About Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid is a rising star in hyperpigmentation treatment that works through a completely different mechanism than most brighteners. Originally a medication for heavy bleeding, it was found to significantly improve melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when applied topically. The clinical evidence is strong and growing.
