Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount. Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is a synthetic lysine derivative that is becoming one of the most exciting brightening ingredients in skincare. Originally used in medicine as an anti-hemorrhagic agent, its skin brightening potential was discovered by accident; patients taking it orally started noticing their melasma was fading. Unlike most brighteners that target tyrosinase (the enzyme that synthesizes melanin), TXA works further upstream. It basically blocks your cells from receiving the signal to produce pigment. This makes it one of the rare actives that works on three pathways at once: This makes it effective for treating melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and sun-induced dark spots. The most effective cosmetic concentration sits between 2-5% and going higher doesn't boost results. Side effects are generally mild; occasional irritation, flaking, or dryness have been reported at the start of use. Overall, this ingredient is pretty well tolerated, even by sensitive skin types. Another perk of this ingredient is that it does not cause photosensitivity, so it's safe to use in the AM and PM.
