  • BEST SERUM FOR HYPERSENSITIVE SKIN

    I purchased this product twice. I have rosacea prone skin and I choose my serums very carefully. This is this best serum for hyperpigmentation on my skin as it does not trigger rosacea and gives my the results i wanted.

  • REALLY WORKS!

    This is a repeat buy for me. Unfortunately my skin is too sensitive for the vitamin C serum so I’m really happy to have found this!

FAQ

All your questions about the Tranexamic & Arbutin Advanced Brightening Serum

How is this product different from your other brightening products?

Our potent Vitamin C serums offer brightening, firming, and antioxidant protection, while our Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum offers optimal pigmentation correction, blemish control and exfoliation. This advanced non-exfoliating brightening formula maxes both brightening and pigmentation correction, while supporting the skin barrier and helping strengthen skin – ideal for those with more sensitive or compromised skin.

Is the serum vegan?

Yes, the formula is developed respectfully with vegan lifestyle choices.

Can this be used to replace Vitamin C?

While this formula is great for brightening, it does not fully substitute Vitamin C, as our Vitamin C serums have antioxidant protection properties, firm skin & boost efficacy of SPF. Both can be used together for a supercharged treatment, as our waterless Vitamin C serums don’t have additional brighteners.

Why has the colour of the formula changed?

The colour of the formula might slightly change as time goes by. This is a known phenomenon which occurs due to the potency of active ingredients that have a darker natural hue, and the efficacy of the formula is not affected.

What products/ingredients can this product not be paired with?

This product is ideal for use with Molecular Barrier Recovery Cream Balm in order to help further support post-procedure or post-treatment recovery. We develop our formulas to work synergistically together. This product can be used alongside our products containing AHAs, BHA, and/or Retinoids. When you introduce new products into your regimen, do a patch test and always consult with your doctor or dermatologist, especially in your post-procedure regimens. Our products containing AHAs, BHA, and/or Retinoids along with this product are also safe for use.

Is this pregnancy safe?

This product contains ingredients that are not suitable for use during pregnancy.

      PRODUCT INFORMATION

      The perfect brightening formula does exist – no exfoliation needed.

      Combining proven brighteners with modern-day clinically backed antioxidants, we've developed our ultimate solution for those dreaming of luminous skin without the effects of exfoliants and reduced risk of irritation.

      Even when your skin is sensitized, our serum is the perfect way to help strengthen and support your complexion. Tranexamic Acid helps support the skin barrier, while brighteners and peptides supercharge radiance and firmness. With its liquid-soft, smooth texture, this serum sinks easily into the skin.

      Such a light serum !

      I haven't been using this serum enough to comment on its effectiveness, but I wanted to share my first impressions. This serum is extremely light, and I love how easy it can be layered on the skin. I am using it along with other products from the brand and they all work beautifully together. I am so excited that Allies of Skin reformulated this serum so that they could sell it overseas. I hope it works its magic soon so that I can get back here in a few months with even better news. So far, it looks promising and I love it!

      superb

      I have been using this serum for a week now and I can already see improvements. I suffer from melasma and I try to keep it under control. This serum is so much effective and pleasant to use than its previous version! I truly recommend it!
