Severe Dermatitis
I don't know what it is about SkinMedica's dark spot line, but it causes severe dermatitis for me. I started using Lytera 2.0 about 2 years ago and used it for 6 months with no issue when it suddenly caused me to start having dermatitis. I'm talking crusty, oozing, and itchy sores. It's not the active ingredients because I've used other brand creams (and even a prescription) using tranexamic acid, niacinamide, kojic acid, or arbutin with no issues. I've used retinol with no issues. Was excited to see that SkinMedica had this new product because I did feel that Lytera 2.0 helped the most with my melasma. Well, used this for the first time last night and woke up this morning with the worst dermatitis ever. Half of my face is swollen such that it's difficult to use my mouth, and I have itchy, crusty, and oozing sores all over. Whatever common ingredient SkinMedica is using, I hope they don't mess with their other existing products since I've currently been using the TNS Advanced Serum with no issues. On the other hand, I guess if I have to stop using that, it won't be a big issue since I've used for that for over one year and honestly don't see any results.
