2023.05.31 23:45 HannaXD20 Capitán Tsubasa V.S. Blue Lock

Capitán Tsubasa V.S. Blue Lock
Hola buenas tardes días o noches jaja.
Me vengo a reportar porque no puede ser que me acabo de enterar la gran polémica que prexiste en el fandom de Blue Lock es que es increíble de verdad.
¿COMO ES QUE ESTAN DISCUTIENDO PARA VER CUAL FUTBOL ES MEJOR.. QUE SI ES DE CAPITAN TSUBASA O EL DE BLUE LOCK?, La verdad es que a mi me parece un poco estúpido y obvio.. pero igualmente les voy a decir porque y metiendo un poco de mi punto de vista.
Veamos.. primeramente yo me he visto ambos animes así que si me cuestionan el "no tienes derecho a cuestionar ni opinar porque no los has visto etc etc" PUES lamento informarles que si, si los eh visto, así que me parece digno o mejor dicho justo.. que yo pueda revelar mi parecer sobre esta incógnita que seria ¿QUE FUTBOL ES MEJOR O SE ASEMEJA A LA REALIDAD?
Estamos todos de acuerdo de que de niños nos llenaban la cabeza "1 PARA TODOS Y TODOS PARA 1" Si les soy sincera.. siempre supe que era una estupidez ese dicho, ya que no me parecía nada lógico que yo me esforzara al máximo y que los inútiles de mis compañeros no hicieran nada ni vieran los deportes como los veo yo o un mínimo entusiasmo.. ellos decían "NO IMPORTA SINO GANAMOS TOTAL.. LA IDEA ES DIVERTIRSE" obvio que yo nunca me divertí en las derrotas y la verdad la gente que me apreciaba en esos momentos de vencimiento no me consolaban ya que PARA QUE ME DIGAN ESAS ESTUPIDAS FRACES MEJOR NO ME DIGAS NADA. Prefiero.. personalmente luchar sola en vez que acompañada por una banda de inútiles y buenos para nada. Es por eso, que cuando descubrí BLUE LOCK.. me sentí rápidamente identificada.. no como en los típicos animes o series deportivas como por ejemplo (sin ofender) Captain tsubasa me parece una absoluta.. digamos boludez, me lo vi entero claro, pero desde un principio no le vi sentido alguno, claro que si a usted o ustedes les gusta no hay ningún tipo de problema.. pero claro, ya cuando comparan de que CAPITAN TSUBASA ES MEJORRR QUE BLUE LOCK, me parece una rotunda idiotez.
Ya que claro, Blue Lock enfoca desde un ángulo totalmente distinto el Futbol a como lo hace el famoso anime/manga Captain tsubasa.
Cuando hablamos de ángulo o punto de enfoque, me refiero a como interpreta y expresa Blue Lock al futbol.. lo hace ver desde un punto sumamente egoísta y que no siempre hay que depender de tus compañeros para poder triunfar, como por ejemplo la frase "NUNCA DEJES QUE OTROS HAGAN ALGO POR TI SI LO PUEDES HACER", claramente no estoy diciendo que seas un goloso y te comas todas y absolutamente todas la jugadas que hayan en la cancha, sino que si tienes una oportunidad de gol, TU Y SOLAMENTE TU vas a ser el que tal vez llamen para jugar en otro club o simplemente te renueven o te otorguen un nuevo contrato en otro mejor club y así seguir creciendo y evolucionando como nos muestra Blue Lock.
Pero, la mayoría de espectadores interpretan mal el mensaje. ya que claro en Blue Lock te enseña a que tu destino no depende de las manos de otros.. sino que solo de las tuyas, y esta claro que un equipo lo conforma 11 personas (en este caso jugadores) , pero sino tienes poder de decisión y el poder de ver el futuro de tu mísera carrera ¿Cómo es que esperas triunfar en un mundo de egoístas?
Muy bien.. ahora plantéate este ejemplo: Les metieron gol así que saca tu equipo. Imagina.. tu equipo y el del rival van empatados. . Imagina que recorriste toda la cancha.. atravesando uno tras otro jugador hasta llegar al área de gol.. hasta que un compañero tuyo pide que se la pases.. Se la pasas ya que recordaste la típica frase de tu entrenador (Uno para todos y Todos para Uno), tu compañero remata a la portería y falla.. tu equipo pierde la ventaja suben todos los del equipo contrario a tu área y pierden el partidos de clasificación a los nacionales de tu pais .. ¿Cómo te sentirías al respecto..? ¿Frustrado tal vez? con la impotencia de que tu Y SOLO TU tuviste la oportunidad de haber desigualado el marcador y ganar con la diferencia de un gol.. pero no.. no lo hiciste y decidiste compartir el triunfo con tu compañero.. pero claramente no paso eso no?.. ya que perdiste.. Tus sentimientos y pensamientos te acosan durante un buen tiempo.. tanto así que empiezas a arrepentirte de haber actuado de esa forma.. de haber decidido pasarle el balón y la oportunidad de gol a tu mísero compañero.. y no tan solo eso.. sino que al pasarle la oportunidad de gol.. también le pasaste la oportunidad de triunfo de tu equipo y tuya..
Muy bien ajaja, yo ya hice mi parte al tratar de abrir tu punto de vista sobre las diferencias de estas grandes historias que nos trae el anime y el manga.. pero si sigues pensando de igual forma.. esta bien.. da lo mismo.. pero si nunca has vivido en carne propia la sensación de "Lo tuve que haber hecho yo " o "Si lo hubiera hecho yo hubiéramos ganado etc", no creo en mi mas sincero raciocinio.. que tengas derecho a opinar.
Claramente Capitán Tsubasa es una leyenda y tal vez una reliquia del anime.. pero recuerden.. LOS TIEMPOS CAMBIAN. Si no actualizas tu mente ahora ¿Cuándo lo harás.. dime?

¿Cuál es el mejor futbol?

Consulta: Me encuentro cotizando un notebook o PC, mi duda es en relación al Procesador.
Algún alma que pueda explicar diferencias entre Nucleo/Hilo y Líneas i3/i5/i7/i9
Ej. Qué es mejor, un Pentium con 4 nucleos/4hilos o un Intel i3 dual core
Mr. Google me dice que es debatible, por eso dejo la duda.

2023.05.31 23:38 deezdanglin So I had a thing done today

So I had a thing done today
Brief history: "The barber surgeon, one of the most common European medical practitioners of the Middle Ages, was generally charged with caring for soldiers during and after battle. In this era, surgery was seldom conducted by physicians, but instead by barbers, who, possessing razors and coordination indispensable to their trade, were called upon for numerous tasks ranging from cutting hair to amputating limbs." And it goes on from there...
All that to say, I decided to play with the tradition of our fore-barbers. My SOTD was Stirling Barber Shop with matching accoutrements. Before my vasectomy lol. Go forth and multiply my Brothers! I shall stand upon dry land.

