1. What are TXA and NIA?
TXA refers to Tranexamic Acid, an ingredient used to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and pigmentation. NIA refers to Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3 that supports the skin barrier and promotes brighter, more even-looking skin.

With regular use, it helps:
- Helps reduce the appearance of dark spots

5. How do TXA and Niacinamide work together?
Tranexamic Acid targets the appearance of uneven tone and stubborn pigmentation, while Niacinamide supports the skin barrier and helps improve brightness. Together, they offer a focused approach to clearer, more even-looking skin.
7. Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
It may be used by acne-prone skin to address the appearance of post-acne marks. Do not apply it to broken skin or actively irritated areas.
8. Does it treat active acne?
No. This cream is designed primarily to improve the appearance of uneven tone and post-acne marks. It is not an acne treatment.
9. How should I use it?
After cleansing and applying your serum, gently massage the recommended amount over your face and neck until fully absorbed.
10. How often can I use it?
Begin with once-daily application and increase to twice daily if your skin is comfortable with it. Always use sunscreen during the daytime.
11. Can I use it in the morning and at night?
Yes. It can be used in either routine. When used during the day, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
12. How much should I apply?
Use approximately one capsule, or the amount indicated on the packaging, for your face and neck.
13. Can it be layered with Vitamin C?
Yes, Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid can generally be used with Vitamin C. If your skin is sensitive, introduce one product at a time or use them in separate routines.
14. Can I use it with retinol or exfoliating acids?
It may be combined with retinoids or exfoliating acids, but using several active ingredients together can increase the risk of irritation. Introduce them gradually or alternate between routines.
15. How long does it take to see visible results?
Skin may feel more hydrated and look brighter sooner, while visible improvements in dark spots and uneven tone require consistent use. Results vary between individuals.
16. Will it permanently remove pigmentation?
No skincare product can guarantee permanent removal of pigmentation. Consistent use, daily sunscreen and avoiding unnecessary sun exposure are important for maintaining results.
17. Is sunscreen necessary while using it?
Yes. Daily sunscreen is essential because UV exposure can worsen pigmentation and reduce the visible benefits of a brightening routine.
18. Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before adding any new active skincare product to your routine.
19. Should I patch-test it first?
Yes. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner arm and observe the area for 24 hours before using it on your face.
