Lucid Melasma Treatment Cream

This multifunctional product does it all. It brightens, hydrates and gives you a pregnancy glow. Lucid contains organic fruit acids (AHAs) that gently exfoliate your face, while glycolic acid safely (during pregnancy) brightens your skin's complexion to fight dark spots. This treatment for melasma is an all-in-one serum that quickly penetrates the skin to improve firmness, moisture, and overall radiance. 

If pregnancy has triggered spotty dark spots on your face (also known as melasma or “the mask of pregnancy”), Lucid is here to wipe the slate clean!

Size: 1.7 oz/50 ml 

• Small molecular structure sinks deep into skin to deliver quick results
• A concentrated serum of hyaluronic acid that works to hydrate your skin and promote natural skin glow. Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to 1000x its weight in water making it an ideal ingredient for deep hydrating skin care.
• Toxin-Free Mask of pregnancy treatment can be used as a spot treatment over dark spots, or to brighten overall complexion
• Free of toxic skin whiteners like hydroquinone

Using a pea-sized amount of serum, apply to face and neck every morning and/or night. Use gentle, circular upward motions. For best results, apply on freshly cleansed and toned face. Follow with moisturizer and SPF 30+, if needed.

Tips:

• Always apply pregnancy serums before moisturizers to allow serum to penetrate skin first.
• Pair with our BalanC acne toner for clear, brighter skin.
• To reduce the appearance of dark spots or melasma (“the mask of pregnancy”), always wear SPF 30+ and reduce sun exposure.
• Consult with your dermatologist when considering a melasma treatment cream.

Lucid contains organic fruit acids (AHAs) that gently exfoliate your face, while kojic acid safely (during pregnancy) brightens your skin's complexion to fight dark spots. This treatment for melasma is an all-in-one serum that quickly penetrates the skin to improve firmness, moisture, and overall radiance. It is free of toxic skin whiteners like hydroquinone. Lucid is safe for: Pregnancy, Breastfeeding & Postpartum Mamas. Lucid is also safe to use while breastfeeding; however, we recommend *not* placing it directly on or near your nipples before breastfeeding. I would suggest asking your OB or pediatrician since all moms are different, and your OB or pediatrician would be the best person to ask.

I use the balance acne toner and rehab serum already. I am looking to incorporate this melasma product and wanted guidance on when to apply it in combination with the others. For instance, should it go before/after the rehab serum or should I alternate serums?

We suggest alternating the 2 serums- one in AM and another in PM: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser using lukewarm water. Spritz toner on a cotton pad and apply over a clean face and neck. Allow to dry and pump a pea-sized amount of Rehab serum and apply to your face and where ever else you are experiencing hormonal acne. Use Rehab once a day (AM or PM) and then alternate with the Lucid serum (AM or PM).*Please discuss with your doctor or OBGYN before starting any new treatment which products will work best for you.

Is it safe to use licorice during pregnancy? I read a few articles that do not recommend it.  I’m in my 1 st trimester and want to use this Melasma cream.

As you probably know, there's a lot of "bad science" out there that can scare pregnant mothers. Because of this, we've done lots of homework & consulted with doctors on our formulas. I hope the following information helps put your mind at ease. Licorice is one of those all-around great herbs for skincare; it’s been traditionally used for centuries for inflammation, skin brightening, and more, which is why it appears in The Spoiled Mama’s Lucid Serum! 😊 Please note that this is applied topically and is not consumed or ingested. When in doubt, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider – they know you best and are your best resource. Much love to you during the rest of your pregnancy!

I’m not pregnant but I have melasma, could I still use this product?

Of course! Any lover of toxin-free skincare can absolutely use any of our products. 

I have melasma not related to pregnancy. I have had it for a couple of years now, it did get worse during my last pregnancy and hasn’t gone away, and it has been over a year. Could I use this even though I am not pregnant?

 Although our brand is marketed toward Mamas, anyone who loves toxin-free (and awesome) products can definitely use anything from The Spoiled Mama! However, please keep in mind that it is a gentler formula, and we always recommend consulting with your dermatologist when considering a melasma treatment cream. Don’t forget to always wear SPF 30+ and reduce sun exposure to reduce the appearance of dark spots.
