HERO INGREDIENT
Tranexamic Acid
Fade stubborn pigmentation. Even out your tone. Bring back your skin's clarity.
Tranexamic Acid is a pigmentation-targeting ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone by interfering with pathways involved in excess melanin production.
KEY BENEFITS
Targets Uneven Skin Tone
Helps improve the appearance of areas where excess pigment makes the complexion look uneven.
Helps With Post-Acne Marks
Can help fade brown or dark marks that remain after acne and inflammation have healed.

Supports a More Even-Looking Complexion
By targeting excess pigmentation, tranexamic acid can gradually help the skin look clearer and more balanced.

A LITTLE EXTRA TO KNOW
How to Use Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic Acid is commonly found in serums, creams, and other leave-on products designed for pigmentation. Apply it according to the product's instructions, usually after cleansing and before moisturizer.
It can generally be incorporated into a regular skincare routine, but introduce new active ingredients gradually if your skin is sensitive. Daily sunscreen is essential when working on pigmentation.
Mimii Note
♡
Tranexamic Acid is more of a pigmentation strategist than a harsh exfoliator. It works on the pathways behind excess pigment, so don't expect your dark spots to disappear overnight. Consistency + sunscreen is the real power combo.
