Appears to fade Melasma
I had read an article that Grape Seed Extract may help fade melasma. I've had melasma on my face, brown patches on my forehead and cheeks, for over 15 years. I never leave the house without make-up/foundation. I've tried various hydroquinone fade creams, Retin A and other products attempting to get rid of the brown patches on my face (I have fair to medium skin). I use high SPF sunscreen religiously every day, winter and summer, but the brown patches still appear, and are always darker in the summer. I purchased this Grape Seed Extract at the beginning of the summer in hopes that it might help. I've been taking two capsules per day, for the past 5 months or so. At first I noticed that the brown patches didn't darken as they normally would during the summer. Eventually the melasma patches became paler, now the patches are the palest they have ever been in 15 years, much closer to my skin color. I can use much less make-up/foundation to even out the look of my skin. The only difference in my usual skin care routine has been taking two of these Grape Seed Extract capules every day for the past 5 months, I've gone through several bottles. I am quite convinced that my significantly improved skin tone is likely a result of taking the Grape Seen Extract. I've never written an Amazon review before, but I felt compelled to share my experience with fellow melasma sufferers.
