Dark spot holy grail
This serum is amazing, cleared my dark spots and even my skin tone, improves hydration, soothes the skin’s and has anti aging properties. It’s light weight and not sticky, easy to blend into the skin. Fades hyperpigmentation and even skin tone. I’ll definitely recommend.

Sounds so good need to try this x
Clearer and brighter skin
I've been using this Mela B3 micro peeling gel wash for over 2 months. I brought it as I have oily blemish prone skin and this gel cleanser is formulated for my skin type. It contains niacinamide, melasyl and hydroxy acid. Together they help to cleanse, exfoliate and purify skin. It also helps to strengthen the skins barrier. I have noticed that my skin is looking clearer, brighter and fresher since using this cleanser. It does not leave my skin feeling tight or dry after use. It's very gentle on my skin, no stinging or irritations. This Mela B3 micro peeling gel wash is suitable for sensitive skin and is dermatologically tested. Key ingredient incude: Niacinamide Melasyl polyhydroxy acid The only downside is that it contains fragrance

Super hydrating
I found out this product really did help with hydration. I’m helping give my skin an extra shine. I use a nice Niacinamide and lactic acid already which I feel like really helps with clearing my skin and helping to reduce the appearance of dark sports but this is a nice addition to my routine.

Nice product
Been using it regularly and I already see improvement in my dark spots. It does lighten dark spots and gives an overall brightness to the face. Use at night daily with a good moisturizer. Fast absorbing on skin with light oily texture. Highly recommended this for it.

Sounds great need something for my dark spots 🩷
Great, would highly recommend!
The Minimalist Tranexamic 03% Face Serum is a game-changer for tackling hyperpigmentation and dark spots. After a few weeks of use, I noticed a visible improvement in my skin tone and reduced blemishes. The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and layers well with other products. It's gentle enough for daily use, and I haven't experienced any irritation. Overall, it's a fantastic option for anyone looking to brighten their complexion and even out skin tone without harsh chemicals. Highly recommend for its effectiveness and simplicity!

Helps with scars
I have a few acne scars and after trying the Minimalist Tranexamic 03% Face Serum I could see a difference. It really helped clear up my skin. It has a light texture and spreads evenly. It layers well and can be used frequently. Not sure how it will be on old or stubborn scars but worked well on my skin.

3d corrector
I have always had difficulty finding the right type of foundation / BB cream. This is a god send, as it's lightweight and doesn't leave streaky base. Easy to build up and with the different tones. You can use as contouring too! Definitely a must have in your makeup bag. Comes in a squeezy bottle. You can use a brush or blender to get even coat across your skin.

Reduces pigmentation
This powerful serum helps to provide even looking skin tone. It effectively reduces the appearance of Melasma and hyperpigmentation. It has light, watery consistency, which absorbs completely into the skin. It contains 3% tranexamic acid and 1% Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid which prevents the melanin transfer and UVB damage. It also contains 3% Mandelic Acid which gently exfoliates & further reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I initially use this serum every other night after cleansing and toning. As it might cause some sensitivity initially but it settles down with continuous use. Fragrance-free Silicones-free Sulfates-free Parabens-free Essential Oils-free non-comedogenic suitable for all skin types

I would love to try this serum as I have pigmentation on my face because of my hormonal imbalance.
Amazing night serum
I have added this serum in my night screen routine for almost 4 weeks now and I can visibly see the difference in my skin. After cleaning and toning I apply this serum and my night moisturiser after it and my skin has never looked so better with an even skin tone. My pigmentation has lighten and there is a natural radiance in my skin that I see now which I have never seen before. My skin looks more firmer and healthy. The un even skin has gradually gone and given me a very clear and better skin. The serum is free from fragrance and comes in a cute little glass bottle with a dropper so you can have the adequate amount of drops for your face and then apply it easily. Overall this product have done really well on my skin and highly recommend it for all skin types.

worth it in all aspects
i have been testing this product for a while now and i definitely have to say credit is placed where credit is due. to find a product that actually works and is extremely affordable is so helpful and insane. i had very stubborn hyperpigmentation and acne spots, all which have gotten a lot lighter. i genuinely find myself feeling a lot more comfortable and confident in my skin. the oil is extremely light on the skin so it doesnt even feel like anything on your face, which is a big thing for me and is a factor i sort of look out for with products. overall it is a great product and as i have said before, i would happily purchase items from this brand!

