Understanding the Difference: Tranexamic Acid versus Retinol

How does tranexamic acid work? Tranexamic acid works to actively improve existing skin discolorations and also helps prevent the formation of new dark spots. In fact, nearly 96% of study participants who used tranexamic acid saw noticeable improvement after 12 weeks of daily use when coupled with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which is essential to prevent discoloration

Why Tranexamic Acid is the Ultimate Skin Savior

Tranexamic acid and retinol are not the same. Tranexamic acid is a water-soluble synthetic ingredient derived from lysine, an amino acid. To make it most effective for the skin, it should be used alongside oil-soluble ingredients. While tranexamic acid primarily targets discoloration, retinol has a broader range of benefits for the skin.