2023.05.31 23:35 TheGoat_46 Merci pour tout, a bientôt

We leave with heavy hearts tomorrow to Ireland, our time in Biarritz is filled with great memories. 1, my wife and i went shopping in lidl last saturday, we had loads of bags in our hands and full rucksacks on our backs, (we are staying in Le Ruisseau) a very kind local woman and daughter stopped and gave us a lift, it was 32° and we were struggling. Thankyou whoever YOU ARE❤
2.Yesterday in Biarritz for my birthday we went to La plage de Biarritz...... wow the waves. While i was having fun, riding a wave i landed ontop of a young woman, i could tell she was shocked, i have very little french.. " pardon, je suis desole" is all i could say.
Thanks for the memories, bites and cuts 😎

2023.05.31 22:56 WalkingQuack A friend of my friend tagged on a Target pole in the parking lot.

So we went to Target and we’re finished shopping and started walking back to my car. Well I start putting my son in his car seat behind the passenger seat. Anyways as I’m doing this, the guy starts tagging on the pole. I don’t see any of it cause he is tagging right next to the drivers side, and I was putting my son in his seat. Anyways some lady parked across us, started telling him things for tagging, he then starts talking shit back to her. Well once he starts talking shit, that’s when she pulls out her phone to take a picture of my car plate. She was going on about how that’s not a good example for my son and I told her that I didn’t even see what was going on cause I was putting my son in his seat and also told her I can’t control the other guys actions or spank him. So I guess I’m just worried about getting in trouble, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I just wanna know how serious is this? If it helps, this happened in Pomona and I live in LA; so they’re two different counties.

2023.05.31 21:35 hypersays La homosexualidad es una enfermedad

Bueno, para empezar realmente no es que sra una enfermedad, solo me gusta decirles así justamente porque se que a esa gente les molesta y me gusta molestarles y romper lo políticamente correcto. Realmente está catalogado como un trastorno mental, y no es algo que me invente yo, sino que realmente lo investigue y lo es, éste está causado porque en el hipotálamo hay una pequeña parte del núcleo que se encarga de la reproducción, hromonas y todo éste tipo de cosas, y ésta presenta biformismo, o sease diferencias entré los dos sexos, el de los hombres es más grande y tiene más celulas mientras que el de las mujeres es más pequeño y tiene menos celulas. Lo que pasa con ésto es que la homosexualidad se casa por una malformación en esa parte causando que se deforme y creo un montón de problemas, lo primero es lo obvio provoca la homosexualidad por su deformación, y dependiendo de como se deforme hará una cosa o la otra, si el de un hombre tiene menos celulas, más parecido al de una mujer sera homosexual y si es más pequeño de lo que debería ser lo que provocará es que sea trans, y lo mismo con el de las mujeres, si tiene más celulas causa homosexualidad y si tiene un mayor tamaño provocará que sea trans, por esas cosas es más frecuente que si se presenta en hombres sean gays y en mujeres que sean bi. Por simplemente ésto ya me da asco el simple echo de la homosexualidad por que es un trastorno, un problema en el cerebro, pero es que además tiene muchos otros efectos dañinos, perjudica la capacidad de raciocinio de una persona y sobretodo la capacidad de socialización, por ésto no son personas normales, y son un problema para la sociedad, por que no pueden integrarse bien en ésta por lo que sufren, además de que por eso también me desagradan. También para finalizar, daña tanto el cerebro que hace que sean mucho más propensos a sufrir de otro trastornos y de verdaderas enfermedades mentales, especialmente psicosis y autismo entre otros, y es por ésto por lo que odio la homosexualidad, porque es un problema como cualquier otro que hace mucho daño a las personas, y lo que de verdad odio es encima el como lo trata la gente y ésta sociedad de mierda, como si fuera algo bueno o incluso mejor cuando no lo es, y solo perjudican a las personas por no tratarlo como se debería y a nuestra sociedad, idiotizandola de y haciendo que ahora toda estupidez tenga que ser aceptada en post de no ofender a mentes debiles, y al final ha provocado que sea nada más que otra puta moda y hasta una doctrina política que asquerosamente exprimen los políticos de izquierda para obligarnos a tragar con ello

2023.05.31 20:50 blocker92 ¿Qué ventajas a nivel de formación tiene la Fing por sobre la ORT?

Por supuesto, pueden negar por completo que tenga alguna ventaja si así lo consideran, así como también pueden afirmar que es exactamente al revés, que la ORT da una formación académicamente superior. Mi pregunta se debe a que, según leo, si bien la ORT parece ser reputada como muy buena, la Fing tiene un enfoque menos práctico pero más profundo. ¿Es realmente así? De serlo, ¿cuáles son las diferencias curriculares que la hacen más profunda o más completa?

2023.05.31 20:20 denso1982 Spotify gratis sin propaganda ni cortes.

Usá spotify sin poner un peso. Te deja saltear tracks, quita las publicidades (incluso las de música entre playlists), remueve "tendencias" y otras cositas buenas más. Lo unico que a algunos puede no gustarle es que la calidad de audio son 128 kbps y no 320 kbps como se supone en la version premium. La verdad, no noté mayor diferencia (lo digo luego de pasar por mi periodo "audiofilo" y tener toda una coleccion de musica en FLAC).
https://github.com/amd64fox/SpotX
Guía rapida:
1- Despliegan "Automatic full installation"
2- Click en "Install_Auto.bat" en donde dice: "Just download and run Install_Auto.bat"
3- Corren el "Install_Auto.bat" y responden las preguntas que hace el instalador.
NOTA: DEBEN TENER INSTALADA LA VERSION DESKTOP DE SPOTIFY Y NO LA DE LA MICROSOFT STORE.

