Skin pigmentation above lip - best coverage?

[anothersuprise]

Just that really!

I get a really dark patch above my lip in the sun and I'm so self conscious about it. I live abroad and it's just got so bad I could cry
What would be good to cover it with? Would those 'red' concealers work? Any help would be greatly appreciated

No help with concealer I'm afraid but I've got the same and tretinoin has really made mine fade, not completely gone yet but it's getting there!!

What's that mamma? Never heard of it!

Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A and is prescription strength stuff (one of the brand names is "Retin-A" and it's also commonly referred to as this). Depending where in the world you are you might be able to get it from a pharmacist without prescription (I know you can in Spain and Italy) but some countries require a prescription from doctor/ dermatologist. It's very strong stuff so you have to be careful with it and do some research before using it (use spf50 everyday etc) but as far as I'm aware it's the only cream that can really improve skin quality!

Dermablend foundation works brilliantly for this. I have the same pigmentation issue above my lip, and this foundation has really helped.

I had the same when I was pregnant, so get how you feel! I used a foundation called ‘sheer cover’, I got it on line, but can’t remember where. It’s 2 different powders that you put on with a special brush and it’s amazing!! It really covered everything- but looked really natural!!
