Active & Key Ingredients
Tranexamic Acid 3% – Inhibits plasmin, reduces melanocyte activation, effective against melasma and pigmentation

HPA 1% – Inhibits melanin transfer more effectively than kojic or arbutin, with UVB protective effects

Salicylic Acid 0.3% – Light BHA to clear pores and enhance penetration

Niacinamide – Strengthens barrier, reduces redness, enhances pigment-lowering synergy

Sodium Hyaluronate – Hydrates and soothes

Turmeric Extract – Anti-inflammatory to calm the formula
