Tranexamic Acid is the latest “it” ingredient for dark spots. It’s supposed to reduce the appearance of darkness caused by sun damage within a number of weeks. it’s also the key ingredient in Murad’s Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum. This serum is an elegant blend of glycolic acid and Tranexamic acid so it exfoliates and makes skin brighter. The instructions say that you can use this morning and night, but I find it too drying to do that, so I just use it at night. I’ve noticed a major difference in the 3-4 weeks of using it even when I don’t use it daily.
$94 at Sephora.
