Ephe: I don’t have a clear answer for you. I suggest making sure that you constantly wear a good sunscreeen, preferably one with a physical blocker (titanium dioxide or zinc oxide), because sun exposure is usually the main cause of darkening. Treatment products alone won’t help if you keep getting sun exposure and just a few minutes each day can cause darkening of melasma. Also check to see if your products contian hydroquinone (I don’t think either Makari or Albi do though). Some people are sensitive to hydroquinone and darken from it.

Lynette: You should see a professional for that issue and do not use any more hydroquinone under any circumstances. Unfortunately, some people are sensitive to hydroquinone, and for them, it causes a form of melasma that is grayish in color and often irreversible. That is one of several reasons why it is banned in a number of countries. However, a dermatologist may be able to provide some treatment for it. What is available for melasma caused by hydroquinone is beyond my level of expertise.
