EXTRAGLOW - MELASMA IN MEN REVIEW I have used this serum to successfully treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) on my shoulders last year and when the doctor said the new patches on my forehead was melasma (affects 10% of men), I reordered this tranexamic acid serum. I have epidermal (top layer) melasma and the trigger for me was sauna/steam room and hair dryer after gym; as opposed to hormonal changes which is the trigger for most women. UVA, UVB and heat are all triggers for melanin production. I have been using this serum AM + Azelaic Acid 20% (prescription strength) with a mineral sunscreen and within 5-6 weeks my melasma has lightened and the borders of the patches have started to break/return to normal skin colour. I used Azelaic Acid on some reoccurring PIH on my shoulder and the results are not as effective, so tranexamic acid is the star ingredient here(not to mention niacinamide, vit c and liquorice which are all tyronaise inhibiters). I also use Mandelic acid 10% 2 x week in the PM, which exfoliates the dead skin cells on top, allowing the excess pigment to be expelled more quickly. I am seeing results and I am assured now that within 2-3 months my melasma will clear. For those of you that are dealing with hyperpigmentation/ melasma I would recommend Extraglow and that you use a mineral sunscreen (a physical barrier with zinc/iron oxide) which reflects UV like a mirror.

This is great. It has a really good mix of ingredients. I have dry skin with hyperpigmentation and this has worked well to combat dark patches. My skin is hydrated and I have received compliments. I use this with other FaceTheory products.

This is the best serum I have used for brightening. I have bought other serums from The Face Theory, this is the only serum that makes a difference to my skin. It is quite watery in consistency but it is easy to apply and sinks in quite well within seconds. A bottle lasted me about 2 months, but I mainly use it during the day. I would recommend it to anyone looking to brighten their skin or to reduce pigmentation.