2023.05.31 20:04 Mishistoriasdehorror Eso ya no es humano…

Hoy e decidido a atreverme a contarles esto ya no aguanto a este ser que vive en mi casa les contare todo des del comienzo para que tomen una idea de lo que me esta sucediendo.. Hace unos meces atras digamos unos 2 meces mi hermana mayor desaparecio ella tenia la acostumbre de irse a quedara a casa de sus [email protected] el fin de semana aun que mi mama le dijiera que no, en fin un viernes se fue ala casa de una amiga a ser una pijamáda según, mi mama ya le avía dicho que no fuera era demasiado tarde y las calles ya se ponían peligrosas comenzando desde las 9 de la noche, en fin ella salió y pues nada mas nos quedo esperar al día siguiente mi mama estaba inquieta pues me decía que tenia un mal presentimiento le dije “tranquila ama ya es costumbre que ella aga eso de todas formas siempre viene sana y salva ala casa, mejor duerma es malo que se quede despierta a tales horas.” Aun que me sonrió su cara se miraba angustiada me dio pesar pero ya no podia hacer nada mas entonces me fui a dormir. Al día siguiente me desperté por un llanto que provenía desde la sala de estar me diriji asia hay y vi a mi ma llorar y mi hermano la estaba consolando (solo somos mi mama, hermana mayor, hermano mayor, yo soy la menor) le dije que, que sucedía mi hermano me vio con cara de angustia y me dijo” mi hermana no regresa ala casa y ya es tarde.) en ese momento me quebre nosotros sabiamos que mi hermana siempre vuelve a casa alas 7 A.M y ya eran las 11 de la mañana mi ama se lo comento ala policía quienes comenzaron una emvestigasion mi ma se sentía desconsolada aun que mi hermana y yo le dicieramos que todo iba a estar bien, y claro la entiendo es duro perder a alguien que amas, semanas después vino un oficial a interrogarnos por alguna razon el ya abia interrogado a [email protected] de mi hermana y ya ninguno sabia nada de lo que estaba sucediendo y tambien interrogaron a la amiga donde mi hermana se iba a quedar esa noche ella dijo “es raro que me interroguen ami ya que ella nunca llego ami casa, si ella me abia dicho que iba a quedarse en mi casa ya que teniamos una pijamada planeada pero nunca llego aqui Nisiquiera el timbre de mi casa sonó ni una sola ves.” Mi ma no confiaba en esas palabras y se enojo y le dijo al oficial que se retirara de nuestra casa un mes después resivimos una llamada de la estación de policías nos dieron la gran noticia de que mi hermana avia aparecido mi mama de lleno de alegría que soltó tu celular y arranco asía la estación de policía cuando llegamos estaba hay sentada pero…. Por alguna razón mi sonrisa y alegría se desvaneció al verla. Se me vino una sensación de inquietud mi ma y mi hermano la abrasaron yo apenas le pude sonreír me miraba como si ella supiera que yo se que no es la misma persona y si esa persona no es mi hermana mi ma en todo el camino venia hablando de lo feliz que estaba por el regreso de ella pasaron semanas y yo cada ves mas notaba que no era ella 1 porque en las noches se levanta y va afuera no se adonde se dirige pero por el chirrido fuerte que ase la puerta se que sale de la casa 2 me queda observando fijamente cuando estamos comiendo juntas por las mañanas 3 no come la comida que a ella le encanta y que ordena por la noche cuando vemos películas juntas hay mas razones. Ya eran varias veces que me atrevo a decirle ami ma lo que pensaba de ella y como siempre tenia a misma respuesta de que estaba un como traumada que tubo un tiempo difícil y que le dará Tiempo y lo intente trate de darle tiempo pero no puedo ella no es mi hermana y estoy segura y mi hermano también esta siego no ven la diferencia entre esa persona y mi hermana. ase dos dias todas mis preguntas fueron respondidas todas esas dudas que tenia sobre si esa persona era mi hermana o no fueron respondidas, alas 4 A.M por la madrugada no podia dormir por los sonidos raros que provenían de la habitacion de mi hermana si esque se le puede decir asi… fui a ver que e lo que pasaba y como la puerta tiene una pequeña rajadura por la parte izquierda mire lo que estaba sucediendo fue lo peor que uviera echo en mi vida, vi como esa cosa se retorcía y soltaba pequeños gemidos de dolor esa cosa estaba prácticamente arrancándose la piel era como si tratada de estirar sus brazos y piernas estaba estirando su mandíbula y trataba de desgarrar su propia, me traume no podia ni mover las piernas por estar viendo tal escena esta tan aterrado que no podia ni parpadear por miedo a que me mirase casi no podía ni respirar apropiadamente con la poca fuerza que tenia lentamente me dirigía ami habitación estaba tan asustado que no dormí en toda la noche y ahora mismo todos estamos comiendo y se que esa cosa que esta comiendo en nuestra mesa no es mi hermana por el echo que cuando vi lo que hacia no tenia el tatuaje que se iso mi hermana cuando cumplió 15 son rosas rojas y ahora tengo miedo asta de asta ver esa cosa humanoide alos ojos…. Que pasara si un dia aparece mi cuerpo sin vida.

2023.05.31 19:38 dreamingofislay Feis Ile 2023 Day Five Bowmore & Ardnahoe Day Recap (5/31)

Feis Ile 2023 Day Five Bowmore & Ardnahoe Day Recap (5/31)
Back at it for Day Five of the Feis! Today's the first day split between two whisky distilleries, the island's oldest (Bowmore) and its newest (Ardnahoe). This doubling up is going to be happening more because several new distilleries are opening here (Port Ellen, Portintruan, ili, and Laggan Bay) in the next few years.

