If you’ve ever struggled with dark spots, uneven skin tone or melasma, you’re likely familiar with the usual suspects—vitamin C, retinoids, hydroquinone. But now, tranexamic acid is gaining traction as a powerful alternative. According to a feature in Lifestyle Asia, “Tranexamic acid is the perfect solution for hyperpigmentation.”
Originally used in medicine for its blood-clotting properties, tranexamic acid (often abbreviated TXA) has been discovered to affect pigment formation in the skin—offering dermatologists and skincare-lovers a fresh option.
How It Works: The Science Behind the Ingredient
Simply put: tranexamic acid disrupts the pathways that lead to excess pigment (melanin) production in the skin. According to a review, it inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase and disrupts signals between skin cells that cause the pigment-cascade.
In the Lifestyle Asia article, the mechanism is described as:
“[It] targets melanin production… through an anti-inflammatory and pigment-modulating route.”
This is especially relevant for issues like:
-
Melasma (brown patches on face)
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (after acne, injury)
-
Sun-induced dark spots
Because its action is more targeted — vs broader bleaching agents — it tends to be gentler on skin while still offering meaningful results.
How to Use It & What to Expect
Routine Tips:
-
Apply a TXA serum or product once daily (evening preferred) after cleansing and before moisturising. Lifestyle Asia emphasises consistency as key.
-
Start slowly: If your skin is sensitive or you’re layering actives (like retinoids, acids), use TXA alone for 2-3 weeks then gradually introduce others.
-
Sunscreen remains non-negotiable: Without sun protection, dark spots may persist or return despite active treatment.
-
Be patient: Typical visible changes occur between 8 to 16 weeks of consistent use.
