Made with 3% Tranexamic Acid, which is a derivative of the amino acid lysine. It reduces the activity of melanocyte tyrosinase thereby treating melasma, UV-induced hyperpigmentation, and other post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
This formula further contains 3% Mandelic Acid (a type of AHA) which gently exfoliates and further reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (like acne scars).
Contains 1% HPA (Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid), which is proven to prevent melanogenesis better than ascorbyl glucoside, kojic acid, and arbutin. It also has equivalent efficacy to hydroquinone without cytotoxicity.
Our source for HPA is Radianskin, which is a high-performance active developed by BASF, Germany.
