Hey guys and welcome to today's video where i wanted to share with you the ultimate combination treatment for hyperpigmentation.. I would love to know your thoughts on either of these treatments and if they worked for you so leave me a comment below.. Love you all so much x
I just received the Inkey list Azelaic acid based solely on your short because it wasn’t discussed anywhere. It wasn’t even on the Inkey list instagram and I must say I think it’s better for my skin than the facetheory lumizela. It has less ingredients for my sensitive skin to react to.
Love both these ingredients. My go to products are from Cos De Baha, Tranexamic 5% serum and Azelaic 10% which are more easily accessible here. However at the moment I am enjoying new products from the Uk, Ft Exaglow serum and G&G aPad and of course MAS serum! I use all three twice a day without any problems. I notice my hyperpigmentation the most when driving home in the afternoon sun after a long day at work., but the other day I caught sight of my self in the mirror and thought “hey girl your skin is looking good!” I don’t have a lot of hyperpigmentation but my skin just looks clearer and more even toned. I’m happy with this combo ❤️
Exactly what I needed! I’ve been using azelaic acid for a little over a month now. It has been helpful with acne. I haven’t seen much change in my hyperpigmentation which is fine. I’m giving myself a few months. I just bought tranexamic acid and I now know how I can pair these two. Thank you!
I've been using the superdrug Me+ tranexamic acid - perfect price and soaks in nicely. I've been using the ordinary azelaic acid but it doesn't layer well. So I've ordered the MAS set today 😊😊😊😊
@@itsruckaswife7036 back then it was the madaboutskin cleanser, serum & moisturiser! There are now a few more in the range. However the 5% azelaic acid in the serum is now my staple morning and night.
I have been so impressed with tranexamic acid for my melasma. I get it in my custom formula from Curology, which has 5% tranexamic acid, 4% niacinamide, and a tiny concentration of tretinoin at 0.009%. Since that’s less than half the usual beginner’s concentration of tretinoin, so I credit a lot of the benefits I’m seeing to the tranexamic acid 💜💜💜
@@jenessastrickland1555 Mine is PIH, most of it a decade or more so it is stubborn. It has helped a lot with clearing up the newer spots and fading the ones that I get a lot faster. I can’t claim to be acne prone anymore, but I do still get blemishes on my chin and cheeks, plus clogged pores and sebaceous filiments that are only responsive to salicylic acid.
Hi Sarah, Rob did his morning skincare routine about four weeks ago. And his evening, antiaging skincare routine a week or so before that. You can go to his UA-cam page and find these videos. These were great videos!!
I need to try this combo as soon as I finish my re:pigment! I'm trying to cut down on products in my bathroom, so I will just need to be patient till I'm all out 😂 Thank you for the video!
This is amazing!!! Thank you so much for this video I’m really excited to try this as I’ve been experimenting on my own for my hyperpigmentation, and frankly it can be so discouraging to not see results or the spots fade after a long time
I have been looking at tranexamic acid for a while now. It sounds like an amazing active ingredient. I have been focusing on using alpha arbutin, niacinamide and ascorbyl glucoside for my dark spots. These actives are the most gentle for my dehydrated skin. We are lucky there are so many actives that help with hyperpigmentation and melasma. We just have to be patient and WEAR sunscreen religiously!!❣️❣️ (I ordered the B of J sunscreen today!!🥰❤️)
I've been liking the Good Molecules discoloration serum - it has tranexamic acid and a low % of niacinamide. It seems to layer pretty well with my other products.
@@medacat1 Hi Emily! I have been loving the Good Molecules niacinamide and Overnight Exfoliating Treatment. The discoloration serum is next on my list. Thank you for the recommendation♥️♥️
I look forward to trying azelaic acid. After a couple of years, tranexamic acid hasn't budged my hyperpigmentation, which is mostly the result of sun damage and melasma.
Saw that topical trranexamic acid at or above 5% shows more significant results. I wanted to get the JJ Labs version with all of the other anti-hyperpigmentation ingreidents, but none of the values are listed. I know 2% is one brand may be better than another brand of the same concentration, but this is key for determining efficacy and avoiding skin reactions.
I'm dying to try the Topicals Faded Serum, but haven't found it available anywhere in the UK yet and the Topicals website doesn't seem to ship to the UK. Do you know if there is a magical mystery way to get hold of it here in the UK, or find it somewhere that ships to the UK? I've seen this serum mentioned quite a few times now and I must have it :).
Great video Rob! As much as I’m interested in tranexamic acid, I am more interested in kojic acid and seeing what it will do for my areas of hyperpigmentation…. Your exfoliating gel can’t come soon enough. ❤️❤️
Dear Sensei Rob, Perhaps a good video would be the actives that are/and are not availble in various regions and why.I know this is beyond the scope of your 'expertise' but a big chunk of us are frustated by some of your recommendations, without knowing why we can't get them. smooch.
Thanks Rob I found a tranexamic acid in Superdrug but it’s only 2.5% does that mean it’s pretty pointless? I already have A pad so im so pleased to hear they can be mixed/layered, and that I can follow with my Dermatica tret Super vid ❤
What can I use to maintain an even skin tone in the event my hyperpigmentation has cleared? I'm afraid of something that will change my skin tone. Thanks
Hi Rob. I just received your Mad About Skin serum and hsve a question if you don't mind. I was a little surprised by the smell. It smells of dentis office: very strong waft of spirit/alcohol. Is this normal? Secondly, it dried out my skin so bad, even with a heavy duty moisturiser. Something I really didn't expect but then alcohol is drying I suppose. I love your chanel and your knowledge, so was really taken aback. Thanks.
Hiya hun.. There is no denatured or drying alcohols in the serum at all and i have never heard it referred to as having that smell....i know that everyone's skin is different so products will react differently on different people but there are no drying ingredients in it so it shouldn't have such a dramatic impact on your skin.. If you use the contact us section of the website and let me know your order number there i can look into it.. Love you xxxxx
I've been using Azelaic Acid, Tranexamic Acid and Alpha Arbutin together in my morning routine for about 8 months. In December I started NIOD re:pigment, MAS super serum and G&G aPad in the evening. Still waiting for my melasma and hyperpigmentation to fade. There may be a dermatologist in my very near future. 😪
Why my dark spots become more darker when I apply azealic acid ??? I use spf 50 sunscreen and only use azelic acid at night from day 1 also I mosturiser properly
Has your sunscreen expired? Are you re-applying your sunscreen? Are you using retinols and AHA/BHA’s during the day? (they make your skin more sensitive to the sun). Are you wearing a hat and long sleeves while outside? And are you spending more time in the sun?
I’ve recently incorporated Face Theory’s Azelaic Acid to my routine and I think I’m slightly purging. Is that possible with AA? I’m also continuing using my Tret which I’ve been on for the past 10 months and my acne has highly reduced because of that so I’m guessing AA is the culprit. Happy to continue using AA though because I think it’s only the initial purging phase
Yes! Any active ingredient can cause purging! but you can minimize that by going slowly… using once a week for a few weeks and then increasing. Facetheory azelaic acid is considered strong!
So Tranexamic acid has a serum base type for external use, what if I take capsule of Tranexamic acid do they have same result?. It's safe to take orally Tranexamic acid capsule.?
As per Dr. Dray, using oral tranexamic acid can work better and even faster (do not eat the topical version. You cannot use it if you are taking birthcontrol because it can cause blood clots. If you have varicose veins or ris factors for blood clots, then you should not take it either.
Risk* factors can be managed through consulting with your doctor and asking whether a fish/krill oil, magnesium glycinate, and a bi-weekly aspirin may help. I already take those on a regular basis for their other benefits.
Hey guys and welcome to today's video where i wanted to share with you the ultimate combination treatment for hyperpigmentation.. I would love to know your thoughts on either of these treatments and if they worked for you so leave me a comment below.. Love you all so much x
can i use TA and alpha arbutin together?

