What Is Tranexamic Acid and Why Skincare Lovers Are Obsessed?
Tranexamic acid is a gentle skincare ingredient that helps reduce lines and wrinkles, dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation by limiting melanin production and calming inflammation.
How Does Tranexamic Acid Work?
- Inhibits pigment formation: Prevents overactive melanocytes from producing excess melanin especially in response to sun exposure.
