The INKEY List 2% Tranexamic Acid Treatment Serum – 30 ml

Hyperpigmentation can be stubborn, especially in Dhaka, where intense UV exposure and urban pollution trigger excess melanin production, leaving behind dark spots and uneven patches. The INKEY List 2% Tranexamic Acid Treatment Serum – 30 ml is a targeted treatment designed to address these concerns by focusing on the root of pigment production. It is a lightweight, water-based serum that suits those who need a gentle yet effective way to brighten the appearance of the skin without the irritation often associated with stronger acids.

How does Tranexamic Acid work

The INKEY List 2% Tranexamic Acid Treatment Serum – 30 ml is a brightening serum that helps fade the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the pathway that triggers melanin production. Unlike exfoliants that strip the surface, tranexamic acid works by calming the skin's response to UV damage and inflammation, which prevents new pigment from forming while helping existing spots fade over time.

By slowing down the interaction between melanocytes and keratinocytes, this ingredient supports a more uniform skin tone. It is particularly useful for those dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — the dark marks left behind after a breakout — and melasma, which is often exacerbated by the heat and humidity common in Bangladesh. Because it does not rely on aggressive peeling, it maintains the skin barrier's integrity while improving clarity.

Ideal for

• Skin with dark spots or patches caused by sun exposure and UV damage
• Post-acne marks (PIH) that linger long after the breakout has cleared
• Uneven skin tone and dullness caused by environmental pollution
• Those who find traditional brightening acids too harsh or irritating for daily use
• All skin types, including oily and combination skin, due to its non-greasy finish

Those with extremely reactive skin should perform a patch test on the jawline or inner arm before full application to ensure no sensitivity to the active concentration.

How to apply

1. Start with a clean, dry face after your evening double cleanse
2. Apply 2-3 drops of the serum to your fingertips and press gently into the skin, focusing on areas with visible hyperpigmentation
3. Allow the serum to absorb fully for a minute before layering your moisturiser
4. Use this treatment primarily in your PM routine to avoid any potential UV interactions during the day
5. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning — this is non-negotiable, as any brightening treatment is ineffective if the skin is not protected from Bangladesh's strong year-round UV rays

The bigger picture

It is important to understand that hyperpigmentation does not vanish overnight. The INKEY List 2% Tranexamic Acid Treatment Serum – 30 ml works through consistency rather than intensity. You should expect to see a gradual evening of the skin tone over 4 to 8 weeks of regular use. Because this formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, it remains comfortable even during the monsoon humidity. Real results come from the combination of this targeted treatment and a strict daily sunscreen habit, as the sun will quickly undo the progress made by any brightening serum.
