Tranexamic Acid: How To Use It?

First of all, to be effective on pigmentation spots, the concentration of tranexamic acid must be between 2 and 5% in a treatment. Increasing its concentration does not improve its effects but presents a risk of irritation.

As mentioned earlier, this acid is a form of lysine, an amino acid naturally present in the skin. This mild acid should be therefore generally safe when applied to the skin twice a day, morning and evening (it is not photo-sensitizing). On sensitive or irritated skin, its use will initially be limited to once a day. If you notice that the skin tolerates the care well, you can then pass to two applications per day. If irritation or discomfort occurs, stop using the product immediately.

Note: Tranexamic acid treatment can be used locally on the spots to be reduced (body and/or face) or on the whole face. For the type of use, it is advised to refer to the indications present on the product.

The Hyperpigmentation and Firming Serum contains 5% tranexamic acid. This treatment reduces and prevents the appearance of pigmentation spots, particularly of the melasma type, and promotes the firming of the skin. This causes the complexion to become even, the skin to be smoother and firmer. It also contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2, a peptide composed of four amino acids that stimulates the synthesis of key molecules involved in the support and firmness of the skin: elastin, collagen and fibrillin.

The use of this serum is simple. Simply apply 3 to 4 drops to a clean, dry face morning and night, avoiding the eye area, then gently massage the face and neck with upward strokes.

To optimize the firming benefits, you can use this serum in combination with the retinol face cream.

Don't forget! It is highly recommended to apply a suitable sunscreen to prevent the appearance of new spots and to minimize the evolution over time of current spots. Our SPF30 facial sunscreen is enriched with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, and offers broad-spectrum protection suitable for daily use.
