This is my AM pigment stack, and it’s not for everyone—because not everyone has stubborn melasma
Prescription hydroquinone is the anchor (non-negotiable).
Azelaic acid handles inflammation and tyrosinase inhibition at the OTC level. Vitamin C is the antioxidant backbone. Tranexamic acid layers in as a secondary brightening signal.

Noni is a tropical fruit extract loaded with 150+ antioxidants. I use it when my routine includes tretinoin or hydroquinone, helps calm redness, reinforces barrier health, it’s good for soothing irritation and protecting skin from oxidative stress while you’re running strong actives. The serum itself is 71.77% noni extract paired with hyaluronic acid and squalane—lightweight, fast absorb, zero pilling under vitamin C.
