Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid is a synthetic amino acid derived from lysine. It is documented in scientific literature for its soothing and antioxidant properties, as well as its association with regulating melanogenesis.

In literature, tranexamic acid is linked to plasmin's action on the lysine receptor, involved in activating tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin formation. This documented mechanism helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation irregularities and improves skin tone uniformity visibility.

Several independent clinical studies report topical application improves the appearance of pigmentation irregularities, especially in individuals with hormonal or photo-induced pigmentation irregularities.

Tranexamic acid is thus documented as an active ingredient associated with visibly improving skin tone uniformity. Use with caution if sensitive to lysine or on very sensitive skin.
