Tranexamic acid has gained popularity in skincare for its remarkable ability to prevent and treat dark spots. But how does this powerhouse ingredient work its magic? Here’s a straightforward breakdown of why tranexamic acid is so effective against hyperpigmentation.

How Tranexamic Acid Works

Tranexamic acid, originally used to control bleeding, has a unique mechanism that helps in managing dark spots:

  1. Inhibition of Plasminogen Activation
  • Plasminogen Activation: In the skin, plasminogen converts to plasmin, a molecule that can increase inflammation and melanocyte activity (cells responsible for melanin production).
  • Tranexamic Acid’s Role: Tranexamic acid inhibits plasminogen from converting to plasmin, thus reducing the inflammatory processes that lead to increased melanin production.
  1. Reduction of Melanin Production
  • By modulating the pathways that lead to excess melanin production, tranexamic acid helps prevent new dark spots from forming and can lighten existing ones.
  1. Barrier Function Enhancement
  • Tranexamic acid strengthens the skin’s barrier, reducing the likelihood of inflammation and irritation that can lead to hyperpigmentation.

Topical crème is very effective and scientifically proven. If you are interested, just tell me by DM!
