Tranexamic Acid
What is it?
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine, originally used to reduce excessive bleeding. In skincare, it has become popular for its effectiveness in treating hyperpigmentation and melasma.
What is it used for?
In dermatology, Tranexamic Acid is used in serums, creams, and peels to reduce dark spots and even out skin tone. It works by interrupting the pathways that trigger melanin production, making it an effective ingredient for brightening the skin.
The benefits of Tranexamic Acid include visibly reduced pigmentation, improved skin clarity, and a more even complexion. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin and particularly effective in treating melasma, especially when combined with other brightening agents like vitamin C or niacinamide.
