I take tranexamic acid on a monthly basis for my extremely heavy periods due an inherited bleeding disorder (severe factor 7 deficiency). I also have to have it for any procedure I have that involves blood. Before I was diagnosed and put on tranexamic acid, my period blood loss was beyond ridiculous, I lost soooo much blood every month and went anaemic every time. After I went on tranexamic acid, it cut my blood loss in literal half and half again, and I was able to function and live daily life like normal. It's honestly a life-saving drug. Coincidentally, I've never had melasma.. 🎉

After going through a heart transplant and tons of prednisone, my face has become horrendous. Everybody says “don’t worry about your face, what matters is that you’re alive” and no, I can’t accept it and be happy, so I am getting a facelift, because my mental health depends on it.

Hi Dr. Shereene! I am from the Philippines. The vast majority of people's skin tone here is on the darker side. Unfortunately, we still have the mentality that white skin is more beautiful. Hence, a lot of local brands come up with glutathione products. Would love to know the science behind it, if it is safe and effective. If so, please let us know your recommendations. I know that this isn't a major concern for most of your followers but it'd be great if you could enlighten us about this. Thank you!

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is naturally occurring in the human body. There are studies showing that when applied topically, it works as a tyrosinase inhibitor, much like Vitamin C and Tranexamic acid. However, I believe the dangerous trend here in South East Asia (which I'm not sure if Dr Shereene is aware of) is to have it taken internally into the body - either by injection or oral means without it being regulated or administered by a licensed medical practitioner. This has been shown to cause liver damage, among other side effects. I might have gotten caught up in that trend myself a couple of years ago. 🙈 Luckily a friend warned me against it and I stopped taking it.

Your my new favourite skin expert ! Yes how it was discovered is amazing. Thank you for your amazing expert advice 😊xxxxx

I mean, absolutely. I am an aesthetician and suffer from melisma on my cheeks since 2013, I’ve cycled products. My own body heat and my own health issues contribute, no matter how healthy or anti inflammatory. So I appreciate your honesty surrounding the nature of this disorder.

Good morning Dr Idriss! Thanks for posting. Have a fantastic weekend!☀️💛

I love hearing about the history of skincare ingredients, including tranexamic acid. The Faded serum from Topicals is one of the most effective products I’ve ever used to address my PIH and tendency to get hyperpigmentation on my arms/legs with any little cut or mark on my arm (which is super noticeable because I’m pale). It’s also been really helpful as a preventative when I get a new cut on my leg (like when my cat scratches me) because it helps speed up healing time and prevents hyperpigmentation. It’s a pretty great price for how effective it’s been for me and the amount you get. I haven’t had great reactions to retinol/retinoids, but my skin loves tranexamic acid and I’m so happy to have discovered it.

Perfect timing, just ordered an Asian moisturizer with this ingredient for overall tone brightening! SO excited!

Love your piece on this Dr. Shereene!

Please do a video on different acne scars and the best treatment!🙏🙏🙏🙏 You are awesome by the way♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for all of these informative videos, presented in such an entertaining way. I have only found an extremely short video of yours mentioning the Sculptra product (injectable), but there is a whole line of products called Sculplla supposedly based on this same basic principal. For home use by us ordinary folks. There is a Sculplla 'mask' that is for licensed estheticians only, but these other products in that line can be purchased for use by anyone. The company has recently changed their name to House of PLLA. These products (supposedly) use facial hair as a means of absorbing below the skin to help build collagen.

Thank you for always posting amazing content! I was wondering if you could do a video on body hyperpigmentation and the ways to treat it? I have hyperpigmentation on my shoulders caused by friction and I can’t seem to get rid of it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Chemist Confessions Gold Standard is awesome while also being gentle… Gloria from CC specialized in acid peel development when they were working at L’Oréal, and I’m always floored at how it gives amazing fast results without irritating my skin… IMO it is masterfully formulated and gentler on my skin than products I’ve used with much smaller acid percentages. Unless you’re over-exfoliating, failing to follow the usage instructions, or need a better moisturizer/sunscreen, I can't imagine the average person having any issues with it.

