Cetyl Tranexamate HCI (TXC™)
High-Performance Brightening Active
CA$20.00CA$18.00
An advanced, oil-soluble derivative of tranexamic acid, scientifically designed to penetrate deeper into the epidermis, offering up to 60 times higher efficacy in treating stubborn hyperpigmentation compared to traditional, water-soluble Tranexamic Acid.
Developed for advanced skincare formulators, this white powder acts on the "root" of pigment formation, reducing melanin production and calming inflammation-induced dark spots, such as melasma and acne scars.
Key Benefits:
Superior Brightening: Dramatically reduces the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and age spots for a more radiant, uniform complexion.
Deep Penetration: The unique lipophilic (oil-loving) structure allows it to penetrate the epidermal layer far better than standard Tranexamic Acid.
Calms & Smooths: Acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory to reduce redness and post-acne pigmentation (PIE/PIH).
Long-Lasting Action: Once applied, it is gradually activated by esterase enzymes within the skin, providing a sustained brightening effect.
Safe & Gentle: Well-tolerated by most skin types, making it an excellent alternative to harsh whitening agents.
