Tranexamic acid for skin: What does TXA mean on your serum?

TXA is the abbreviation for tranexamic acid. The list of ingredients says Tranexamic Acid . In facial care, you will primarily encounter the substance in recipes for a more even-looking skin complexion. For example, a small controlled study examined a cream with 2% each of tranexamic acid and niacinamide: After eight weeks, the measured pigmentation improved compared to the comparison cream. This combination was examined. This does not imply any promise for any TXA serum.

In the Anua Niacinamide 10%+TXA 4% Serum both ingredients come together in a different formula. The percentages describe their concentration, not a scale of success. Spread a few drops on the desired areas of the face, pat them in gently and then apply your moisturizer. Anua also recommends at least SPF 30 if used daily.

Before you choose a serum, it’s worth taking a look at what’s actually bothering you: pimple marks and pigment spots are often lumped together in everyday life. Give new care time and don’t add several concentrated products at the same time. If you already use active skincare products, our classification of niacinamide will help with a manageable routine.