Two products worth considering that both have 3% tranexamic acid: Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum (30 mL for $12 or 75 mL for $25) and Regimen Lab Level Serum (30 mL for $42, $36 on subscription). The Good Molecules one is actually marketed in part for melasma. The Regimen Lab one is I think a good alternative to the Topicals Faded product if you want to throw the kitchen sink at your hyperpigmentation but don't like the smell. I've used and loved them both. The Regimen Lab serum has been a staple in my routine for the last year and has made a huge difference in how my skin recovers from an acne flair, and one bottle lasts more than 3 months.

CO2 is not ideal for melasma patient as high trauma and heat can lead to rebound hyperpigmentation (resolves then comes back with a vengeance). Seek a board certified dermatologist who specializes in this condition.

In the morning, I use SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic + Paula's choice 10% Azelaic Acid (hopefully Azelaic acid can help the expensive SkinCeuticlas product maximize its efficacy).

In case it's helpful, this is what I do. FYI I have rosacea, acne-prone skin and melasma. Morning - Vit C (SkinCeuticals) and Tranexemic Acid serum (Currently using the Aspect Dr Pigment one). At night I do a Vit B serum, then azaelic acid and a retinoid (I use differin). I am currently taking a break from Hydroquinone (which I do every 3 months) but I would use that in the morning after the Tranexemic Acid serum and before moisturiser/sunscreen. However, your hydroquinone is prescription so it would be stronger than the one I was using (which you can buy OTC here in Australia). You could do the same as me and use the Tranexemic Acid when you take a break from hydroquinone if you find introducing it too strong. I take a break one or two nights a week from the retinoid and I also use a thick cream like la roche posay Cicaplast Baume B5 to finish my night time skin care. I always watch how my skin is reacting and if I notice too much redness or dryness I back off - usually the drying products like retinoid or AHA/BHA (which I only use 1-2 times a week at most). But your derm would be a good person to ask these questions of!

I would love this too. I have awful scarring and pigmentation from 2nd degree burns from a Clear V laser treatment to treat capillaries on my chin. It has been devastating to my self esteem. I've been using silicon sheets and gel for the last 6 weeks and I'm seeing no improvement. Wishing I had never had it done.

Can you pls have a deep dive on glutathione? It is a trend nowadays and very curious!

Thanks for the video doc! Can you please do a video on chemical peels? That seems to be all the rage for quite sometime now

Thank you! Can you please talk about the best makeup products/brands to use that assist in skincare?

I used Peace Out Dark Spots Serum and while it has helped my back acne scars, the smell is horrendous. I actually cant use it on my face at all because it makes me nauseous and gives me a headache. Definitely hope they reformulate it so I can use it and not stink. I always add a scented lotion to my back afterwards to mask the smell.

Thank you for all your hard work you put I to these videos! How would you recommend incorporating SkinCeuticals if your using tretinoin pm and vitamin c am?

Omg thank you for thissss

Hi. I have used (and loved) the Peter Thomas Roth Pro strength niacinamide discoloration treatment. It has Niacinamide, Tranexamic acid, kojic acid, alpha arbutin, and pentapeptide. What are your thoughts on this product?

Hi, Dr. Idriss! Thanks for all the knowledge you share! Can you talk about the HABIT SPF MIST? (They have N41 and N38). Thank you!! I’ve been seeing it all over the internet! Thank you again!!!

Great video! You mentioned that the chemical exfoliants can be done at night right after you wash your face, but when should we apply the serums? I'm not sure if I should be using it before or after I apply my retinol.

Hi Dr.Idriss! Love your videos! Could you review the new Rhode skincare products?

A series of VI peels and the VI Pigment Correcting Kit would be the best treatment for melasma.

Hi! Love your videos! Will this help at all with redness/rosacea because of the VEGF component? 🙏

Loooooove Tranexamic acid!!!! I have my inkey list one my Good Molecules discoloration correcting treatment serum! Hanskin moisturizer with it.. And I want MORE! Love it!

I give this to my patients for post partum hemorrhaging. Maybe I should smuggle some home!! ;) Great info as always, thank you!!!!
