But, as with any new skincare ingredient, it is always best to do a patch test on a small area of skin before using it for the first time to avoid an adverse initial reaction. How Long Does It Take Tranexamic Acid To Work On Skin?

These coenzymes play an important role in cellular metabolism, which means they provide skin cells with the energy needed to function properly. A publication in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, states that niacinamide can repair the skin barrier and improve skin moisture, as well as reduce inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkling.

Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin and improves the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Lactic acid is also a Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), which helps to keep the skin hydrated and moisturized. Name rings a bell?

All of these actives are suspended in a light, lotion-like emulsion that is easily absorbed by the skin. I recently got into skincare and have been researching the crap out of it. My mom has been suffering from pretty bad melasma around her mouth and face that of course got worse in the summer. Lactic acid not only exfoliates the skin but can also help hydrate and moisturize the skin. It is a Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), which is a compound found naturally in our epidermis that helps keep the skin hydrated and has water-binding properties. Glycolic acid is an AHA that exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the top layers of skin) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, brighter skin.When applied in a specific and controlled dose as a topical serum it is safe to use daily', says Dr Chantrey. As an ingredient, it can be used morning or evening. What other ingredients can you use alongside tranexamic acid?