Wich do u put on first tranexamic or Azelic ? do you wait or put them both on at the same time .
@@ces444r hi, I put Azelaic on first. I don’t wait inbetween. I don’t think it really matters in what order.
Azaleic acid is my boo thang!! It has faded every scar I have ever had. I can’t live without it
which one?
Hi Rob, how do you layer tranexamic acid, azelaic acid 15%, Alpha arbutin and Faded topical? Thanks😀
Exactly what I needed! I’ve been using azelaic acid for a little over a month now. It has been helpful with acne. I haven’t seen much change in my hyperpigmentation which is fine. I’m giving myself a few months. I just bought tranexamic acid and I now know how I can pair these two. Thank you!
Same dude
Using azelaic acid, did you ever see progress for hyperpigmentation ?
I use azelaic acid and its worked so well for my melasma but haven't tried tranexamic so will give it a go. Happy Saturday x
What brand are you using?
How do you use it
I've been using the superdrug Me+ tranexamic acid - perfect price and soaks in nicely. I've been using the ordinary azelaic acid but it doesn't layer well. So I've ordered the MAS set today 😊😊😊😊
Damn it I just bought that from Superdrug. What I’d the MAS set?
@@itsruckaswife7036 back then it was the madaboutskin cleanser, serum & moisturiser! There are now a few more in the range. However the 5% azelaic acid in the serum is now my staple morning and night.
@@eloisepharmacist ah thank you for replying. So do you still use tranexamic acid ? Do you think the Superdrug one is strong enough ?
@@itsruckaswife7036 I do still use it. I did try the inkey list but it was too jelly like, so went back to Superdrug.
I use the facetheory exaglow and azelaic acid 15% morning and night. No irritation and getting results - slow but it is happening.
I have been so impressed with tranexamic acid for my melasma. I get it in my custom formula from Curology, which has 5% tranexamic acid, 4% niacinamide, and a tiny concentration of tretinoin at 0.009%. Since that’s less than half the usual beginner’s concentration of tretinoin, so I credit a lot of the benefits I’m seeing to the tranexamic acid 💜💜💜
I have the same 3 ingredients in mine, though my tretinoin is maxed out.
@@onednp How much has it helped you? And what kind of hyperpigmentation do/did you have?
@@jenessastrickland1555 Mine is PIH, most of it a decade or more so it is stubborn. It has helped a lot with clearing up the newer spots and fading the ones that I get a lot faster.

