Tranexamic acid is an artificial substance for whitening and lightening. Since tranexamic acid is a protease inhibitor, it is effective for whitening. It can inhibit the hydrolysis reaction of peptide bonds catalyzed by protease, and can dilute the spots and make the spots no longer deepen. Prevents and improves skin pigmentation. But for some sensitive people, this method is not suitable.

The working principle of tranexamic acid is:

Tranexamic acid can fundamentally inhibit the formation and increase of melanin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosine, thereby completely blocking the transmission pathway of melanin and preventing melanin precipitation.

It can also accelerate the metabolism of the skin and promote the renewal of the stratum corneum of the skin, so as to achieve the effects of whitening, lightening, brightening the complexion and improving dull yellow.

Tranexamic acid has been widely used in skin care, which has a lot to do with its unique characteristics.

Characteristics of Tranexamic Acid:

Features 1. High stability, mildness, no irritation, acid and alkali resistance, not easily affected by temperature, environment and other factors.

Features 2. The easily absorbed tranexamic acid has a very low molecular weight and can penetrate directly into the base of the skin, effectively inhibiting the production of melanin, and being easily absorbed by the skin.

Features 3. Safety and efficacy: The safety and efficacy of tranexamic acid have been proved by a large number of studies, and there are also a lot of relevant data.

What can't tranexamic acid be used with?

Tranexamic acid cannot be used at the same time as acidic products. This ingredient has the functions of inhibiting melanin, preventing pigmentation, eliminating facial pigmentation, and whitening.

The ingredients for whitening spots should avoid light, but tranexamic acid is not needed. It can be used during the day and at night, but if you want to lighten spots, you must use some whitening skin care products, and pay attention to sun protection, because the Ultraviolet rays will accelerate the formation and precipitation of melanin. If melanin pigmentation appears on the face, you can use skin care products containing tranexamic acid to improve.

Tranexamic acid can be used on any skin. This ingredient has no irritating effect on the skin, but you should pay attention to the dosage. Allergic skin should do an allergy test before use, and apply this ingredient on delicate skin such as behind the ears and inside the wrist. , about 2 hours, you can continue to use it if there is no problem.

Of course, there are some substances that work better in combination. For example, it can be used together with astaxanthin, there will be no conflict between the two, and it can also be used in combination with hyaluronic acid. Although hyaluronic acid has "acid" to moisturize, it works better with tranexamic acid.

Are there any adverse reactions to tranexamic acid?

Although tranexamic acid can play a role in whitening and fading spots, it is necessary to know the potential dangers, which can be easily avoided without blind use. Branded skin care products do not contain more than 4% of this ingredient. But there are also some counterfeit products, in order to achieve the purpose of whitening, a large amount of tranexamic acid is added, which leads to the danger of use.

To avoid the adverse reactions of tranexamic acid, the key is to strictly control the dosage and the duration of taking it. Because some whitening needles contain tranexamic acid, do not take it casually to avoid serious adverse reactions.

If it is a darker spot, the freckle removal effect after whitening will not be very good, and it will only make the spot more obvious. You can make up for this embarrassment by adding various ingredients. Niacinamide and tranexamic acid can be taken at the same time, which has the effect of whitening and fading.