The Kinship tasting in a handsome back room of the Ardnahoe Visitor Center
  • Bowmore absolutely killed it in terms of fan service this year. Let's tick off why. First, one of the best swag bags of the week: mini-glencairn glass, lanyard, bung stopper coaster, little lock souvenir, carabinekeychain ring, and a postcard, all in a nice canvas bag. Second, although most of their tastings were bookable in advance, they kept a few slots and events for people to book on arrival, a real treat for those who couldn't snag a ticket online. Third, they had carnival games in the courtyard with nice prizes for winners, including a shuffleboard contest where the day's high scorer would win this year's Feis bottle.
  • And fourth, and most importantly, Bowmore had a killer dram bar that was exactly what I hoped Laphroaig would do yesterday. Everyone got two free dram tokens good for a Bowmore 12 or 15, but the real treat was the cash bar. Want to try the 2023 Feis bottle? 6 pounds. Beyond that, they had a "last drop" menu with prices between 5-15 pounds to try expressions from the last 15 years of Bowmore's history, including a 21-year Port distilled in 1988, an ex-bourbon 21-year-old from 1989, on and on. This is why real whisky lovers want to come to Feis: to try bottles they would never see, probably never even hear about, at home. Bravo on the tasting bar, and a clear win for Bowmore vs. Laphroaig among the Beam Suntory distilleries this year.
  • My only slight negative note is that Bowmore's facility isn't laid out very well for the festival which, fair enough, it's a working distillery, not a party hall. It just so happens that Laphroaig and Caol Ila have these big, wide-open spaces to allow people to congregate. Bowmore's is long and narrow, and around the back of the plant up against the sea, so it funnels people away from the bands and the live music.
  • It is well worth visiting Ardnahoe on this shared day. The distillery is a stark contrast to its older siblings: ultra-modern and sleek, with huge, airy spaces, reminding me more of a high-end winery in Rioja or Napa Valley. Even the stillhouse has floor-to-ceiling windows with a jawdropping view of the water and Jura. The gift shop has dozens of independent bottlings from all over Scotland thanks to Ardnahoe being owned by Hunter Laing. Probably the best single bottle shop on the island. And it may also have the best tasting bar; the menu is a leatherbound book with dozens of offerings and low prices. 5-7.5 pounds for 20-year-old-plus whiskies, which is unheard of, at least in the U.S.
  • Premium events on Feis Ile are often very good values. The Kinship tasting at Ardnahoe is a good example. Kinship is their annual release around festival time and consists of six old and rare expressions (this year's ranged from an unusually young Bruichladdich 18 to two 33-year-old Islay whiskies from Bunnahabhain and Caol Ila). While the ticket was pricey at 100 pounds, the bottles average over 500 pounds, close to 20 pounds per 25 ml pour. Doing the math, these six whiskies cost less per dram at the tasting than in the bottles.
  • Ardnahoe's own single malt is coming out next year for the first time. I asked them to describe it, and they said it's supposed to be "fruit forward, smoke second," peated to around 40 ppm so between Bowmore and the Ardbeg/Laphroaig/Lagavulin trio. Only Islay distillery to use worm tub condensers and with the longest still arms in Scotland, all enhancing the fruitiness of their spirit. So excited to try it next year and hoping a few bottles make it stateside.
  • We do do non-whisky events now and then! Today's was a pottery painting experience at Persabus Pottery, a small cottage shop that sells gorgeous painted pottery and also lets customers paint their own pre-made clay items, ranging from plates to tea kettles to small jugs. The cost of the experience is the cost of the item (most are in the 25-50-pound range; I did a 22.5-pound dinner plate) plus a 2-pound-per-person studio fee for the use of the paints and equipment. It's a serene interlude from a week of downing whiskies. This fun time is available year-round, so I highly recommend it. Here's my poor man's take on Machir Bay, before firing:

Machir Bay, interpreted by a truly horrific artist
  • The people here are so friendly it's unbelievable. I was hanging out in line before Bowmore opened and struck up a conversation with a couple who booked a holiday here not realizing it was Feis week. Turned out, they had tickets to a Laphroaig-run trivia night tonight and couldn't go, and they gave me the passes for free. I wish them good karma for the rest of their trip!
Another day of epic drams, and still a Laphroaig-fueled evening to go:
Bowmore Feis Ile 2023 18 y.o. - Pulled out of oloroso and PX sherry casks, this is a classic, strong example of Bowmore's distillery character. The kind of dram I'd have someone try if they wanted to understand what Bowmore aims to do. Sultanas, dried fruit, rich and sweet.
Kinship 2023 Bunnahabhain 33 y.o. - Another ex-bourbon Bunnahabhain, a rarity. Paul from Ardnahoe gave "heather honey" as a main note, and I'm not going to gainsay his description. It's a classic old ex-bourbon dram with waxy, fruity sweetness and a hint of fresh ginger on the finish.
Kinship 2023 Bruichladdich 18 y.o. red wine cask - By far the darkest dram on the table, and my wife's instant favorite. I called the nose chocolate milkshake; she said malted milk balls and root beer float. Point is: rich, dessert-like aromas, followed by an intense sweet, spicy, and tannic attack that's so characteristic of red wine-matured whiskies and almost resembles a cask-strength bourbon at times.
Kinship 2023 Highland Park 27 y.o. - My favorite of the day, with a chameleon of a nose that started out farmy and funky but transformed over about half an hour to apple pie. The palate was a little medicinal and complex, but the highlight was the finish that burst with floral and orchard fruit notes.
Kinship 2023 Caol Ila 33 y.o. - Just had an older, Douglas Laing Caol Ila 40 earlier in the trip, so it's interesting to try a Hunter Laing now. The two brothers who inherited the company from their father split it down the middle in the aughts, dividing the casks in half, so they have very similar bottlings. This one was a crowd-pleaser and won a survey of all tasting groups today as the collection favorite. Loads of lemon, and then a warming leathery/barbecue smoke on the finish.
Kinship 2023 Bowmore 27 y.o. - My second favorite, this had the most fantastic tropical fruit flavors of any whisky so far this week. Old Bowmore really leans toward that direction, and this one does it to the umpteenth degree.
Kinship 2023 Laphroaig 25 y.o. - The more Laphroaig I try, the more I'm reminded of why it's my favorite distillery. Its medicinal, maritime, yet sweet and fruity (as it matures) profile is instantly recognizable. This one didn't veer off the beaten path at all; could easily mistake it for an exceptional official bottling.
Slainte! Three days left: Kilchoman, Bunnahabhain, and Ardbeg. I wish I never had to leave.

2023.05.31 19:23 YourBrilliantLayer [Misc] A Comprehensive Guide to Hyperpigmentation and How to Treat it

Hey-Oh! So, I see some form of this question multiple times per day in various skin and personal care subs: How do I deal with my hyperpigmentation? I also asked myself this question a few years ago. See, I'm prone to freckles and a little melasma and I set out to figure out a way to solve it with years of research, trial and error, testing, talking to dermatologists and professionals, and scouring every medical article I could get my hands on. I wanted to share my findings and research since this is a common concern, especially among people in their 30s. This started as a small post about my routine and ballooned into a massive book about hyperpigmentation. I hope it's helpful!

Types of Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation refers to excess melanin production in the skin, but it can actually take a couple different forms. Knowing the type of hyperpigmentation you're experiencing is key to understanding if and how it can be treated.
Freckles: Freckles are incredibly common, especially for people with lighter skin tones. They are small, brown or reddish-brown dots often clustered on the skin. They develop on the surface and are not raised bumps. Freckles can appear anywhere on the body but are common on the face. Freckles are permanent, but the color, contrast and severity can vary and be tempered.
Melasma: Melasma appears as dark patches or splotches around the face, though usually found on the forehead, upper lip, and high on the cheeks. Melasma forms deeper in the skin and appears more amorphous than freckles, moles, or age spots. It can create a “muddy” appearance and is very common among pregnant and postpartum women due to hormonal factors. But it can literally happen to anyone and anywhere on the body.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) occurs when damaged skin forms melanin during the healing process leaving dark spots. This is common after acne, injuries, eczema, burns, and other trauma to the skin. Exposure to UV rays during healing can make PIH worse. Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) is similar, but leaves pink or red marks on the skin as a result of damage to the capillaries from injury or inflammation. Basically, when skin is compromised by injury, as part of the immune response cells will begin to generate melanin in an attempt to prevent further damage from UV exposure, so what will happen is the wound/legion/blemish will heal but the pigmented skin remains.
Age Spots: This is kind of a forgotten form of hyperpigmentation. Sun spots, also referred to as liver spots, and solar lentigines are large spots/patches of dark skin with distinct borders. They vary in color from light brown to almost black. They develop on the surface of the skin usually later in life, but reflect damage that often occurred from improper sun protection at a younger age. They can appear on the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms, usually on areas that had UV exposure. For many people, they can begin to appear in your 30s or 40s.

