What the gurus are saying

Reviewers split on stability: the serum destabilizes rapidly with disappointing early results, though some rate it a top-tier depigmentation formula despite the same instability concern (kojic acid lacks proper stabilization). It combines 3% tranexamic acid, 2% kojic acid, licorice extract, and 5% pineapple; patch-test first since pineapple may sensitize.

"It's got 3% tranexamic acid, 2% kojic acid, I do prefer kojic dipalmitate if I can choose, 5% pineapple extract, pineapple can be a little bit sensitizing. I do like that they've added in licorice extract and it's in the therapeutic index, but they haven't stabilized the kojic acid, that's something I would say. I do like the heavy packaging, I think Hyphen has probably one of the best packaging in India. [...] The smell's actually not bad. This is probably my favorite depigmentation serum so far in what we've looked at."

"This products product goes bad so fast that I cannot tell you. I tried this product on my arms and certain places where I had acne marks last year for two weeks. When I wanted to reuse it, it had already gone bad. [...] I think this needs to be reformulated and my result in the first two weeks were not impressive honestly."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Tranexamic acid

Tranexamic acid has a growing body of clinical evidence for melasma and the stubborn patches of pigment that other ingredients struggle with.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
