"The INKEY List Tranexamic Acid Night Treatment is awesome if you are someone who struggles with hyperpigmentation or dark spots within the skin. It says you can use this on its own but I personally use it with a moisturizer just for added benefits. This one is a pretty simple formula as opposed to the other ones which have a bunch of other ingredients to help target those issues as well, but if you're someone who's new to this or just wants a really simple product, this one is a great one for that."

What the evidence says.

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

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

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.
