| Verdict | Sallve is Brazil's leading clean-actives indie brand and the Sérum Antiacne is their acne workhorse. 2% salicylic acid, niacinamide, tea tree leaf oil, willow bark extract for natural BHA support, plus buchu (Barosma Betulina) — a South American botanical that's uncommon outside Brazil. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free formula. | Theraskin's multi-pathway depigmenting serum — tranexamic acid (vascular-targeting depigmenter, particularly effective for melasma) + niacinamide (melanin transfer inhibitor) + ascorbyl glucoside (stable vitamin C derivative). The dermatologist-channel formulation that Brazilian dermatologists prescribe alongside compounded hydroquinone protocols, with the gentler active stack that won't compound irritation from the prescription layer. Strong value at R$130 (~$25 USD). |