What Causes Hyperpigmentation?

There are a number of factors that can contribute to the formation of hyperpigmentation. Generally, it forms as the result of a combination of genetic and environmental influences. Everyone is unique, but these are some of the most common causes of hyperpigmentation and dark spots:
Genetics can play a role in the development of hyperpigmentation and dark spots in several ways:
Sun (UV) Exposure. In addition to genetic determination of melanin production, UV exposure is the leading environmental cause of hyperpigmentation and the formation of dark spots. Melanin is the pigment that provides color to our skin, hair, and eyes. It acts as a natural sunscreen (but don't treat it like natural sunscreen!!! This isn't the point of the exercise), absorbing UV radiation to protect the skin from damage.
When the skin is exposed to UV radiation, the melanocytes (cells that produce melanin) in the skin go into overdrive, producing more melanin to protect the skin from further damage. This increased melanin production can result in dark spots or areas of hyperpigmentation on the skin.
Hormones. In addition to genetic determination of melanin production, hormones and hormonal sensitivity is a leading internal cause of hyperpigmentation and the formation of dark spots. One of the most well-known examples of hormonal hyperpigmentation is melasma, a condition characterized by dark, amorphous patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. Melasma is often associated with hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy, hormonal therapy, or birth control pill use. The hormonal changes can stimulate an increase in melanin production, resulting in dark spots or areas of hyperpigmentation. This can happen irrespective of UV exposure, though the sun does exacerbate it.
Hormones can also affect melanin production by altering the skin's metabolism and pigmentation pathways. For example, high levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands during stress, can trigger an increase in melanin production, resulting in hyperpigmentation.
Inflammation, Injury & Trauma to the skin can result in hyperpigmentation by triggering an increase in melanin production. When the skin is inflamed or injured, it triggers a response from the body's immune system, which can stimulate an increase in melanin production as a protective measure. For example, acne breakouts or other skin injuries can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which is characterized by dark spots or areas of discoloration on the skin. The dark spots are a result of an increase in melanin production in the affected area, which occurs in response to the inflammation or injury. In addition to acne and other skin injuries, other conditions that can result in PIH include eczema, psoriasis, and insect bites.
Medication Side Effects. Certain medications can cause hyperpigmentation on the skin. Medications that can cause hyperpigmentation include:
If using these medications is necessary for your livelihood, it is not recommended to stop their use without the recommendation of your doctor.

How To Treat Hyperpigmentation Part 1: The Ingredients

When looking for skin care products to treat and prevent hyperpigmentation and dark spots, it's important to look for ingredients that can help encourage cell turnover, curb melanin production, and block harmful UV rays. A lot of these things overlap with treatments for other conditions like acne and general anti-aging, but I've noted ones that specifically work on the mechanisms controlling melanin production. Now, this is an extensive list, but I know it doesn't have everything. I've included the ingredients that had the most compelling evidence and/or worked the best for me or people at my practice. But it's also not necessarily a shopping list. You don't have to have all of these things to treat hyperpigmentation, but I'll get to that in the routine portion. This is more to be used as a tool that can help you diversify your routine if you find one ingredient or another doesn't work for you. And it can help you determine if a product targets hyperpigmentation based on its ingredients. There's lot's of options. Some of the key ingredients to look for include:
Retinoids that increases cell turnover. Retinoids like tretinoin, adapalene, retinol et al, can help treat hyperpigmentation by promoting the turnover of skin cells and increasing cell growth, which can help fade dark spots and improve overall skin tone by replacing pigmented skin cells at the surface. While retinoids are extremely effective, they do have some caveats. First, they can be sensitizing to a lot of users, but this can be tempered by using different form functions, different application methods, or different concentrations. Second, because it's constantly turning over skin exposing delicate new skin cells to the elements, it can actually worsen hyperpigmentation if you're not vigilant about sun protection and avoidance. Tretinoin and other retinoids are firewalled behind a prescription in some countries and may be more difficult to obtain. But retinol/al is available in OTC forms.
SPF represents a class of many ingredients designed to protect the skin from UV rays and the damage that occurs from exposure. UV exposure is one of the biggest causes of fine hyperpigmentation and wrinkles so adequate protection is essential. I know I'm not winning any science awards for this declaration, but a lot of people who struggle with hyperpigmentation aren't adequately protecting themselves from the sun. But you also have to be kind of realistic. Even with perfect protection and avoidance, sometimes your hyperpigmentation will still flare. This happens during the summer for a lot of people and something even I grapple with. The key is to do your best and SPF actually works well with numerous other ingredients (like the ones listed below) to help solve that problem. Arbutin is a Tyrosinase Inhibitor that blocks melanin production.
Arbutin, or the synthesized version called alpha arbutin, is a favorite brightening ingredient because it's a slow-release derivative of hydroquinone that inhibits melanin production. This results in both healing and prevention of dark spots, especially when paired with topical acids. It metabolizes on the skin into hydroquinone which is super effective for hyperpigmentation while being a less controversial and hard-to-come-by ingredient than pure hydroquinone. More on hydroquinone in part 6.
Tranexamic acid is another Tyrosinase Inhibitor. This was first used in wound care and it was found to have profound effects on hyperpigmentation. Although it's an acid, it's not a chemical exfoliant, kinda like how hyaluronic acid is not a chemical exfoliant. The exact mechanism by which tranexamic acid works to reduce hyperpigmentation is not fully understood, but it is believed to work by reducing inflammation by blocking plasmin which contributes to melanin production when unchecked. It is particularly effective in treating melasma and one of my personal favorite ingredients.
Kojic Acid is another Tyrosinase Inhibitor. Kojic acid is a natural skin brightener that is derived from various fungi. Kojic acid can also help to exfoliate because it's a slight chemical exfoliant, which can remove dead skin cells that contribute to hyperpigmentation and improve overall appearance. But it does both things: block melanin production and turn skin cells over. Azelaic Acid has a lot of things going for it that can help with hyperpigmentation. It's an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic that disrupts melanin production.
Azelaic acid works by inhibiting the production of melanin in the skin like those other tyrosinase inhibitors. In addition, azelaic acid also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which help to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin by reducing melanin production as a result of injury or inflammation. It's also an anti-acne ingredient that can address the root cause of PIH by reducing acne on the skin. It's pretty awesome and available in OTC and prescription strengths.
Niacinamide is another one that directly and indirectly addresses hyperpigmentation. It's a skin soother that decreases inflammation and it naturally reduces sebum production which can curb acne which can curb PIH. It actually took me a little while to figure out that this was another solid hyperpigmentation treatment for these reasons because I used to look at it as being more of an acne treatment. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that works by inhibiting the transfer of pigment within the skin, which can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. So while it doesn't block tyrosinase, it prevents transfer of pigmented skin cells to the surface.
Vitamin C aka L-ascorbic acid is an antioxidant that fights free radical damage. It treats and prevents hyperpigmentation in three ways. First, it reduces free radical damage from UV exposure which helps increase the effectiveness of SPF when worn together. Second, it is also a tyrosinase inhibitor that blocks melanin production. And finally, vitamin C encourages skin cell turnover. The key is finding a nice stable version of it.
Glycolic and Lactic Acid. Since this list is getting long I am going to group these together. Glycolic Acid is a water-soluble alpha hydroxy acid that penetrates into the pores to treat pigmentation by providing general exfoliation and resurfacing of the skin. The result is improvements in dark spots, texture and other signs of aging. Lactic Acid is also an AHA but with a slightly larger molecular size than glycolic acid so it doesn't penetrate as deep and acts more as a surface exfoliant. As a result it provides more gentle exfoliation to buff away surface pigmentation with an added benefit of acting as a humectant to seal moisture into the skin. Licorice Extract is a plant extract that inhibits melanin production.
Licorice root extract contains a compound called glabridin, which has been shown to have skin brightening effects as, you guessed it, a tyrosinase inhibitor. In addition, licorice root extract also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce redness and inflammation associated with hyperpigmentation. I'm seeing more and more of this pop up in skin care.
Soy Proteins are another plant extract that inhibits melanin production. They contain compounds known as isoflavones, which have been shown to help reduce the amount of melanin produced by melanocytes in the skin. Additionally, soy proteins have antioxidant properties that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to hyperpigmentation.

