Naturium Tranexamic Acid Brightening Serum 5% — 1 oz with Kojic Acid & Niacinamide for Even Tone

Naturium Tranexamic Topical Acid 5% is a targeted brightening serum formulated to help even skin tone and support a calmer, more radiant complexion.

This lightweight 1 oz serum combines a clinical strength 5% tranexamic acid with complementary actives—kojic acid, niacinamide and licorice root extract—to address visible unevenness and support skin barrier comfort. The formula is pH-appropriate, vegan, cruelty-free and free of parabens and gluten, designed to layer into both morning and evening skincare routines when used gradually and with sun protection.

How should I incorporate this serum into my daily routine?

Start slowly: apply 1–2 pea-sized drops to clean, dry skin once a day, increasing to AM and PM as tolerated. Because it’s active-focused, pair it with a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and daily broad-spectrum SPF in the morning to protect results.

• Use 1–2 pea-sized drops; gently pat over face and neck.
• Introduce gradually—begin with nightly use and add mornings if skin tolerates it.
• Always follow with moisturizer; apply SPF every morning.

What skin concerns can this tranexamic formula help with?

The serum targets visible uneven pigmentation and helps smooth skin texture while supporting a calmer barrier. It’s formulated to work alongside kojic acid and niacinamide to address dullness and the look of discoloration without heavy oils.

• Formulated to visibly improve appearance of uneven skin tone.
• Kojic acid and niacinamide help brighten and refine texture.
• Licorice root offers antioxidant-supporting botanicals for a gentler approach.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin and how do I avoid irritation?

Many skin types, including sensitive and problematic skin, can use this serum when introduced gradually. A patch test is recommended; if you notice mild sensitivity, reduce frequency until your skin acclimates.

• Patch test before full-face use to check tolerance.
• If redness or irritation occurs, decrease use to every other day.
• Avoid combining multiple strong actives at once; consult with a dermatologist for layered treatments.
