@SilleeMee - do you buy yours direct from white lotus? Or are there better prices elsewhere?

For those interested in going the Retin A route - Check out the Curology site.  They sell Retin A custom blended with other brown spot reducing ingredients for $19.99.  You also are able to communicate with a dermatologist.  There is no registration fee and they were offering a trial tube free a few months back.  When I use up my current Retin A tube, I'm going this route.  I got my current Retin A from my doctor, but my insurance doesn't cover it (considered cosmetic) and it's not cheap.


 

@San Antonio Gal  Is it prescription strength Retin A? As far as I know, that’s only available with an RX. My insurance doesn’t pay for Retin A either. It takes me at least 4-5 months (using it 3-4 nights a week) to finish a tube. I put a tiny dot on forehead, chin, each cheek,  neck & 2 dots on chest. When finished rubbing it in, what left on my hands, I turn palms over and put the rest there

 

Many women make the mistake of using too much.

I have had brown spots or sun spots whateveryou want to call them for years, last week I saw a Dermatologist for another reason so I ask him what can be done about these things, even though there were only a few I was bothered by them. He sprayed them which  does sting somewhat, but at least I will be rid of them. This treatment will darken them more, but in time they will go away.


 

 

@sann  Sprayed w/ what?

@FLGators,

Yes and also ebay. I realize these White Lotus rollers are expensive but keep in mind that they last one year when used as directed. Prices on ebay are lower plus you can take advantage of the PayPal Credit option where you can use 'easy pay' if so desired. Woman Happy
