Transexamic Acid Purifying Cleanser

Transexamic Acid Purifying Cleanser

The Tranexamic Acid Purifying Cleanser is a gentle yet powerful solution for skin
types struggling with melasma, pigmentation, acne, and post-inflammatory dark
spots. Designed with skin barrier support and melanin regulation in mind, this
cleanser doesn’t just remove dirt and oil — it targets the root causes of uneven skin
tone using a high-performance blend of tranexamic acid, azelaic amide, bamboo
charcoal, and Atractylodes extract.


With a non-comedogenic, low-foam amino acid base, it purifies without disrupting the
skin's natural barrier — making it perfect for sensitive, pigment-prone skin.  Rinse-off nature limits systemic exposure.

Clinical Context: Why Cleansing Matters in Pigmentation & Melasma
Most pigmentation care focuses on treatments and serums — but the wrong cleanser
can sabotage your entire routine. Harsh surfactants strip the barrier, triggering
inflammation and melanin production.


This formula was developed with melasma-prone and acne-prone skin in mind. By
using gentle surfactants and targeted actives, it helps:
✔ Remove impurities without barrier disruption
✔ Support pigmentation care from step one
✔ Clear acne-causing buildup without over-drying
✔ Calm redness, irritation, and inflammation

✔ Melasma, hyperpigmentation & dark spots