How To Treat Hyperpigmentation Part 2: The Routine and Recommendations

This is adapted from numerous comments, posts and DMs I've written on the topic and also comprises a large portion of my own personal routine and routines we recommend to patients. This is a generalist routine meaning it targets all the forms of hyperpigmentation I've mentioned; freckles, melasma, PIH, and age spots though it can be tweaked to address these individually more specifically. This is really my jumping off point for people to get a good idea of what they can achieve as a baseline with OTC ingredients before fine tuning or enlisting the help of a dermatologist. For a lot of people, this is enough to fully resolve, but even if it gets you part of the way there, this should give you a good idea of reactivity. A few caveats:
Alright, let's get to it!
AM routine -- The Goal: Heal, Protect, and Prevent. In order of application following a lukewarm water rinse:
The combo of C+AZ+AA+SPF is an absolute powerhouse for healing existing hyperpigmentation and preventing new hyperpigmentation from forming. It makes your SPF more effective, it inhibits the production of melanin from UV exposure (not your natural melanin production though), and it speeds cell turnover with dual antioxidant action and gentle chemical exfoliation. The result is brighter skin in a few months of consistent use.
For Azelaic Acid, this is the ingredient for serious treatment. It's considered one of the most effective ways to reverse melasma aka serious hyperpigmentation short of hydroquinone -- which is both controversial and hard to get. It brings a little bit of exfoliation to the table in addition to inhibiting UV melanin production, but it also has a slight antiseptic property which can help with acne. Paula's choice Azelaic Acid Booster is the only one I've really tried after sampling the Ordinary's in-store and not liking the texture. I get about 6 months out of a tube and a little bit goes a long way.
For Alpha Arbutin, the Ordinary's formulation is pretty solid. I prefer the Ordinary's AA 2% + HA as opposed to their AA 2% + Ascorbic Acid 8% as I don't believe the quality and stability of their Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is great. That's why I opt for a separate Vitamin C serum step. But the AA + HA also has a little bit of lactic acid in it which provides some gentle exfoliation and encourages AA deeper into the skin where it's more effective. Lactic acid is mild enough that it's safe for use in a morning routine, but you still want to protect with SPF. There are a couple AA products floating around but I think TO's product is probably the best, most straightforward one. Alpha Arbutin metabolizes into hydroquinone on the skin so is basically one of the best OTC pigment correctors you can get.
For Vitamin C, the gold standard really is Skinceuticals CE Ferulic. This is stupid expensive though so I’m going to suggest Timeless Vitamin C. I like that it comes in an airless pump that prevents oxidation over time. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that increases the rate of skin cell turnover bringing forward new, skin cells while simultaneously improving the effects of SPF. It's a great foundation for a fix.
These ingredients can be layered on one right after the other then topped with your moisturizer (I like a basic one like cetaphil daily lotion), then topped with your SPF. The SPF I would recommend is Canmake UV mermaid gel in clear as this will not leave a white cast on your skin and it’s generally a very elegant SPF. It's SPF 50 which means it gives really good protection, but there are numerous SPFs you can try. I personally like anything from La Roche Posay, any Neutrogena SPF that's not formulated with ethylhexylglycerin, Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, Biore Aqua Rich (another Japanese brand), Trader Joe's SPF if you can get your hands on it, and EltaMD.
Of all the products I’ve tried that could act as a stand-in for vitamin c, azelaic acid, and alpha arbutin, there’s one Japanese serum from Hada Labo called “whitening lotion” which has had the biggest impact on my hyperpigmentation in a single product of anything I’ve tried. This might be a little too effective though, I actually find that it washed me out within the first 2 weeks of twice daily use, so now I only use it in the morning. And I’m not a fan of the translation… which is a direct but mistranslation. It’s not a bleaching lotion, it also relies on a form of vitamin C and tranexamic acid to brighten skin. But it's a really interesting to try if you wanted a simplified morning routine in which case I would apply this, then your moisturizer, then your SPF.
PM routine -- The Goal: Renew and Reveal. In order of application:
To cleanse, I have a really basic recommendation that will remove your SPF, makeup, and any grime/sebum from your day. Start with Cetaphil gentle cleanser. This is a gentle, hydrating cleanser that will break up your SPF really effectively. Massage in and rinse. Then apply a foaming cleanser, I recommend Cetaphil daily cleanser which foams. This will sweep away anything that’s left and give you a good foundation for the rest of your routine. While this doesn't directly help hyperpigmentation specifically, it's a critical step especially for people who are acne>PIH prone. It also gives you a nice clean slate to apply the rest of your skincare. I've tried dozens of cleansers but always come back to these two as good basic options.
For your Buffer this is an important step that can be done prior to using a chemical exfoliant or retinoid: applying an occlusive that will block the active from more sensitive skin. I recommend buffering around your eyes and nostrils with La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm because it kind of doubles as a nice eye cream, but this can also be done with basic vaseline or aquaphor for a more budget-friendly option.
For Tranexamic Acid, my holy grail TXA product, La Roche Posay Glycolic B5 is actually a multipurpose serum that combines ingredients to treat hyperpigmentation with chemical exfoliants. It contains two hyperpigmentation heavy hitters -- Tranexamic acid and Kojic Acid which are great for melasma -- and two exfoliants -- Glycolic Acid and Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA) which is like fancy salicylic acid -- so it both reveals new skin cells that are less prone to pigmenting from UV exposure while sloughing away your old skin cells. You can use this 2 or 3 nights per week. On off nights, just cleanse and moisturize.
For a Retinoid if you can get prescription tretinoin, this is going to be the best bet. Your doctor will advise you on the concentration. More on that in part 6. It will help speed up the rate of cell turnover bringing new, unpigmented skin cells to the surface faster. Some other OTC options include differin (which is rated more for acne but uses the same mechanism for cell turnover so it's also effective in this use case) and retinols. Now, I haven't tried every retinol on the market but I have two that I stand by: SkinCeuticals retinol and L'Oreal retinol serum. The SkinCeuticals is, in my opinion, the closest to RX tretinoin in terms of efficacy, but it's a little pricey. The L'Oreal also does a really good job and is a little more affordable. It's currently my go-to OTC on the days I'm not using my RX retinoid tazarotene. You can use this 2 or 3 nights per week. On off nights, just cleanse and moisturize.
** My recommendations for tranexamic acid and retinoids CANNOT be used in the same night. You'll nuke your skin. And for most people, both aren't necessary, you can get away with using one or the other. If I had a preference, I would say use the TXA serum instead of a retinoid, but if you can build up a tolerance to using them both without damaging your barrier, they work really well together. So, proceed with caution. If you want to use both, use them on alternate nights and give yourself a night or two without either to let your skin recover. For me personally, I do retinoids on Sundays, and Wednesdays, chemical exfoliants on Mondays and Thursdays, and I let my skin rest (cleanse, moisturize, squalene oil) on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
On top of whichever active you choose, apply your moisturizer. You can use the same one you use in your morning routine, the Cetaphil daily lotion as it’s nice and light. I also like La Roche Posay Toleraine double repair for a ceramide-based cream alternative if you want something richer.
You do not want to "slug" over actives. This advice gets mixed in a lot. Slugging refers to applying an occlusive layer over your skincare such as vaseline, aquaphor, oils like squalene oil, or healing balms like La Roche Posay Cicaplast balm. While this can be done on hydration nights, it should not be done on nights when you're using chemical exfoliants or retinoids as this may make them too effective causing irritation and breakouts.

