Melaphix Cream
Melaphix targets pigmentation the way pigmentation actually forms, at several points in the chain at once. Kojic acid interrupts pigment production, tranexamic acid calms the inflammation that keeps melasma coming back, glycolic acid clears the pigmented cells already sitting at the surface, and glutathione works on the oxidative triggers underneath. Used nightly, gently, over weeks. Not overnight, because nothing honest is.

Every active, at a dose that works.
Full ingredient rationale for each active is on its own page. If a percentage isn't stated on a product you're considering, ours or anyone's, that's worth asking about.
Simple, and done properly.
Nights only
A pea-sized amount is genuinely enough. More does not work faster; it only irritates, and irritation causes more pigment.
On the spots, not the whole face
Unless your pigmentation is diffuse. Targeted application keeps the rest of your skin calm.
Then sunscreen, every morning
Without daily SPF this cream is working against a tide. This is the single biggest reason people say brightening 'didn't work'.
The questions we actually get.
How long before I see results?
Six to eight weeks for visible lightening on most post-acne marks; twelve or more for melasma, which is a longer, more patient job. Anyone promising two weeks is selling you the promise, not the result.
Can I use it while pregnant?
Speak to your doctor first. We'd rather you check than assume. Several brightening actives are best avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Does it contain hydroquinone or steroids?
No. Neither, deliberately. Both work quickly and cause real damage with unsupervised long-term use, which is exactly how they get used.

For pigmentation & dark spots.
The most common reason Indian skin gets treated, and the one most often approached backwards, with a strong cream and no sunscreen.
