Frequently asked questions
Which tranexamic acid product should I start with?
Which tranexamic acid product should I start with?
Start with the SkinCeuticals Discolouration Defense Serum — it combines tranexamic acid, kojic acid and niacinamide to target stubborn dark patches and post-blemish marks. Layer the SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF 50 over it every morning to lock in progress. The serum does the correcting; the SPF stops new discolouration forming.
How do I use the serum and SPF together?
How do I use the serum and SPF together?
Apply a pea-sized amount of Discolouration Defense Serum to clean skin morning and night, concentrating on the darker areas. Each morning finish with Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF 50 as your last step — its tinted SPF 50 shields the exact marks you are fading. Skipping daytime SPF undoes the serum's work, so treat them as a pair.
What does tranexamic acid do?
What does tranexamic acid do?
Tranexamic acid targets the look of persistent brown patches and post-blemish marks that ordinary vitamin C leaves behind. In Discolouration Defense it partners with kojic acid and niacinamide to visibly brighten uneven tone. Expect a fresher, more even complexion across eight to twelve weeks.
Will it fade melasma-style patches and old marks?
Will it fade melasma-style patches and old marks?
Tranexamic acid is my pick for the diffuse, hormonal-looking discolouration that resists other brighteners, which is exactly what Discolouration Defense targets. It also softens the look of post-blemish marks and sun-related patches. Pair it with the SPF 50 daily, since UV is the single biggest driver of these marks returning.
