Tranexamic Acid 5% Serum with Niacinamide 5% for Face/Neck - Helps to Reduce the Look of Hyper-Pigmentation, Discoloration, Dark Spots, Remover Melasma, 1 Fl Oz (30ml)

Worked for me

I have been using this serum for 3 weeks in the morning and at night. I’ve had melasma since my last pregnancy over ten years ago and it gets worse after being in the sun and during the hot seasons. I came back from vacation and had lots of brown spots on my cheekbones despite wearing a hat. In the past I had success with a product that’s no longer available over the counter because the active ingredient has been band in the USA except by prescription (hydroquinone). I searched for a good product with a high percentage of tranexamic acid and niacinamide and this has both at 5% which is the highest I found of each. I really don’t want to pay to see a dermatologist at this point unless I have to.As you can see in the picture the serum is nice and thick enough to stay in a blob on your finger unlike another inexpensive brand’s serums that fall through your fingers like water.This serum is thick but still light. It soaks into the skin easily. I have sensitive skin and it doesn’t bother me at all. It does not pill under other creams or makeup. It’s very moisturizing. Most importantly, it’s making a big difference already after three weeks!! The skin has lightened and is looking much brighter in general. I will finish the bottle and report back!Pros:InexpensiveLightSoaks inDoesn’t pull under creams or makeupNot stickyGreat for dry skinGreat for sensitive skinMakes a visable difference in 2 weeks5% active ingredientsNice bottle and dropperSafe ingredientsCons:It won’t make dark spots disappear as fast as a prescription cream wouldIt’s so light it seems almost too lightNot instant resultsTips: use glycolic acid every 3 days. Tretinion will also help but is prescription only. Retinol is a good substitute. Hydroquinone works faster but is prescription only and expensive, it also has health risks and you shouldn’t use for more than three months as a time. My advise is to start with this serum first before deciding if you need to spend the money. It’s working for me, so happy to have found it!

I haven't been using this long enough to comment on whether it works for pigmentation. But I can tell you that it pills up worse than any other product I have ever used. You can NOT use this during the day. It cannot be applied with any other product. It will pill immediately. And when I say pill, I mean PILL. Remember when you were a kid and you put Elmer's glue on your hand and let it dry then peeled it off ? That's the kind of pilling I'm talking about, like big visible chunks. Like fully seizes and rolls up and right off your face at the slightest touch. Like, gotta go wash your whole face and start all over kind of chunky pilling. I'd say you could apply it at night, with nothing else and not touch your face and maybe get the use out of it that way? But in no other way is this product practical to use due to the pilling.

I feel like a lot of hyperpigmentation products do not work but I have used this consistently and found a lot of relief from it. The key is the tran acid.Buy it today!!

My skin is pretty sensitive (use La roche posay), combination with oily T-zone, very occasional pimples from diet or hormones which leaves dark marks. This serum has been helping those stubborn marks go away slowly but surely. This is only incorporated in my morning skincare routine. I don’t wash my face, use toner, then this serum, then vitamin c, then sunscreen. I am noticing a difference with this product with vitamin c! Only issue is that it’s slightly tacky and if you use too much of it on your skin at once if may pill. Definitely will repurchase as a holy grail skincare item!

From reading the other reviews, I was expecting to have to use this for a while to see results. After just a few days, my PIH marks are SIGNIFICANTLY lighter; like barely visible at all. I think they'll be faded all the way soon. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle!

A favorite! Effective for reducing hyperpigmentation. Non irritating. Also contains moisturizing ingredients. Works amazingly in conjunction with Azelaic acid to fade PIE and PIH.
