What it is

A targeted dark spot serum combining tranexamic acid with centella and niacinamide to brighten uneven tone while soothing and hydrating the skin.

Who it's for

  • Skin with dark spots, post-blemish marks, or uneven tone.
  • Those seeking a gentle brightener with soothing centella support.
  • Users layering brightening serums who want a lightweight, non-sticky formula.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Tranexamic Acid (4%) — cosmetic brightening active to reduce the look of dark spots.
  • Niacinamide — supports even tone appearance and barrier resilience.
  • Centella Asiatica/Madecassoside — soothe and comfort visible irritation.
  • Panthenol/Humectants — hydrate and maintain slip.

Free-from / texture

  • Lightweight, watery serum; fast-absorbing, non-sticky finish.
  • Generally low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
  • Layers cleanly under moisturizer and sunscreen.

How to use & order

  • Apply after toner/essence; use 1–2 pumps on face/neck.
  • Use morning and/or night; always follow with sunscreen during the day.
  • Spot-apply or use all over for overall tone evening.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally compatible; if using strong acids/retinoids, alternate nights to avoid over-sensitizing.
  • Pair with hydrating toner and moisturizer to buffer potential dryness.
  • Patch test if very reactive or post-procedure.

Evidence & notes

  • TXA and niacinamide are cosmetic brightening ingredients; dark-spot reduction is cosmetic in nature.
  • Centella and panthenol help soothe; consistent sunscreen is essential when using brighteners.
  • Results vary; allow several weeks of consistent use for visible improvements.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Avoid broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
