Why tranexamic acid is skincare's most underrated brightening ingredient
Dark spots and acne scarring rarely disappear overnight. It takes a formula that works consistently, day after day, to visibly even out skin tone.
That's exactly why this serum from Korean Essence is built around 5% tranexamic acid, one of the highest concentrations of its kind, alongside 10% niacinamide and 2% arbutin. Tranexamic acid targets dark spots and scarring, while niacinamide and arbutin contribute to a more even, brighter skin tone. Ten layers of hyaluronic acid, together with panthenol and betaine, give skin deep, long-lasting hydration.
The formula is light, fragrance-free and low-irritation, making it gentle enough for daily use, even on sensitive skin.
