Tranexamic acid, widely recognised for its haemostatic properties in medical settings, has found a valuable role in skincare. Dermatologists and skincare enthusiasts laud its efficacy in treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, and discolouration. This quick guide shows how to use tranexamic acid serum effectively, ensuring optimal results and minimal side effects.
Understanding Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine. It works primarily by inhibiting the breakdown of fibrin, which helps control bleeding. In skincare, its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of plasminogen activation, reducing inflammatory mediators and subsequent pigmentation.

Benefits of Pigment Clear Tranexamic Acid Serum
Pigment Clear is has multifaceted benefits for skincare:
1. Reduces Hyperpigmentation: TXA interferes with the pathways that lead to the formation of melanin, making it effective in reducing dark spots and patches.
2. Reduces Melasma: Often recommended for melasma, TXA helps lighten the skin by preventing the exacerbation of pigmentation caused by UV exposure.
3. Evens Skin Tone: Regular use of TXA serum can result in a more uniform skin tone, addressing blotchiness and discolouration.
4. Anti-inflammatory Properties: TXA also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help soothe the skin and reduce redness.
5. Improvement of Skin Barrier Function: By reducing inflammation and promoting a more even skin tone, tranexamic acid can help enhance the overall health of the skin, which may support better management of acne.
How to Use Pigment Clear Tranexamic Acid Serum
1. Cleanse Your Face
Start with a clean canvas. Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and prepare your skin to absorb the serum effectively.
2. Use Led Face Mask
Use your LED mask by choosing the relevant wavelength for you, whether thats red, blue, orange or green.
3. Apply Pigment Clear Serum
- Frequency: Pigment Clear serum can typically be used once daily, preferably in the evening. We suggest starting by using it a few times a week and building up to daily use.
- Amount: Dispense a few drops (usually 2-3) of the serum onto your fingertips.
- Application: Gently massage the serum into your skin, focusing on areas of hyperpigmentation or discolouration. Avoid the immediate eye area.
4. Follow with Moisturiser
After applying the serum, follow with a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture and enhance the serum’s efficacy. This step also helps to maintain the skin barrier and prevent potential irritation.
5. SPF is Essential
Tranexamic acid makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, it is crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 during the day. This will protect your skin from UV damage and prevent further pigmentation issues.
Additional Tips for Using Pigment Clear Tranexamic Acid Serum
- Consistency is Key: For noticeable results, use the serum consistently as part of your daily skincare routine.
- Combine with Other Actives carefully: Tranexamic acid can be used alongside other actives like niacinamide and vitamin C, but it’s best to avoid combining high percentages and strong exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs in the same routine to minimise irritation.
