Melasma causes brown or greyish patches, usually on the face. Not every dark patch is melasma, so have a clinician confirm the diagnosis. Sun protection matters with any treatment. This category currently lists Melano-TX, a cream containing tranexamic acid and other named ingredients.
Ingredient-level research does not establish what this cream will do, and we cannot promise a result or timeframe. Follow the product label and ask a clinician if you are unsure whether it is suitable for you.
