Pigmentation / Melasma

[Zykora]

Hi There - is anyone else experiencing pigmentation / melasma during pregnancy or postpartum? Or maybe you still have it since you had kids. What did you do to fade it? Any product recommendations? And was it hard to find something pregnancy/postpartum safe?

Yeah I had this during pregnancy too and it carried into postpartum for a while.
It showed up as darker patches on my face and I honestly thought it would just go away after birth but it didn’t happen quickly.
From my experience it’s really common. Hormones during pregnancy can trigger it and then postpartum your hormones are still settling so your skin just takes time to balance out again.
Mine faded slowly over months. Some days it looked better, some days worse, especially when I was tired or out in the sun.
What helped most was just keeping things simple and being consistent with sun protection. It does improve for most people but it’s definitely a slow process.
