Melazepam Cream by Ecological Formulas

I love this stuff. You have to mix with moisturizer. Keeps my skin nice and clear.

This formula is not a smooth cream - it does leave little globs on the skin. I have used two tubes so far and they are both like this. After applying the melazepam cream, I just flick the globs away with a tissue. When I first starting using this, it stung a little for a minute, but after a few days the stinging doesn't happen. If you start/stop using it, you can expect the stinging to happen every time you start again. I have rosacea and get small red pimples all over my nose and onto the front of my cheeks. It took about a week for me to see results using melazepam, but after a week I really started to see clearing of my skin. It's important to use a gentle cleasner on your skin and don't use melazepam on broken skin. I found that I also need use a light facial moisturizer on top of this.

Guys nothing has cleared my acne better than this stuff right here. I’ve had moderate-severe acne since the age of 15, i’m now 23. The only other things that have ever worked on my skin were doxycycline (stopped taking it because that stuff is bad for you long term) and birth control (stopped using that too because again, unhealthy for you long term). I really wasn’t expecting it to work so well. I was in a place where I would have 4-5 active pimples on my face, with new ones showing up every day, and scars/marks everywhere. Now I will only occasionally get one pimple here or there. Okay fair warning there was a purge at the beginning for like a week. So your skin may look worse for a bit before it looks better. I’ve had this stuff for a long time, but would not use it continuously. So it wouldnt work. But then I started using it every single night (occasionally skipping a night here and there if my skin was too dry). And wow. I cant say it works for everyone but it worked great for me. I almost gave up on retinoids after a terrible year long experience with tretinoin, but nevermind. Yeah!!

I don’t know if I had a bad product or if it was too long in the sun. The consistency is wrong, like granules, not creamy or lotion. I still used it. First day my whole face was very red, and it broke the skin with pápulas from rosacea. I’m afraid to use it again.

My dermatologist said this wouldn't work, but it did. I have yet to finish 1/6 a tube. While I did note minimal lightening of dark spots left from pimples over daily applications for about three weeks, I do think Ambi 4%, if you can find it, is a far superior product. I don't care for the "itchiness" that lingers for a good ten+ minutes. It's affordable and easy to find, though, unlike hydroquinone 4%.

I read someone else in a review, describe that their tube wasn’t an emollient, but more like a paste, and another replied that if they put it on after moisturizing, it spreads just fine. That was a lie. It really is a paste, and I needed to moisturize with my cerave moisturizing cream, then mix a little more cream with the paste to get it to spread evenly on my face. You still can’t put it on in the morning and try to put sunscreen or make-up over the top of it, though. It WILL clump up underneath (or the paste clumps will become visible). Over all, I’m giving 4 stars because it did work better on my rosacea than anything else so far and it has only a few ingredients. Just have to do what I did to make it work, and only use it at night.

I’m a 49 year old female - I’ve struggled with my skin since I was 13. I’ve had what I THOUGHT was acne on my face, neck, back, chest, shoulders, and stomach. In the last year, I’ve come to find out (through online research) that my problem is mostly yeast that overgrows on my super-oily, Mediterranean, olive skin. I’ve had quite a bit of successs clearing my body fungal acne with Nizoral shampoo, as well as Head and Shoulders shampoo (I alternate between the 2). However, I continued to struggle with blackheads in my t-zone and on my cheeks, and also pimples around my jawline. I recently read about azelic acid in a pityrosporum folliculitis forum, and I decided to try Melazepam. I started by gently using a dermaplaning razor, then washing my face, and applying the Melazepam. It’s only been about a week and a half, but my skin is smoother, less oily, and my blackheads almost literally fall out of my pores! And no new pimples. I can’t guarantee it will work for everyone, but I wish I had known about this years ago! It’s better than ANYTHING a doctor has ever prescribed me.

My skin is two-fold, I have issues with acne (usually 1-2 deep, cystic pimples a month) and melasma (sun related on upper lip, as well as my nose and cheeks). I've been looking for a natural skin lightener and read quite a bit about azelaic acid. I also use a vitamin B3 serum and wash my face with koljic acid soap - along with peels, ipl's and red light therapy. Azelaic acid is proven to help with rosacea and acne - and in some cases lightens skin discolorations. I haven't noticed any improvement on my melasma (using for 3 weeks now) but my acne is non existent. That alone will keep me using this product. Couple things to note, it's thick and did cause an itching sensation initially (went away after a week of daily use - 2x a day). It plays well with foundation that isn't heavy (I had to change my foundation to make it work and it was worth it). I apply the cream after my serum and apply my moisturizer over.