Body Hyperpigmentation

Ok, I need everyone to be a grownup for two seconds. These products and methods (both from the prior section and this section) should NOT be used on your genitals. First, you can cause serious irritation or infection by applying active skincare to your genitals. Second, it's really not going to do anything to change the pigmentation of the skin there. The skin on your genitals is different than your body and facial skin and it pigments in different ways for different reasons so it's not going to respond to topicals the same way the rest of your body does. Don't even try it.
To be perfectly clear, these are the areas you should not be applying skincare: labia majora, labia minora, vaginal entrance or vagina, clitoral hood, perineum, anus, intergluteal cleft aka inside your butt crack, penis, or scrotum. And I say this as someone who chaffed the precipice of her "intergluteal cleft" in an unfortunate crunches-in-the-wrong-gym-shorts accident leaving me with some deeply incriminating hyperpigmentation and earning me the nickname "skid mark" from my ever loving boyfriend. It faded after a year but you can still send prayers.
These are areas you can apply skincare but do so with absolute caution and at your own risk: bikini line, mons pubis, inner thigh up to the groin fold, butt cheeks. Ok, now that we've got the disclaimers out of the way, let's move forward.
Hyperpigmentation can also occur on body skin for the same reason it appears on the face, but it can also be triggered by friction. And because body skin is different from facial skin, it requires a slightly different approach. This is my recommendation for both hyperpigmentation and KP (Keratosis pilaris) because they rely on the same mechanism for treatment: chemical exfoliation.
In the case of body hyperpigmentation, I recommend a two prong approach: a body wash in the shower and a topical treatment to be used after. Oh, and SPF again if there are areas that are exposed to the sun, and I have a holy grail SPF recommendation for this.
Now you may have noticed in my facial skin recommendation that I did not mention CeraVe as a treatment brand. I have posted numerous takedowns of CeraVe on other threads so I won't rehash them here suffice it to say that it's no longer a brand I can in good faith recommend since it's acquisition by L'Oreal. This is often the brand that's considered when treating KP on the body, but I don't believe their formulations and ingredient quality works for everyone.
For the body wash, I recommend Neutrogena body clear with Salicylic acid. This is an exfoliating body wash that will help clear away dead skin cells on the surface allowing new ones to come through. To be effective, you want it to sit on your skin for a little while. I recommend lathering it up and applying it after turning off your shower faucet and letting it sit for 2 or 3 minutes. This is when I like to knock out shower emails. Then rinse away.
On towel dried skin after your shower, apply AmLactin Bumps Be Gone. Again, this is formulated for KP but the reason I like it is because it contains lactic acid which will also give the assist on brightening hyperpigmented body skin. The wash and this should be effective, but you might also want to mix in a few drops of the alpha arbutin serum I recommended for your facial routine, maybe three drops per application area (each leg, each arm, chest, etc). I generally don't encourage facial products on the body because it's not an economical use for them, and also because body skin is a little more resilient and doesn't need skincare that's formulated for more sensitive facial skin. The AA serum from the Ordinary is very affordable however and is a good hyperpigmentation generalist.
Another one that I mentioned in the facial hyperpigmentation portion that can work well on the body is the Hada Labo whitening lotion. Again, this is formulated around tranexamic acid which is very effective for hyperpigmentation and a little bit if this stuff goes a long way. I buy it in bulk from Japanese Importers though it's also available on Amazon for a slightly higher price. If you find yourself in Asia, stock up on it. I use this specifically for fading tan lines that happen (even with diligent/neurotic SPF use) around my fitness watch and the straps of my workout tops that I run in.
You also want to wear SPF on areas that are exposed to the sun to prevent pigmentation from occurring. The one I absolutely love that’s not your 90’s banana boat is Aveeno Protect + Hydrate lotion with SPF 60. This is a great SPF for a lot of reasons: it finishes like a lotion instead of a sunscreen, it dries down totally clear, and it has a pleasant, slight sweet scent. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being bare skin, 10 being banana boat slathered on by your mom in 1997, and regular body lotion being a 2, I give Aveeno Protect + Hydrate a 2.5 in terms of texture and feel-finish. I use it as my daily lotion on my neck, arms, shoulders, and chest. If you're more active you might need a heavier hitter here like a sport sunscreen.

