Why it's special

  • Made with 3% Tranexamic Acid, which is a derivative of the amino acid lysine. It reduces the activity of melanocyte tyrosinase thereby treating melasma, UV-induced hyperpigmentation, and other post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation


  • This formula further contains 3% Mandelic Acid (a type of AHA) which gently exfoliates & further reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (like acne scars)


  • Contains 1% HPA (Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid), which is proven to prevent melanogenesis better than ascorbyl glucoside, kojic acid, and arbutin. It also has equivalent efficacy to hydroquinone without cytotoxicity


  • Our source for HPA is Radianskin, which is a high performance active developed by BASF, Germany

About this product

After cleansing and toning your face, take 2-3 drops of serum on your fingertips with the dropper. Apply it on the face by gently tapping it on the skin. With a circular motion, evenly spread the serum and allow your skin to absorb it.

When to use: PM. Start with every alternate day and after 2 weeks of usage, use it everyday.

Ingredients

Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid decelerates processes that increase tyrosinase activity by interfering with plasmin activity, and in turn, indirectly inhibiting melanogenesis. Studies have shown that Tranexamic acid, when applied topically, shows results similar to Hydroquinone in reduction of hyperpigmentation

HPA (Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid)
It inhibits melanin transfer with great efficacy and prevents UVB damage. HPA is clinically proven to visibly reduce dark spots within two weeks

Mandelic Acid (3%) + Salicylic ACid (0.3%)
The combination removes the dead cells from the top of the skin, boosting the performance of Tranexamic Acid and Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid, hence accelerating the reduction of hyperpigmentation and melasma

    Best for hyperpigmentation!

    Excellent product. Very light and absorbed well. Not harsh on skin. Starts to fade uneven skin tone after a few weeks so be patient. It does work! A little goes along way so don't over do it as it will upset your skin. Trust the product. Will buy again for sure. 5 stars. Highly recommended.

    My skin breaks up but effectively lightens my pimple scars.

    First and foremost, the online purchasing was easy, the tracking not, you need to download something to track your purchase which is kinda not necessary. 2nd, I noticed how my overall skin routine for diminishing dark marks ( salicylic acid Cleanser, exfoliant, now adding Tranexamic acid) made a huge difference, it quickened the lightening of my dark pimple scars and marks. However, it broke me out 😭. How I noticed it? I generally do not put it all over my face, I would only dab it on my pimple scar areas, so in the evening I would dab it and the next morning I have new pimples all around the area where I put the serum. It is frustrating because I loved how it worked on my dark spots. Still I used it every now and then. But I think my skin is not friendly with it. I have sensitive skin and this has been my problem. So if you wanted to try this, do so, it might work for you. It's cheaper than any other Tranexamic acid out there. I hope this helps. Thank you.

    Loving it but still too early to tell

    It's definitely helped with smoothing out the texture of my skin. I've been using it ever other night, along with my retinol and I love the combo.

    Been using for over a month now and look forward to re-assessing at the 3 month mark.

FAQs

Yes, Tranexamic Acid has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation. Our formula also contains Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid which has been studied & found to reduce melanogenesis by up to 86%.

You can expect to start seeing results in 6 to 8 weeks. But every skin is different and the way an active works on a particular skin may not work the same way on another skin. Please be consistent with the usage and use sun protection for ensuring you get desired results.

While they may sound similar, PIH and PIE are different. PIH or Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation represent pigmented (brown or black) spots caused by an inflammatory reaction, resulting in overproduction of melanin. A typical example is brown marks left after acne. PIE or Post-Inflammatory Erythema refers to the red / dark red marks left behind after inflammation (like acne). This happens because the capillaries near the skin surface gets damaged by the inflammation, which results in small red marks. So PIH is pigmented and looks brown / dark brown in color and PIE looks like a clogged blood inside the skin and looks red/ dark red in color.Since more research is needed on the impact of topical SA on fetures or babies, pregnant and breastfeeding, women should consult their doctor before including SA into their routine. People with specific skin conditions or health issues shall also consult their doctor before using any direct acid.
