Let me introduce to you, Desiray DIY Tranexamic Acid 10%

It's a Taiwanese made to order product, and expires in within 180 days of manufacturing. I brought it for brightening PIH and overall tone, since I'm riddled with awful scars and spots thanks to a horrific bout of cystic acne.

Instructions are to mix it into a skincare product of choice in a 1:1 ratio, fresh each time, as a booster, not straight up adding them into the skincare products' containers. They've provided a pipette, with markings from 0.5 ml to 3ml. I mix ~0.5-1ml into the TO Niacinamide Zinc.

I've used it for two weeks so far, and this stuff is the elusive leprechauns's pot o' gold at the rainbow's end, showered with kitten tears and pixie dust. My PIH have vanished so dramatically I'm honestly in awe and so, so grateful and pleased with the progress. The dark angry reddish/purplish brown spots have downsized three times smaller, and faded to soft pinkish red speckles and my face is a notch brighter all around.

Case comparison: I'm not using LAA but I do alternate between AHA & Differin, while my mom simply uses the TXA as her sole brightening product and her decade-old melasma are fading ever so steadily, something that two years of TO retinol, a year of LAA, a bottle of TO Alpha Arbutin tried to accomplish but only succeeded somewhat. But this lil bottle has been an absolute champ, a gamechanger. Those stubborn melasma patches are slowly breaking down and blurring away into nothingness.

In short, ladies of SG, please run, don't walk, to Deisray on Shopee and grab their Tranexamic Acid 10% ! And perhaps, their Kojic Acid 10% & Aplha Arbutin 10%.
