Tranexamic Acid in Skincare: Benefits, How to Use It & Best Korean Products for Dark Spots

Tranexamic Acid is a rising star in Korean skincare — known for its exceptional ability to fade stubborn dark spots, melasma, and post-acne hyperpigmentation without irritating the skin. It works well for all skin tones and types, making it a must-have ingredient for anyone seeking an even, radiant complexion.

What Is Tranexamic Acid?

Originally used in medicine to stop bleeding, Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in skincare helps reduce melanin production and blocks the pathways that lead to discoloration. It’s especially effective for:

• Sun damage & sun spots
• Post-acne marks
• Melasma
• Uneven skin tone

Unlike harsher brightening agents, Tranexamic Acid is gentle enough for daily use, including on sensitive skin.
