Tranexamic Acid is a dermatologist-recommended ingredient known for its ability to visibly reduce stubborn pigmentation, including melasma, dark spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Originally used in medical settings to reduce inflammation and control bleeding, it has become a trusted topical agent in skincare for its brightening and calming effects.
Unlike traditional pigment correctors, Tranexamic Acid works by helping to disrupt the skin’s inflammatory response that triggers melanin production. This makes it a highly effective option for reducing discoloration without causing irritation—especially for those with sensitive skin or deeper skin tones.
Often combined with ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, and arbutin, Tranexamic Acid offers a powerful yet gentle approach to correcting uneven tone and supporting a clearer, more radiant complexion.
