Has anyone tried this? Apparently has 5% tranexamic acid but they only list 'key ingredients' on their website and not a full ingredient list.

I want to try tranexamic acid to fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Another option I've found is a serum by Hudson skincare. If you've tried or had success with TXA, please share.

Shame. Fear.

I think it's safe to say that a lot of us were raised with deeply internalized shame and fear. These form(ed) the basis of our morality (and perhaps collective character). Whether that ultimately occurs through culture or religion, the channels remain guilt, fear, shame, and eventually judgement. Even more so for older generations.. I really hope that this is changing now, albeit too slowly.

If you think of traits and behaviors that are widely valued in our society: outward religiosity, performative behavior, good grades, conventional job, bringing in an income, managing a spotless household, getting married at the right time, displays of wealth, having children particularly male ones, and then continuing said cycle for those children... all of these are driven by the same shame/judgement axis. 'Log kya kahein ge', 'naak katwa di' etc. for anyone who dares to do anything differently.

While traits such as compassion, humility, understanding and empathy, curiosity, honesty, egalitarianism are almost discouraged and often seen as weaknesses.

​

With those who are super judgemental, there is definitely lots of insecurity hidden deep down, which is being assuaged through criticism of others. To regain a sense of control and superiority? Instead of looking inward, it's simply more comfortable to direct that judgement outward.

Thoughts? It's local, and the ingredient list looks promising, so I'm considering giving it a try.

Had heard great things about Physiogel and was hoping that would end my search for a good moisturizer but it contains coconut oil 💔 so the 'non-comedogenic' claim didn't hold up
