Melasma is a very common aesthetic problem which is sometimes very refractory to remove. Typically it gets worse during the summer and better during the winter. There are many different creams and treatments for melasma removal. Melasma is not only the pigmentary disorder, but it is also a combination of the hyperpigmentation and capillaries. Under Wood lamp examination of the place of melasma, we saw an increased number of the capillaries. If we want to remove melasma successfully, we must also act on the capillaries in order to remove them. We should speak about vascular and nonvascular melasma according to the capillaries. Before the treatment, we must determine the type of melasma and adjust the therapy. We want to represent the creams based on the butylresorcinol for the melasma removal.For the first time, there is a cream for vascular and nonvascular melasma. The butyl-resorcinol in combination with the tranexamic acid successfully removes capillaries also. The results are seen mostly after only 7 to 10 days of use and can be compared with the results of the Pico laser. It\’s very important that cream is suitable for any skin type and can be used during the summer.
