I just ordered MaMa lotion from the Derm store -- to address some pigmentation problems I'm having and possibly rosacea. Has anyone tried this product?

Yes, I have. Not worth it to me, there are others that are better. If you are having pigmentation issues, look at kojic acid
kojic acid - Google Search

and if you go the mandelic acid route, which MaMa's has, go for more than 10%. Mandelic is very effective but in higher concentrate.

I personally had better luck with kojic acid.

But have used both

yeah, i've tried it..The results were not enough for me to continue using it..I would just get the sample sizes and try it first, if I were u.

Thanks. Did you use a specific product?

SESDERMA KOJICOL PIGMENTATION TREATMENT PRODUCTS

That is what I used but you might be able to find something similar if you didn't want to try this line. I liked all of Sesderma's products, just hard for me to find, and I am not good at planning ahead, to order online.

Thanks for the info. I'd have to order on line as well. I haven't really noticed Kojic acid in any other product.

Mari- let me do some research, I believe another line that I have used has kojic acid. But let me double check. Are you in Canada? Or the UK? I can't tell, for some reason my computer is messing up at the moment.

ok here are some other products that have kojic acid- I have used the PCA product that you will see on this page-

Thanks for the info -- I'll search through the Derm site.

Thanks so much, my Derm store order didn't go through - having computer problems -- but this is good -- I have another day or so to do some research. Hopefully something will work for me.
