PREGNANCY-SAFE ROUTINE

Postpartum melasma routine — pregnancy-safe brightening

A five-step daily routine for melasma during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, vitamin C, and niacinamide are the brightening pathway; mineral SPF closes the morning. Retinol is deliberately omitted because topical retinoids are contraindicated in pregnancy.

Fewer steps. Each one complete.

    Step 1

    Cleanse

    Wet the face. Massage the cleansing gel for 30 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water. A fragrance-light formula keeps reactive postpartum skin comfortable.

    Press 3 drops onto damp skin twice daily. Topical tranexamic acid is the targeted melasma player; pair with niacinamide cream and SPF for the layered protocol.

    Alpha-arbutin serum

    Press 2 drops as the second serum step. Alpha-arbutin is the gentler everyday tyrosinase blocker. Apply twice daily for at least 8 weeks before judging the result.

    Mineral SPF

    Apply two finger-lengths to face and neck every morning. Reapply every 2 hours of direct exposure. Mineral SPF is the conservative pick during pregnancy and prevents melasma rebound.
