Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Do you have melasma or any other form of stubborn hyperpigmentation on your face or elsewhere on your body? Have you tried all available conventional treatments and spent a small fortune, only for the dark patches to remain steadfast if not worsen? Are you lacking in confidence socially? Are you afraid to go outdoors to bask in the sunshine? Are you embarrassed, depressed or frustrated about having this disease? Then why not try out a new method of treatment that has so far yielded exciting and promising results? This therapy is safe, inexpensive and rewarding, and has been proven to work for many sufferers via an ongoing Internet chat-room experiment that I initiated in January 2002. Just 7 months later, approximately 100 women were reaping the benefits of supplementing their diets with a remarkable nutrient called MSM Sulphur...could this be the clear solution for you too?

Review #1: This is MY solution! 2004-05-10  I have had melasma for years and everything I have tried has been useless! It just comes right back afterwards. Then desperately searching the net for help one day I found the site www.melasma.co.uk, I read the info, studied the before and after photos then still feeling a bit uncertain I contacted Miss Wild herself. She was very helpful and explained that even with MSM there were no guarantees that my melasma would go, but that if I followed all the steps in the book carefully it would increase my chances of seeing results. She also said that she has plans to update her book one day and that even more natural alternative solutions will be included, all tried and tested of course by true melasma sufferers, just in case MSM doesn't work for the reader. So you have a choice now all you lot out there - take it! You don't have to put up with being fobbed off by derms with harmful bleaching creams that cost $$$$$$!!! Anyway feeling encouraged to give this a real shot I went ahead and ordered the book. I am happy to say that I haven't looked back since! The book outlines exactly what you need to do so read it over and over again before you start, it isn't just about taking MSM sulfur, there's a lot more to it than that. There are numerous encouraging testimonials included from fellow sufferers from all corners of the globe lending weight to the realization that this really could be the only natural alternative solution to conventional treatments for melasma. Mine hasn't totally gone yet but what I have left no longer darkens in the sun which is great news for me! Keep spreading the word Vanessa and thank you again and again!
Review #2: Save your money 2004-04-30  The author's "studies" were done via chatroom/internet emails of other women that tried her 'cure'. No proof, no pictures, nothing to back up her claims. A lot of: "It SEEMS like it's getting better" "I THINK it might be getting better..." " I can't tell if it's working..." blah-blah-blah. Her "studies" were done for such a short time, she didn't even know the outcome of most of the women as they were still trying it.The author claims that MSM-a supplement one can buy at the healthfood store, 'cured' her melasma. However there are no doctor/medical backed studies about her claims, and only ONE before/after photos which wasn't very impressive. She says to take as little or as much as needed-this is quite vague. As the book says nothing on the proper dosage (anything from 1000mg up to 10,000mg)you don't even have to buy the book to try the 'cure'. Just buy some MSM and see what happens. I tried taking the MSM orally and topically and it did NOTHING. I got more results with Retin A & Hydroquinone. I want my money back!
Review #3: Saving Face 2003-12-02  I don't take anything a medical doctor says at face value. After researching melasma extensively I came across this book and its the best hope out there for us with the disease. My dermatologist offered me no hope and and a very expensive prescription. I know however that there is always an alternative to chemicals and this is the solution for this particular problem. My melasma has been such an embarassment to me. It's not life threatening, but when I can't look people in the eye any more it's humiliating. This book is worth keeping and reading over and over so you don't get discouraged while you are on the MSM. The MSM does not work over night and in my opinion works better if you change your diet and try and balance your hormones while taking it. This book gives such great advice as each of us is different. Many women write about their experience while on the MSM. If you are like me you would do just about anything to get rid of this horrible problem, so nothing is lost by buying this book.
Review #4: Melasma suffers check this out 2003-06-24  If you are a true Melasma sufferer like myself, you will really appreciate the information found in this book. This is the only book that I found out there that actually discussed using MSM to help get rid of this particular problem and in my case it worked wonderfully. Hearing the experiences of others was what I needed to give me the reason to try it. I am very glad that I spent the very small amount of money necessary to find out what I needed to do.
Review #5: Saved my life! 2003-06-17  This book is great for those who have tried every topical treatment for hyperpigmentation. After varying the levels of my birth control pills, I got the worst hyper pigmentation on my upper lip literally overnight. I have since been on a very expensive 2-year trek to fix this embarrassing situation. I've used the retin-A/hydroquinone combination, the pulse laser treatments, gone to the top "Hollywood facialist to the stars" as well as every product out there containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, vitamin C and everything that is touted to remove hyperpigmentation. Some of these actually caused it to get darker because I have Asian skin that turns traumatized areas darker. I must've spent close to $5,000 with minimal, if any, results. I've been since using various concealers to cover up the problem. I used to be proud of my skin and the fact that I had to wear make up to cover something up made me very self-conscious. Since finding the website and book, I've been taking MSM with wonderful results. It's been a little over a month. Right now, I have a cold and any concealer put on that area gets rubbed off whenever I blow my nose (which right now is every 5-10 minutes), and visited a friend that I haven't seen for a couple years. She commented on how great I looked and I felt great even without the concealer. The dark areas are broken up and much lighter. I'm comfortable being seen without any concealer. I still see dark areas but my fiancé says he doesn't see it anymore .... and he used to joke about my mustache (at one point he called me Mr. Kotter). I was so traumatized by the melasma that I think I'll always be looking for it. The book is very short and to the point, which is perfect for those of us desperate for a solution. When I go to the health food store to buy my MSM, I've found that most of the salespeople there have never heard of using it as a way to treat melasma. Hopefully they'll be able to pass it along to others whose self-esteem has suffered from melasma "mustaches"! |
