Description
Dark patches on the face, called melasma, resist most creams and peels. Dan Du, Xu Liu, Yuwei Huang, Shuwei Wu, and Xian Jiang test yellow light with vitamin C in a 2026 trial. Seventy-one patients got light twice a week for twelve weeks.
Half used a 20 percent vitamin C fluid, half a plain twin fluid. The paired group cut patch severity scores far more than light alone. Doctor ratings and pigment reads also favored the pair. Skin texture and pores improved more in that group too. No side effects appeared in either arm. Satisfaction hit 60 percent with the pair, against 22.55 percent without.
