Tranexamic Acid

This active ingredient is created with biotechnology. Although widely known in dermatology, it’s relatively new to skincare. Multiple clinical studies conclude that tranexamic acid is one of the most effective molecules for addressing dark spots (hyperpigmentation), and uneven skin tone.

Researchers have shown that tranexamic acid can help inhibit tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis. It’s considered very effective in helping to diminish the appearance of all kinds of dark spots, particularly melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), irregular tone, and blemishes caused by some medications or hormonal changes. It also helps improve texture and brighten complexions.

This very safe acid respects all skin types. So you can use it daily, both morning and night, and at any time of year.

While it’s not photosensitizing, it’s best to pair it with sunscreen during the day for ultimate dark spot protection.

Your results will depend on the type of dark spot and concentration of tranexamic acid used. Generally speaking, you’ll start seeing results after applying skincare with tranexamic acid every day for two months.

Despite being an acid, this active ingredient is super respectful, making it perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skins.

Dark spots usually appear around the age of 40, but factors such as birth control pills, pregnancy and sun exposure can accelerate the process.

There is no specific recommended age for starting to use tranexamic acid, as it depends on your skin type and lifestyle. Take our quiz to discover your predisposition to dark spots and start addressing them on time.

Tranexamic acid can be combined with any ingredient, although it works especially well with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and retinol, which enhance its brightening and dark spot control benefits.

Natura Bissé designed a superstar combination to maximize your results when fighting dark spots: tranexamic acid with hexylresorcinol. Both ingredients help effectively reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
