Dermatologist Note

Combines tranexamic acid with niacinamide and arbutin for a triple-pathway approach to hyperpigmentation. Tranexamic acid works by inhibiting the interaction between keratinocytes and melanocytes — reducing the signal that triggers excess melanin production. A 2017 study showed topical tranexamic acid (2–5%) reduced melasma by 47% after 12 weeks — comparable to hydroquinone with fewer side effects.

Based on published clinical literature and dermatological research.