Happy Saturday! Hope all is well. One day, you should do a fb live so we can all meet Momma Mad. 🥰
Thank you for the video hun. I think from the serums I've tried exaglow worked better than azelaic acid.
Thank you for all the amazing content you put out!! :D Could you do an AM and PM skincare routine video? Would love to see your full routine!! :D

@@mechkitten My tretinoin formula includes 5% tranexamic acid. It doesn't budge my sun damage hyperpigmentation.
Excellent video! Great information. This is my main issue hyperpigmentation. Thank you for the suggestions.
I love the Transparent lab PIH sun spot fading treatment. I think you also mentioned it in an earlier video😺

Can you please talk about top vitamins or supplements for skin sometime? xoxo
Dr. Sam Bunting just had a video on this 😳
@@noneofurbusiness5223 oh I am going to check it out thanks
Touch Bright & Clear Cream has tranexamic acid and azelaic aicd; as well as kojic acid and niacinamide. Works great on pih.
Thank you
Great video Rob! As much as I’m interested in tranexamic acid, I am more interested in kojic acid and seeing what it will do for my areas of hyperpigmentation…. Your exfoliating gel can’t come soon enough. ❤️❤️
Just thinking the same thing ☺️
I am sure , your hayperpigmentation or melasma has the possibility of relaplse after good result of using kojic acid i.e temporary result
My combo is Facetheory Exaglow S10 serum with 5 percent tranexamic acid and The Ordinary alpha arbutin! Of course sunscreen to top it off.
Excellent video!!! Thank you for posting!!!
Thanks for watching and sharing x

Currently combining alpha arbutin 2% with Azelaic acid 10%. Think I’ll give this combination a go. Thanks rob.
Hi Rob, what’s your opinion on old school tea tree ❓❤️
Great video Rob and excellent recommendations! ❤😘
Thanks Rob I found a tranexamic acid in Superdrug but it’s only 2.5% does that mean it’s pretty pointless?
I already have A pad so im so pleased to hear they can be mixed/layered, and that I can follow with my Dermatica tret
Super vid ❤
My 2 fave ingredients Rob. Enjoy your night xxx
I haven't tried tranexamic so it sounds like i need to x
@@paulinemaxton2938 Yes. I just started The Inkey List. So far, I absolutely love it. Have a great night
Love how you explain things. I'm learning so much from you
Its like you read my mind ... Exactly the video i was looking for.. thanks alottttt
I swear I was going to ask what is the difference between the 2 at today's live 🤣😘😜 Hope you had a great time!!
Hi Rob always love your videos. Will.this work.with melasrma,?
What can I use to maintain an even skin tone in the event my hyperpigmentation has cleared? I'm afraid of something that will change my skin tone. Thanks
Always can use a hyperpigmentation hack! Thank you 😊 !
Hi Rob. I just received your Mad About Skin serum and hsve a question if you don't mind. I was a little surprised by the smell. It smells of dentis office: very strong waft of spirit/alcohol.

Rob would you say it's OK to also use lactic acid along side these ? Xx
If I can get only 1 serum for darkspots what serum would you reccomend for the best results?
Can I use alpha Arbutin first then tranex acid and then azelaic on top?
I've been using Azelaic Acid, Tranexamic Acid and Alpha Arbutin together in my morning routine for about 8 months. In December I started NIOD re:pigment, MAS super serum and G&G aPad in the evening. Still waiting for my melasma and hyperpigmentation to fade. There may be a dermatologist in my very near future. 😪
How do you layer it?
Can they be used along side Niacinamide serum? Thanks
Will these minimize my skin's ability to get tanned ?
No, but sunscreen and avoiding the sun definitely will
Im so sad that Azelaic acid is banned in Canada
Why my dark spots become more darker when I apply azealic acid ???
I use spf 50 sunscreen and only use azelic acid at night from day 1 also I mosturiser properly
Has your sunscreen expired? Are you re-applying your sunscreen? Are you using retinols and AHA/BHA’s during the day? (they make your skin more sensitive to the sun). Are you wearing a hat and long sleeves while outside? And are you spending more time in the sun?
Was about to buy Faded but then found out it contact fragrance.
Faded is fragrance free.
@@LoveToday8 Ethylene brassylate is a synthetic fragrance ingredient
It makes me nuts that we can not get either of these here in Canada. Has any other Canadian sorted a cheat around this?
In what order should I use these two?
either way will work though I use azelaic first xx
I’ve recently incorporated Face Theory’s Azelaic Acid to my routine and I think I’m slightly purging. Is that possible with AA? I’m also continuing using my Tret which I’ve been on for the past 10 months and my acne has highly reduced because of that so I’m guessing AA is the culprit.
