Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a powerful ingredient recognized for its ability to brighten skin complexion and improve the appearance of discoloration. It has been shown to diminish the appearance of discoloration, reduce dark spots, improve hyperpigmentation, melasma, and stubborn brown patches.
TXA interferes with a pathway that decreases the interaction between skin cells, or keratinocytes, and melanin-forming cells, or melanocytes.
Strengthens skin barrier, reduces acne and acne-related discolorations. It is generally safe and well-tolerated by all skin types, nearly 96% of study participants who used tranexamic acid saw noticeable improvement after 12 weeks of daily use when coupled with sunscreen
