Potential addition to routine

I am looking to add a hyperpigmentation serum to my routine, possible Cosrx alpha arbutin + tranexamic acid and I want to know if it's safe to do so or if I need to substitute it with an existing product.

I highly recommend Naturium Tranexamic 5%, which I think it the highest concentration you can get. I used to pay over $100 for 1 ml of a spa product and didn't want to keep that up, so I looked at the active ingredient which was Tranexamic acid. The Naturium product works just as well for a fraction of the cost, typically ~$20 for 1 ml. This product definitely reduces light discoloration and evens our skin tone and leaves a flowing complexion.

Best of Luck!

A retinoin serum is a holy grail for people suffering from PIH. Have you ruled out PIE? Or do you tend to get a mixture of the two?
