The best tranexamic acid serums
Typology tranexamic acid serum
Typology's hyperpigmentation and loss of firmness serum has an anti-spot and anti-aging formulation. Its fluid, milky texture is suitable for all skin types. However, I recommend a more watery formula for those suffering from hyperseborrhea. This concentrate contains 5 % of tranexamic acid, an effective dosage for targeting skin with pigmentation spots, and I've noticed a nice improvement in small spots as I've used it.
Alongside it, a peptide acts on skin slackening. It promotes fibroblast activity and reinforces the power of tranexamic acid, as it also stops certain melanogenesis reactions.
It also contains emollients like caprylyl/capric triglyceride to strengthen your skin barrier and maintain its hydration.
This anti-wrinkle and anti-aging serum with tranexamic acid is perfect for unifying and illuminating your complexion while redensifying your tissues.
Paula's Choice Anti-Spot Serum
We continue with Paula's Choice Clinical anti-spot serum. It has a sophisticated formula combining 5 % niacinamide, 3 % tranexamic acid and 0.5 % backukiol that gently but effectively improves post-acne marques and brown spots. Its fluid texture is very pleasant to apply and quickly penetrates the skin to diffuse these active ingredients.
This trio of active ingredients, combined with a fine balance of emollients and humectants, is perfect for keeping your tissues beautifully hydrated. The only drawback is that it's a little more expensive than its predecessor, but remains an excellent alternative for treating melasma and stubborn spots. A 30 ml pump bottle costs 55 euros.
Tranexamic acid The Inkey List
I can suggest The Inkey List's tranexamic acid serum, which is a good alternative for dull, sensitive skin wishing to make a gentle start with this active ingredient. This product focuses on reducing complexion irregularities via a very good trio.
2 % tranexamic acid
2 % acai berry to complement the action of tranexamic acid and even out skin tone
And 2 % ascorbyl glucoside, a vitamin C derivative that also helps brighten skin tone.
This anti-spot serum also works to moisturize the skin, thanks to the right balance of humectants and emollients. Its gel texture contains mainly humectants such as glycerine and butylene glycol, which is a humectant and a solvent, and a small amount of squalane, which prevents water from evaporating. In my opinion, it's ideal for combination to oily skin, with good value for money at 14 euros 99 a bottle.
Vichy B3 lift activ
Finally, a product that contains tranexamic acid, but which is not particularly promoted by the brand, is
The Vichy Lifactiv specialist anti-spot serum with vitamin B3 develops a combination of four formidable active ingredients for hyperpigmentation problems. Its fluid, watery texture is suitable for all skin types, but offers an ideal sensoriality for shiny faces with acne lesions, blackheads or blackheads.
The tranexamic acid/niacinamide duo acts on melanogenesis. Together, they regulate pigment production and transfer, while reducing the vascular disorder also responsible for dark spots. Glycolic acid accelerates cell regeneration, promoting desquamation and thus dispersing the clusters of melanin that form brown spots.
At the same time, peptides stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis to improve the appearance of wrinkles. Vichy's formula doesn't stop there. To boost the complexion's radiance, it adds a vitamin C derivative, ferments and hydrolyzed rice proteins, ingredients reputed to illuminate the skin. Count 41 euros 90 euros for 30 ml on the Vichy laboratoire website.
