf 60, a physical sunblock but I have a feeling it is not protecting me well. I am using glycolic 20% cleanser plus tret 0.05% 30 min after cleanser at night. I have lots of melasma on one side of my face and nothing seemed to work. Been using tret for the past 2 months. I appreciate your thoughts…… Thank you.

No, vitamin c is a very labile product so it is very unlikely that it would last that long. I would apply it daily.

Dr. Welsh,

Excuse the interruption on this blog….but I recently posted a question on one of your previous blogs “Melasma”…..thought you might not have seen it.

Thanks!

I have read that the benefits of vitamin C products remain effective for 72 hours(3days) ….Do all of the benefits of vitamin C (increasing the effectiveness of SPF products, lightening of the skin, collagen building) remain effective for that long or only some of them?

If so, is it only necessary to use Vitamin C products every 3 days?

Thank you….

Comment on Temporary Henna Tattoos: what you didn’t know… by Karen

Great article, it is so nice to see doctors noticing this terrible problem.

However I find that it is not JUST in the Americas that this is happening, it is also found in holiday locations world wide (Turkey, Greece, Morocco, for example) places where you can get a black “henna tattoo” (being neither a tattoo nor henna I hesitate to call it a henna tattoo with out the quote marks) these can show up as burns many days after the stain is gone.

A great way to tell if it is “black henna” is to look at the product - does it look like india ink? Run away!
Are you supposed to leave it on for an hour than wash it off, resulting in a black stain? RUN AWAY!

Thank you for this great article!
