Melasma is the most commonly encountered skin condition. Although it is available in men, it is most common in women. It is commonly found in pregnancy and in women undergoing hormone replacement therapy. Melasma often manifests itself through hyper pigmentation of the nose, chin, cheeks, and upper lip, though it may appear elsewhere. Occasionally, it is hairy or it shows itself in the form of acne. Other times, it just looks like an area on your face that is darker than other areas. When the mine first appeared, it almost looked like a mustache because the area above my upper lip looked darker. Finally, it expanded to include other areas on my face. And finally, the dark patch has small white spots in it.
One treatment I am often asked about is vitamin E. This is a very cheap natural treatment, which can be taken internally or in oral form. Vitamin E is known as an effective treatment for the skin in general because it is a powerful antioxidant. It is said to offer protection from ultra violet light (and sun damage,), and cell damage. It is also used as an anti-aging substance and some believe it helps with wrinkles and age spots. There is also some literature showing that it can help with inflammation.
Because I have experience with melasma, I have researched and tried vitamin E on topical and oral. I have not been able to find any clinical studies or pathways that have studied vitamin E as a treatment for hyper pigmentation or this condition. However, I found a study that mentioned vitamin E in the literature and its findings.
The study I mentioned was testing the effectiveness of pycnogenol (which is a very powerful plant and anti oxidant) as a treatment for melasma. Studies show that pycnogenol is believed to recycle vitamin C and regenerate vitamin E in the body. And at the end of the 30-day treatment, pycnogenol is said to have an 80% effective rate. In the literature outlining this study, pycnogenol is considered to be more potent than vitamins C and E. However, as this substance seems to cause antioxidant production (including C and E), you may be able to draw some general conclusions about vitamins and skin.
In my own experience, I believe that vitamin E makes a strong topical. It makes my skin brighter. However, I also did not experience the dramatic effect of my melasma alone. At the end of the day, it's part of my regimen because I believe that, as an antioxidant, it's important for the skin. But as a treatment for this kind of hyper pigmentation, it's just my opinion that there are better options. And there are some commercially available products that contain both pycnogenol and vitamin E so if you believe antioxidant treatment is something you want to pursue, it's easy to do so when you close all bases.
The point for me (and you may disagree) is that treating melasma often requires a combination of various approaches and approaches of trial and error. I have heard from people who believe that E may help them a little, but not enough to make a significant difference. Many people choose to stick with it because it seems to help with the overall appearance of your skin and it is inexpensive.
