I am a DRPT skin type and I have had problems with pigmentation on my cheeks and forehead for the last 10 years. I have tried many skin lightening products but have not managed to get rid of the problem yet. For the past 4 months I have been using Skinceuticals Phyto + and C Ferulic Acid, along with 30 spa sun block. This regime does seem to be having some beneficial effect, but you have to have a lot of patience.
I came across a gadget called the Derma Roller that has very fine needles that are designed to act like ‘multiple acupuncture-like points that activate the skin cells’. I wonder if this might be useful to treat pigmentation by helping my lightening product penetrate deeper down to the dermis. Should I give it a try? I would welcome any advice on this.