Results on first use
I was kindly gifted with Tranexamic 0.3% Face Serum for testing and review by We Are Eves & Minimalist. Composed of mandelic acid + acetyl glucosamine + HPA. Indicated to help provide a better even-skin tone. My thoughts: odorless serum, lightweight consistency, non-greasy, spreads easily, absorbs instantly and does not dry out the skin. I have been using it for 3 weeks, once a day , pm afternoon , 4 drops are enough for the entire face and it is very important not to forget the SPF after using this serum. This serum incredibly resurfaces the skin from the first day of use resulting in a clear, clean, very smoothed and brightness skin. I also noticed that from the first use this serum tightens the skin and over time I see that my facial skin had improvements with elasticity looking more firmer and with this showing less my wrinkles and age marks as well as improving my facial contours. This is my first time using a product with mandelic acid and I think the results are sensational. I have not had any negative reactions to using this serum. It's come in a 30 ml glass bottle with a pipette dispenser that prevents waste. Traxenamic Serum is recommended for all skin types, but in my opinion, especially for women with menopausal skin who are concerned about dull, dryed and lifeless , skin that is losing its firmness and elasticity, this serum is an ideal and essential product to add to your daily skincare routine. My skin looks great , im happy with the results and I definitely recommend it.

Retinol, a beauty investment I'll never regret!
Retinol is Vitamin A for your skin, one of the most effective beauty products for signs of aging. Retinol speeds up your skin cell turnaround, smooths fine lines & wrinkles & helps fade dark spots & blemishes. Some people can be nervous when introducing retinol into their skincare routine because of some of the side effects (like irritation & breakouts) but if you use it correctly & consistently, you'll love it! Retinol beginners should start with a low percentage & slowly increase the percentage over time to work out what level is best for their skin. I started my retinol journey months ago & am still on 0.5% as the bottle lasts ages, I'll try increasing the percentage when I make my next retinol purchase. Always cleanse before applying retinol & always moisturise after. It's best to apply retinol in your evening skincare routine. Make sure you use SPF in your morning skincare routine, especially if using retinol at night, as it can increase your chances of sunburn. You should also check your other skincare products can be used with retinol as some products can't be mixed with it, such as salicylic acid & glycolic acid. Also, keep your retinol in the fridge so it doesn't lose its effectiveness. I love The Ordinary skincare products, they last ages & I always see results after using them. I also use their rose hip seed face oil & hyaluronic acid daily.

Great for clearer brighter skin
I like the Minimalist brand so I was interested to see how effective this serum is. I had never heard of Tranexamic acid before but it is used to make your skin tone more even. You use this product in the evening only and it has a nice texture that is not sticky or oily. I find this is a very gentle serum and it feels kind and gentle to skin but it has quickly made a difference to my complexion. My skin looks brighter and my skin tone is more even and clearer. I have also seen an improvement to scars which are now a bit less noticeable. I am sure that over time these effects would be more pronounced. The serum feels quite hydrating and it feels good to use at night as directed along with a moisturiser. I would recommend this to anybody who wants a clearer more even complexion, this is an easy way to get it. Thank you to We Are Eves and Minimalist for sending me this in return for my honest review.

It's superb
I didn't even know that I had been sent this to review but I'm glad I did because this gorgeous serum is perfection in a bottle! I pop it on before bed and my skin is super soft and it looks healthier I love it. If you are looking for a face serum that goes on light and soaks in then this is a must have!

Great product
I got some dark spots and pigmentation. So I tried this serum for two to three weeks. It did not irritate my skin. Overall its a nice product. I can see glow on my face after using this but for some old scars and marks this might take bit longer. But consistency is the key. Thanx u sooo much @we are eves and minimalist for sending me this lovely product to try which actually worked for me...

Gentle
This cleanser is nice and gentle. Use it morning and night. This is a micro peeling gel that is powered by the multi patented melasy and niacinamide, this helps to reduce the appearance of imperfections and this leaves the skin looking bright and radiant. This really cleans my skin and gently exfoliates it. It also strengthens the skin barrier. This lathers well and leaves my skin looking and feelin hydrated. It helps even my skin out and helps against sunspots, dark spots and post acne scars. This is hypoallergenic, alcohol free and non comedogenic. Also dermatologically tested.

Want to try this I love la roche posay ❤️
So far so good
I am very optimistic about this unassuming looking product. I used after washing & toning & saw some improvement in the tone and texture of my skin after 1 week so will continue to use & update my review accordingly. It is lightweight so no sticky residue. Moisturisering & sunscreen were easy to apply after with no clamminess. Like that it's Free From - fragrance, sulphates, silicones and essential oils. I have recommended to friends & family especially as they have been complimenting my skin tone.

Must have
This is a fantastic product! Though minor, so far so great. I can see a difference on my skin clearing. It's very easy to apply to my skin. I even got a few compliments on my face. So I'm sure it's down to this product. I would highly recommend this and already have!
