Marilyn Pelias, MD

I really let Shana (esthetician) & Dr. Marilyn Pelias persuade me on using hydroquinone on my face. They told me that it would work best on my face because it is a highly potent clinically pharmaceutical formulation from Dr.Pelias herself. I am so DISAPPOINTED in letting these ladies fool me. The $95 ageless fading cream (which you cannot REFUND OR RETURN) darkened my skin even more!!! I use Elta MD sunscreen LITERALLY EVERYDAY & REAPPLY. I am a skin type 6 & just wanted to lighten only the areas of my skin that was affected from acne. It's been two weeks & my face is a shade DARKER!!! I'm rarely in the sun because I know that I am using hydroquinone on my face. I'm just so disappointed in myself . I knew using hydroquinone is dangerous especially researching & watching other black women explaining their stories on social medias & YouTube how doctors & estheticians push this agenda that it is allegedly safe for black women or any women from skin type 4-6. It is not safe nor healthy for anyone. I knew I was getting played especially in this office. I really wanted to TRUST them with MY SKIN troubles because of their good reviews & I thought they were different from the rest of the other offices in New Orleans. Unfortunately, they are all the same & better at persuading you, but don't genuinely help. Women of color please don't fall in the same mistakes, just use natural products that's more reliable than going to the doctors office. At least it's natural & safe for our skin type.
