Naturium tranexamic acid brightening treatment

Tranexamic acid can influence pigment-producing signals in the skin. In a topical treatment, it is used as part of a skincare routine for concerns such as post-inflammatory marks or melasma. It does not bleach the skin or diagnose why a patch has appeared.

Sunlight can deepen pigmentation and undermine progress, including through everyday exposure. A broad-spectrum sunscreen, shade and protective clothing can support treatment. Read more about the ingredient in [Tranexamic Acid](/materials/tranexamic-acid/).

Follow the label and apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin. If you react easily, start on a small area and use it less often while your skin adjusts. Keep the rest of the routine simple with a gentle cleanser and moisturiser, and avoid applying it to broken skin.

Do not introduce multiple strong exfoliants or retinoids at the same time. Burning, swelling, hives or a worsening rash means you should stop and seek advice. A dermatologist can tailor treatment for melasma; see [Tranexamic Acid for Melasma](/treatments/medical-dermatology/tranexamic-acid-for-melasma/).

Arrange a skin examination for a new or changing dark patch, especially if it is uneven, itchy, painful, bleeding or crusted. Cosmetic brightening should wait until a concerning lesion has been assessed.

Seek urgent help for facial swelling, wheezing or difficulty breathing after use. If you are discussing tranexamic acid tablets for menstrual bleeding, remember that this is a different medical use; [Tranexamic Acid for Heavy Bleeding](/treatments/medical-gynaecology/tranexamic-acid-for-heavy-bleeding/) covers that context.

Ask what is causing the uneven tone, whether this product fits your skin, which products should not be combined with it, and how long to continue before review. Mention pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies and any prescription creams.
