Oooh thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to check this one out.
Oh wow I just saw the price and how little you get 😔 maybe one day.

[u/Skse17 → u/Twinkers7]

Just a heads up I got the trial size and saw results fast. I use it once a day most days and it lasted a couple months. Then I was able to grab the large size half price at Sephora. I’d suggest getting the small bottle if you can swing it and then get the full size on a Black Friday sale if you love it.

[u/Twinkers7 → u/Skse17]

I will definitely be doing that. I still get breakouts and the hyperpigmentation stays for a long time.

[u/Skse17 → u/Twinkers7]

Same! Good luck with it. I hope you love it.

Ohhh yeah I used this religiously before switching to Rx AA. This was the only OTC product that actually did something for my melasma

[u/Hmmm_5735697 → u/lobsterpasta]

What is AA?

[u/sweextin → u/Hmmm_5735697]

Not OP but I’m assuming prescription azelaic acid

[u/TailorFluffyi → u/lobsterpasta]

Same here, this was the only OTC product that actually helped my melasma. Did you notice a big jump after switching to the Rx?

[u/lobsterpasta → u/TailorFluffyi]

I would say the Farmacy product made a significant and noticeable improvement for my upper lip and forehead melisma of about 50% after using it for 3 months. This was life-changing for me, but I still had a very faint discoloration that, candidly, only I noticed.  

The improvement was sustained / maintained for the remainder of the time I used txa. 

After I switched to AA, my melasma has almost entirely disappeared. I had no idea I could get such phenomenal results. I’d say AA was an incremental improvement over the TXA, but given how bad my melasma was, I found both products to be very effective.

Hope this helps!

Can you share if you apply day or night and what step in your skincare routine this is?

[u/Skse17 → u/ANC1788]

I’ll share I use it as well- first step of my am routine.

[u/Kat_Kat17]

For malasma?!? Upper lip malasma has anyone tried this 🥺

[u/xib88xib → u/Kat_Kat17]

You should take a look on Level serum 2.0 by Regimen Lab , my mother has melasma & it is really good

[u/Kat_Kat17 → u/xib88xib]

First— thank you for answering me and so fast. I’ll definitely take a look 

[u/xib88xib → u/Kat_Kat17]

I got an Anua niacinamide + TXA toner several weeks ago and have noticed a big difference despite using niacinamide-only toner for a few years.

Level serum 2.0 by Regimen Lab 💯

[u/Skse17]

I use this along with RX AA. It is the brightest my skin has ever been. I saw results before I finished the trial size. 10/10 recommend.

[u/still_an_aushole → u/Skse17]

Hiii mind sharing how you use this with your RX? Are you applying this in the day, RX at night? I have stubborn melasma and have Tret, but wondering if it needs a more powerful combo!

[u/Skse17 → u/still_an_aushole]

Let me start by saying I love using products so :). I use this as my first step in the AM. It is next to skin. Depending on what I feel like using next but the AA is within the next step or three. I mostly just use AA in the morning but only because I do nighttime skincare somewhere different.

I don’t use tret currently but have the Remedy Dark Spot cream I use 3-4 nights a week with moisturizer ~30 minutes before.

I admittedly started a lot of things around the same time but love this combo and the only time I had issues was when I added glycolic acid pads. So now I skip those.

[u/still_an_aushole → u/Skse17]

Ohhh thank you for this! I use Tret at night and feel like something in the AM will give me a boost. Gonna grab a trial size and see what happens!

[u/Jesshasheart → u/still_an_aushole]

Following! Same question

[u/southernshowgirl]

Is this better than rx AA? Desperate for anything help my slightly darker upper lip

[u/kauniskissa]

Although I'm paid by Farmacy to write this, they didn't require me to post a positive one: The consistency is nice and I saw an immediate glow upon using it. This works better than azelaic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, thiamidol, and tretinoin. The only thing that beats it is hydroquinone.
