Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid

Also known as TXA

Comedogenic rating 0/5

A lysine analogue used orally for heavy bleeding and, topically, for stubborn pigmentation.

Why it matters

One of the more credible options for melasma-prone skin when used consistently.

Cautions

Topical use is generally well tolerated. Oral TXA is a drug, not a serum — do not confuse the two.
