Thanks for the info.

Do you know if its available to buy off the shelf at pharmacies or is it only on prescription?

Has this product lightened or evened your skin tone at all?

How do you peel, mild flaking or heavy peeling?

 

Hi Maatra,

It is available to buy with & without prescription. My first was a prescription & thus cost £7.20 (standard UK prescription cost on NHS). My subsequent purchases were made at the pharmacy without prescription for £13. I have also bought it from an online pharmacy store for £10.

Skin evened, not lightened. Which was my derms goal. Skin has to be even BEFORE trying to lighten. I havent used a lightening regimen in months, yet, my skin hasnt lost the shade it was when I first started with the derm.

The peeling is mild/medium and never irritating BUT I heavily suspect this is because of the sudocrem that I start using after 3 days of using the Calmurid. Infact, I'll never do a peel (or exfoliating regimen) without following up with Sudocrem.

Please remember Calmurid is not for daily use. The most I was allowed to use it for was 3 days and I couldnt use again until I had peeled completely (2 weeks) and let my skin rest & be moisturized (another 2 weeks)

 

did it get rid of any sort of discolouration on your body?

 

So far, very much so. First thing to point out is that this cream contains lactic acid, which as we all know helps exfoliate & clear discoloration. The way we go wrong with lactic acid is usually by using too high concentration, using more frequently than required or not allowing the skin to recover by following a moisturizing & recovery regimen.

In other words, yes it works, but see my above posts on the regime I had to follow for it to work. Hope that helps.

 

ok thanks but how do you intend to combine this with your skin lightening regime?

I dont know if i should incorporate this or just stick to RA

 

@ Maatra. Nope, not lightening at the moment. I am solidly sticking to the derms advice of getting the skin clear & even BEFORE trying to lighten . Honestly, at this point I've come to realise I'll take clear/even/scarless skin over a lighter patchy skin anyday. I started out wanting to be even with a bright/clear complexion & I'm back on that goal.
