I believe it does. After three years of drinking white wine excessively(daily) when prior to barely drink. melasma started to come out. Even with my two pregnancies -I NEVER had melasma. As I got more depressed with my skin-I drank even more and the melasma got worse!!! My melasma is severe-it has affected my confidence greatly. I have wearing all that make up. I just stare at people and i am amazed at how perfect their skin looks. I am just now realizing the connection between the white wine and melasma(I also have adult acne) which i never had(not even as a teenager) Well, goodbye wine-hello healthy skin!

What is Melasma?

Hello, I see you are asking "What is melasma?" Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or blue-gray patches or freckle-like spots. It's often called the “mask of pregnancy.” Melasma happens because of overproduction of the cells that make the color of your skin. It is common, harmless and some treatments may help.

What creams would be helpful to control or treat melasma?

The exact causes are unknown, but there are genetic factors at work, and melasma is made worse by exposure to sunlight. It is very important for people with melasma to use sunscreen. There is no real cure for melasma at the moment-- just management. Creams that contain lightening agents (for example hydroquinone, kojic acid, and retinoids) may be helpful in treating melasma, as may chemical peels or laser therapy. Azeleic acid may help control but not cure melasma. It has a skin brightening affect that may help fade dark marks but it is not generally the first line treatment.
