Changes to my complexion.
I can see changes to my complexion already after only one month. My skin is smoother and softer. Spots have begun to fade also. I just received my second month and I can't wait to see whats going to happen. I cannot recommend this product enough.

Brown Spots No More
I started this product in April. See the before pictures and May pictures. I couldn’t believe the difference. I have done pills, BBL I think I’ve tried every hyper pigmentation cream and lotion and serum on the market but this product does exactly what it says. It’s gonna do. I say give Melanex 508 a chance. , your skin will love you for it.

Excellent products
I have been consistent morning and evening with my products and I see a big difference in my melasma. My complexion looks as though with it when I was younger within two weeks I seen the brightness in my skin. I will continue to stay steady with these products. Just be patient and you definitely will see results.

Impressed!
So I saw an Ad about this product and was amazed at the results, I also liked the "Try before you Buy" option. I've been suffering with sun damage, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. I ordered RIGHT AWAY! The first month I started slow to make sure my skin adapted to the prescription well and gradually using twice daily. I saw a change within a months time, great increase of fading and overall look. I can't wait till I am able to increase my percentage of treatment to start seeing a complete change. I know these things take time and I am really pleased so far with the results. I have tried so many other products, even big brand well known companies and I have spent a lot of money, and NOTHING compares to Methodiq! The change I have seen in a short time is very promising and reassuring. I know I'm finally with the right company! If your on the fence, tried other well known brands with no results, and just trying to fix your issues quickly and gently, I highly recommend Methodiq! Just try it!! (I specified i preferred the Hydroquinone option, just mentioning as the questionnaire asks your preference and I have seen results with this ingredient. )
