If you have dark spots on your skin and would like to correct or fade them, we'll tell you what this active ingredient is and why it's increasingly being used in cosmetics and aesthetic medicine.

The depigmenting power of Tranexamic Acid

Yes, the name sounds complex, but this ingredient has the ability to work wonders for your skin, especially when it comes to dark spots.

Tranexamic acid has the ability to work wonders on the skin, especially when it comes to blemishes.

It has become the hero of hyperpigmentation and a powerful highlighter.

Tranexamic acid was discovered by a Japanese doctor in the 1960s and initially had an activity little associated with stains: blood clotting.

But it soon entered the world of dermatology, cosmetics, and aesthetic medicine thanks to clinical studies that indicated another additional benefit: the regulation of the formation of skin spots.

That's why it's one of the star ingredients in SMART BRIGHTENING SERUM . It gives your skin a powerful and effective treatment against one of the problems we're most concerned about: dark spots.

A dark spot is a change that can make us look up to 5 years older and affects the healthy appearance of our skin.

So at NATANA, fully committed to helping you discover the full potential of your healthy, radiant skin, we offer the most comprehensive treatment with tranexamic acid to prevent and treat dark spots on your skin.

Tranexamic acid and stains

This active ingredient acts on all types of melanin-derived spots, meaning those caused by an overproduction of melanin. Within this category, the main types are melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and solar or senile lentigines.

But due to its mechanism of action, it is especially indicated for those spots that are more resistant and recurrent, such as melasma, which is related to a vascular issue.

Tranexamic acid acts on 3 pathways that are directly related to the formation of the stain:

• On melanocytes , regulating the cellular processes involved, preventing and reducing the formation of pigment.
• On keratinocytes . It interrupts the inflammatory process that promotes the formation of spots and can appear after external aggressions or skin injuries such as acne or after certain treatments like laser.
• On blood vessel cells. It reduces the excessive vascularization that characterizes spots such as melasma. These are not only caused by overproduction of melanin but also by the overflow of capillary contents.

It also reduces the excessive vascularization characteristic of some hyperpigmentations such as couperose, rosacea, dilated capillaries, etc.

Few active ingredients act on the 3 pathways directly related to the formation of spots.

Furthermore, when administered topically, it has no major contraindications and is easily tolerated.

And research also shows that tranexamic acid may help reduce certain types of sensitivity-induced skin redness.
