Tranexamic Acid

[ Edited ]

I am thinking about trying this for hyperpigmentation, any users here ? Do you use 5% or 10%, any particular brands? I prefer made in USA or Korea, nothing made in China, thanks. Right now I have my eye on Tree to Tub from Korea, has a lot of extra ingredients, all good.

Have you checked Musley? It's prescription but you do the doctor visit online and they mail you the product. I've been using the spot cream since January and my face looks so much better. It took my hyperpigmentation from dark to barely there.

@Shelbelle  - I've been using this product and like it.  It has 3% Tranexemic Acid, so it's right in the middle of acceptable concentrations, plus some other known lighteners.

@Shelbelle  - I've been using the same serum that @JeanLouiseFinch mentioned and like it a lot.

Inkey has one also that is a blend and a low concentration, but I was thinking of one with at least 5%, I just want it as a spot remover as a target treatment, not all over the face. I could mix some in a body cream too for my dark spots on legs and arms. Thanks for all the replies. I think I have other products from Cos RX I may have gotten from I Herb.  Tree to Tub is also Korean. Some brands on amazon sound good but I dont know their origin and amazon does not give the info, and not disclosed on the co. websites either. Right now amazon has 30% off on Tree to Tub

You're welcome, @PamfromCT.  I wish you success with it.  Just be patient, as it takes some time, but you should see results before you finish the bottle.
