Melasma can be managed with serums containing ingredients that help lighten pigmentation and even out skin tone, such as tranexamic acid, vitamin C with niacinamide, or kojic acid.
🩺 Choosing the Best Serum for Melasma
- Tranexamic Acid 3% Serum is effective in reducing melasma by inhibiting pigment production and is often recommended for persistent pigmentation.
- Vitamin C (10%) with Niacinamide helps brighten skin, reduce dark spots, and improve overall skin tone; it also provides antioxidant protection. The Pilgrim 10% Vitamin C Face Serum with 5% Niacinamide is a good option, showing benefits in brightening and spot reduction within days.
- Kojic Acid 2% Serum also helps lighten pigmentation but may be more irritating for sensitive skin.
🏥 Recommendations
- Start with a serum that suits your skin sensitivity; vitamin C with niacinamide is generally well-tolerated and beneficial for melasma.
- Use sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily to prevent worsening pigmentation.
- Avoid harsh scrubs or excessive sun exposure.
