What it is and what it does
Earn $6 back in Skin Type Cash on purchases of Derma Made TXA Serum! Derma Made TXA Serum (formerly Melafade Serum) is an affordable brightening serum in the battle against uneven skin pigmentation, dark spots, and melasma. Developed by a dermatologist for her own melasma patients, this bestselling skin lightening serum is specifically formulated to help even out your complexion for a more radiant, luminous look.
The TXA Serum is powered by a potent blend of skin-lightening actives, including 5% Tranexamic Acid, 2% alpha arbutin, and 1% Hexylresorcinol. These ingredients work synergistically to help inhibit melanin production, the pigment responsible for causing dark spots and hyperpigmentation. With regular use, this serum can help fade existing discoloration and prevent new dark spots from forming, leaving you with a more uniform, clarified complexion.
The TXA Serum has a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that layers seamlessly under moisturizer and makeup. It is free of harsh bleaching agents like hydroquinone, making it a safer, gentler option for those with sensitive skin.
Simply apply a few drops to clean skin every morning and night to kick-start your journey towards brighter, more even-toned skin.
Don't let hyperpigmentation dim your glow. Try Derma Made TXA Serum and unveil your most radiant, even-toned skin yet.
