Key Instructions for Tranexamic Acid Peels

Preparation: A gentle cleanser should be used to remove impurities, avoiding the eye area. You can then use your favorite toner, then this will be your next step 

Application: Apply the product evenly, focusing on areas with pigmentation or uneven tone, in a thin layer and allow to absorb for 5 minutes. Do not remove! Begin with every other evening use, then move up to nightly if your skin tolerates the peel without irritation. You can then apply your moisturizer over top of the product. 

Layering safely: It pairs beautifully with ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. However, using it alongside other potent acids (like glycolic or salicylic acid) can cause dryness

Post-Peel Care:

Use sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily, which is crucial as the skin is more sensitive and prone to sun damage.we recommend a mineral formula to avoid any irritation from the chemicals in other sunscreens.

Precautionary Advice
Patch Test: Always conduct a patch test, particularly on sensitive skin.
