Tranex Melasma Serum

Visible brightening in just 2 weeks with 5% Tranexamic Acid

This brightening functional serum is formulated with 5% high-purity (99.9%) tranexamic acid. It targets melanin deep within the skin and addresses surface-level dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide is also included at the maximum concentration approved by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety—5%—to further support tone-evening results. The lightweight emulsion texture absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, leaving behind a subtle, dewy glow and a fresh finish.

Clinically proven brightening results in 2 weeks

A 2-week clinical study conducted on 20 adult women demonstrated meaningful improvements across multiple skin clarity markers.

• 37.32% improvement in melanin within the skin
• 39.61% improvement in surface pigmentation
• 10.81% improvement in dark spots and hyperpigmentation
• 113.33% improvement in skin radiance and luminosity

In the user satisfaction survey, 100% of participants reported improvement in dark spots, skin tone brightness, and radiance.

Synergistic brightening ingredient blend

Beyond tranexamic acid and niacinamide, this serum includes a supporting cast of brightening actives.

• Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C derivative): helps refine skin tone
• Kakadu Plum Extract: delivers natural vitamin C
• Bisabolol: soothes the skin
• Glutathione: supports a clear, even complexion

Dermatologist-tested on sensitive skin with a 0.00 irritation score, this serum is gentle enough for even reactive skin types. Ideal for anyone concerned with dark spots or hyperpigmentation, or those looking to brighten a dull, uneven complexion.

Targeted brightening at the serum step

After cleansing and toning to prep your skin, apply this serum during your essence or serum step. With 5% tranexamic acid, this is a high-performance brightening serum — for best absorption, use it on hydrated skin rather than bare skin straight after cleansing. Follow with your moisturizer and sunscreen.

Safe for morning and evening use

Unlike light-sensitive actives such as retinol, this serum can be used morning and night without restriction. If applying in the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect and preserve your brightening results. At night, tranexamic acid works in sync with your skin's natural renewal cycle to target dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

1–2 pumps for lightweight absorption

After cleansing and toning, dispense 1–2 pumps and smooth evenly across your face. Gently pat from the center outward, following the natural contours of your skin to help absorption. The liquid texture sinks in without any sticky residue and layers beautifully under your next skincare step.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• For dark spots and melasma: Layer with Tranex Melazero Melasma Cream from the same line after this serum for enhanced results
• For dull, uneven tone: Ascorbyl glucoside (a vitamin C derivative) and Kakadu plum extract work together to support tone-evening
• On high sun-exposure days: Finish your morning routine with SPF 50 or higher sunscreen to help prevent new pigmentation from forming
