Treatment of Melasma
Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin. It is more commonly seen in females than males. Glutathione + Tranexamic Acid helps to lighten these dark patches of the skin usually caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin. It effectively blocks that process in the skin that leads to discoloration. Glutathione + Tranexamic Acid also reduces any redness, rash, pain, or itchiness that may be caused in this condition.

This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always take it as directed by the doctor and keep taking it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
