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.

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.

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.