Nuclear Options

In general, I recommend trying OTC topical solutions for any skin concern before heading down the in-office procedure route. Part of this is because you can usually put a good dent in what you're struggling with by using OTC topicals, making in-office procedures and RX treatments easier and more effective. Part of it is so you have a good maintenance routine in place to use after the fact to preserve the results of your in-office procedure which can sometimes be costly. Lastly, while some procedures can solve the immediate problem completely, topical skincare can be really effective at treating other adjacent conditions like redness, acne, and fine lines.
Side note: I haven't listed every possible compounded medication because there are a lot, and many compounded meds are formulated to tackle multiple issues like acne and hyperpigmentation. I also tend to favor single note skin care (aka, products with very few ingredients) as this allows you to combine or remove certain actives and gives you a better sense of reactivity.
For tougher-to-treat hyperpigmentation such as melasma, if your topical routine doesn't totally clear the problem in 6 to 8 months, a visit to the dermatologist might be helpful. Here are the heavier-hitting procedures and topicals that can go the extra mile after you've exhausted other options.
Medical Grade Peels: Medical grade chemical peels can be done by dermatologists. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or phenol peels may be done for cases of severe hyperpigmentation, but high concentration BHA or AHA peels are also commonly used. I do these twice a year. Because of the strength of the acids used, these must be done by a medical professional with careful followup.
***IPL Therapy and Laser Therapy may not work for everyone and in some cases may exacerbate hyperpigmentation so you really want to work with dermatologists with a lot of experience in treating cases similar to yours to determine if these interventions are appropriate for you.
IPL Treatment: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy can treat hyperpigmentation by targeting the melanin in the skin with a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, heating and breaking the melanin down. IPL is particularly effective for treating sun damage and age spots, as well as other forms of hyperpigmentation. The treatment is relatively non-invasive, with minimal downtime, making it a popular option. This is also a great treatment for the redness associated with enlarged blood vessels (often confused for broken capillaries) on the surface of the skin which can also appear alongside hyperpigmentation. There isn't any clinical evidence to support at-home IPL devices being effective in the same way. That doesn't mean it's not possible, it's just not studied enough to be certain. Most at-home IPL devices do not operate in effective wavelengths the way professional grade ones do.
Laser Therapy: Fractional and CO2 lasers can be used to treat a range of hyperpigmentation issues, including sun damage, age spots, and melasma. The treatment works by removing the top layers of skin, which contain the excess pigmentation, revealing fresh, healthy skin cells underneath. The lasers also stimulate the production of collagen, which helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Hydroquinone: This isn't an in-office procedure like the aforementioned treatments, but it is firewalled behind a prescription meaning you can only access hydroquinone in effective concentrations by working with a doctor. This is a somewhat new development at least in the US following some covid-era rejiggering of prescription clearances. HDQ is controversial because it's a skin bleaching agent which has some cultural implications in places where light skin is favored over natural pigmentation. HDQ technically works the same way other OTC tyrosinase inhibitors do (in fact arbutin actually metabolizes into HDQ when applied to the skin), pure HDQ happens to be the most powerful version of them. It lightens any skin it touches, not just hyperpigmented skin in higher concentrations which can make it tough to use. This effect isn't as profound in the other tyrosinase inhibitors I mentioned making them much easier to use over HDQ which, in high concentrations, must be dotted on the skin in only hyperpigmented areas. So HDQ is really reserved for intervention in extreme or OTC treatment-resistance cases.
Tretinoin and Prescription Retinoids: This is going to be dependent on what part of the world you're in, but in a lot of countries, tretinoin and its counterparts like tazarotene are only available through prescription. I mentioned retinoids in the routine so if you're able to get your hands on a prescription from a doctor, it may be more effective than OTC retinols. Most doctors will prescribe a retinoid over hydroquinone, so this is usually easier to procure and can be quite effective on its own as a hyperpigmentation treatment. OTC differin is the only retinoid available over-the-counter (in the US) which can also be used for hyperpigmentation.
Prescription Azelaic Acid: This is another one that's available in lower concentrations over-the-counter (which can still be quite effective) but there are prescription strength grades of azelaic acid. This is usually reserved for rosacea treatment as it tends to target redness and flushing, or as an acne treatment because of its antiseptic properties, but it can also be an effective hyperpigmentation treatment for its tyrosinase-inhibiting ability.
If you made it this far, congratulations! I hope this information is helpful. While it is extensive and based on massive amount of research, experience, experimentation and work with professionals, it may not be perfect and it may not be suitable for everyone. Feel free to offer any constructive criticism or ask any questions in comments. I am always open to expanding my understanding.

2023.05.31 19:14 Intelligent_Spell_79 Debería preguntarle a mi novio lo que está bien y lo que está mal?

Yo mujer de 30 años, estoy en el espectro, no mucho porque soy funcional por mi cuenta actualmente, pero trato de ver las cosas como una máquina, no entiendo a las personas, chistes, sarcasmo o jugueteos y debido a mi tan tarde diagnóstico, apenas empecé el proceso de adaptación a los 17 años, la vida ha sido dura.
También debido a un hogar disfuncional tengo muy distorsionado lo bueno de lo malo, ahora que estoy más adaptada siempre me manejo en analizar una situación y lo determinó en base a lo racional, pero no siempre sale bien.
Tengo un novio (34 años) desde hace unos años, el cual conoce toda mi trayectoria y dice que no salí tan mal para el hogar donde me crié en comparación de mi familia, entiende que me cuesta encaminarme o tomar decisiones por los errores del pasado y no me gusta ser señalada de anormal.
Cómo él es mi persona de confianza, siento que puedo preguntarle, solo para saber su opinión.
Lamento extenderme tanto, ahora a la situación, le pregunté sobre una duda que tenía, ya sabía ligeramente que debía hacer solo quería que me diera su opinión.
Y me empezó a regañar, dijo que no entendía como no podía ver algo tan claro, que si que pasaba conmigo, que no me entendía, que no sabía que estaba tan mal.
Siempre le he dicho que no ocupa regañarme, que soy un adulto y entiendo con palabras, que si no me quiere decir que lo diga, y si quiere responder este tranquilo y breve, que no le quitaré tiempo, a diferencia de lo que es un regaño.
En fin, ya esa misma tarde, él estaba bien, y yo no estoy enojada, solo genuinamente triste porque pensé que podría confiar en él para hablar cualquier cosa o duda, ahora no se que sentir.
Quizás nunca debí preguntarle sobre cosas del sentido común y decisiones.
Ocupo alguna perspectiva por favor.
