Tranexamic acid: what it does & who it's for
Fades dark spots and discoloration — gentle enough for sensitive skin.
What it is
Fades dark spots and discoloration — gentle enough for sensitive skin. In short, it's one of the brightening ingredients Vaiya's engine understands and can match to your skin and goals.
How to use it
Introduce Tranexamic acid slowly — every other day at first — and give your skin a couple of weeks to adjust before increasing frequency. Patch test on a small area first, and if you layer several actives, add one at a time so you can tell what's working.
