Sharing how to use AZELAIC ACID and TRANEXAMIC ACID in your skincare routine to tackle hyperpigmentation. The ultimate hyperpigmentation hack
Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where today I want to share with you how I faded my skin discolouration and tackled hyperpigmentation using azelaic acid and tranexamic acid together in the same routine.
Hyperpigmentation, dark spots and discolouration can be come of the most difficult things to tackle with our skincare routine products and they can really damage our skin confidence. In this video I want to share with you how I faded my skin discolouration, using a combination of azealic acid and tranexamic acid to achieve the best results.
AZEALIC ACID - one of the unsung heroes of the skincare world which helps to calm and soothe the skin and prevent inflammation, Inflammation is one of the biggest triggers of hyperpigmentation so by reducing the amount you have in the skin reduces the risk of discolouration. Azelaic acid also acts to suppress the formation of pigment and increases cell turnover to remove excess pigment quicker.
TRANEXAMIC ACID - this accidental discovery is an amazing ingredient if you have dark spots and discolouration as it prevents pigment from pooling which evens out the skin tone. Tranexamic Acid also surpasses pigment production which doubles down on the benefits of azealic acid.
By using tranexamic and azelaic acid together you will see the best and quickest results for your own hyperpigmentation, dark spots and skin discolouration and I wanted to share this hack with you today.
I would love to know what your thoughts are on this hypepigmentaiton dupe and whether you have used them together yourself so please leave me a comment below.
If you enjoyed this video then please give it a thumbs up and a like to let me know.

Great video Rob and excellent recommendations! ❤😘
Excellent video! Great information. This is my main issue hyperpigmentation. Thank you for the suggestions.
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
Love how you explain things. I'm learning so much from you
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.
Its like you read my mind ... Exactly the video i was looking for.. thanks alottttt
Excellent video!!! Thank you for posting!!!

I love the Transparent lab PIH sun spot fading treatment. I think you also mentioned it in an earlier video😺
Always can use a hyperpigmentation hack! Thank you 😊 !
Azaleic acid is my boo thang!! It has faded every scar I have ever had. I can’t live without it

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 ❤️

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!
Currently combining alpha arbutin 2% with Azelaic acid 10%. Think I’ll give this combination a go. Thanks rob.
Hi Rob, how do you layer tranexamic acid, azelaic acid 15%, Alpha arbutin and Faded topical? Thanks😀
Hi Rob, what’s your opinion on old school tea tree ❓❤️
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!

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 ❤
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 :).
My combo is Facetheory Exaglow S10 serum with 5 percent tranexamic acid and The Ordinary alpha arbutin! Of course sunscreen to top it off.
Rob would you say it's OK to also use lactic acid along side these ? Xx
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

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!!🥰❤️)

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

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.
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.
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
Touch Bright & Clear Cream has tranexamic acid and azelaic aicd; as well as kojic acid and niacinamide. Works great on pih.

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’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

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.
