Exactly.

So your over-the-counter routine has to be geared towards sustaining how you produce pigment so that the prescriptions can really have hopefully more impact on a longer term.

So you're not always running back to them.

Mm-hmm.

Now, in recent years, there have been recent discoveries like oral medications that can help with deeper melasma, like dermal melasma.

Not everyone is a candidate, but it's called tranexamic acid.

If you're prone to blood clots, it's not for you.

But if you've never had one, it can change how you see yourself.

And the reason I'm telling you this is when my melasma flared,

I felt like a cryptkeeper overnight and I was 34 or 35.

And I remember my younger cousin, this hot young girl from Geneva comes over and she's like, hi, ooh.

And that was her.

I was like, what?

I just had a baby.

And she goes, that's your first reaction?

She goes, yeah, but what happened to your face?

And it hit me like, it was like a dagger to my heart, because I felt bad about myself.

And so when you have melasma, there's this constant feeling that you need to hide your face.

And it's a very heavy feeling that sounds so silly and vain, but the repercussion is so much deeper that I didn't want to take a picture of my baby.

I don't have any pictures of my daughter when she was the first couple of weeks old.
