Sekkesei?
"Mme. India" <mmein...@comcast.net>

I have been using Sekkesei for about a month now, for its intended purpose
(fading melasma spots on my face). For what it's worth, I'm using the
washing powder, lotion, and cream, with SPF 15 in the daytime. I also have
the soap but haven't really used it yet. I have been too busy to use the
cream nightly, I'd say I'm using it about 3x a week.
I have seen people rave about Sekkisei here but although I like it in
general, I have yet to see any fading effect. Have I just not been using it
long enough? Do I need to use the soap too or instead of the washing
powder? (Which appears to just be powdered soap?) Or do I need to apply
the cream directly to the spots rather than all over my face?
I don't mind all that much if it doesn't work because I more or less got it
for free (earned a $100 gc to Beauty.com from a reward program), but it's
expensive so I don't want to repurchase if it's not going to work for me.

Medicated Sekkesei is (AFAIK) a more potent version. I've never used
Sekkesei as a spot lightener; I think that it's a more overall lightener.
For spot treatment, I like Lancome's Blanc Expert XW spot corrector.

First off, are you using the Sekkesei or the Medicated Sekkesei? The (fading melasma spots on my face). For what it's worth, I'm using the
washing powder, lotion, and cream, with SPF 15 in the daytime. I also have
the soap but haven't really used it yet. I have been too busy to use the

Medicated Sekkesei is (AFAIK) a more potent version. I've never used
