Exaglow Serum’s lightweight formulation contains tranexamic acid and stabilised vitamin C to help diminish the appearance of skin discolouration, pigmentation, melasma and age spots, so your skin appears more even, luminous and bright.

• • A synthetic analogue of the amino lysine, tranexamic acid interferes with the chemical pathway that produces melanin, which makes it effective for use as a depigmentation agent.
  • Facetheory uses tranexamic acid, shown by in-vitro testing to reduce spots and prevent pigmentation with no significant side effects after 8 weeks of continued use.
  • Tranexamic acid has an excellent safety profile for use in skin care and is well tolerated by most skin types.
  • Stabilised vitamin C used in the serum can help brighten dull skin, reduce the appearance of age spots and hyperpigmentation, and significantly reduce acne bacteria.
  • Liquorice calms stressed or sensitive skin while balancing oily or congested complexions.
