10 · Questions

Common questions answered.

Does this work on melasma?
Melasma responds to our Tranexamic Acid + Niacinamide approach — both target melanin at different stages of production. Hormonal melasma is managed, not cured, so ongoing use delivers the best results. Our specialist team can design your maintenance plan.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Our formulas are acid-free, retinoid-free, and fragrance-free. Generally considered safe, but always consult your doctor during pregnancy. Our specialist team can review your full routine via WhatsApp.
Why Tranexamic Acid instead of Vitamin C?
Standard Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) oxidises quickly in SEA humidity and requires low pH formulas that sensitise skin. We use 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (stable, neutral pH) paired with Tranexamic Acid — a clinically stronger brightening combination for Asian skin.
Do I need to wear SPF?
Yes — always. Our formulas prevent new pigmentation from forming, but SPF is essential to stop UV from overriding that work. SPF30 minimum every morning.
Which kit should I start with?
Pigmentation — especially melasma — responds best to sustained treatment. The 28-Day Cycle gives Tranexamic Acid enough time to measurably shift tone. First-time users can start with 07 to assess skin response before committing.
