I used to live in Japan a number of years ago and Tranexamic acid and Arbutin are used a lot in their whitening creams and lotions, i've used Japanese skincare for many years now and like both ingredients. I was pretty surprised and also glad to see them make their way into Western skincare too, as previously I only got them from my Japanese skincare from brands like Kose, Hada Labo and Sana. I use both for a power combo!! I'm using Face theory Exaglow, TO Arbutin and the premium whitening toner and cream for Hada Labo, all have tyrosinase inhibitors :)

Hi Dr V! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you provide us with! If I bought your body pigmentation kit, would I also be able to use it on some parts of my face (around my mouth)? Just asking because I have stubborn PIH in my underarm area, but also have a little bit of hyperpigmentation around the lower half of my mouth. The kit is a little pricey so I just want to buy one to start with (out of the facial and body pigmentation kit). Which one do you recommend?
