“Great for promoting collagen production, but not ideal for treating hyperpigmentation. But when you pair it with things like tranexamic acid or other things that usually have a hard time penetrating the skin, you create micro channels. So they can go deeper into the skin to where they're supposed to work, which means you increase their effectiveness.”
