Tranexamic Acid Night Treatment
Reviewed by SerumTruth Editorial · Updated July 2026
A cheap, sensible way to add disclosed tranexamic acid to a routine for the appearance of an even tone. It is one main active and a slow one, so judge it over months, but at this price it is easy to justify.
- Evidence21 / 30
Strength of the research behind the key actives
- Tranexamic Acid: moderate evidence
- Score is the average of the key actives’ evidence grades.
- Potency21 / 25
Dosed at studied levels, not fairy-dusted
- Tranexamic Acid (2%): dosed at a studied level
- Potency tracks how strongly the actives are dosed, led by the strongest, not how many there are.
- Delivery & stability16 / 20
Delivery tech + packaging that protects fragile actives
- Delivery: standard
- Packaging: airless, opaque
- No fragile actives here, so packaging barely moves the score.
- Formulation8 / 10
Disclosure, active breadth, and ingredient generation
- 1 of 1 actives disclose a concentration
- 1 key active (breadth credit caps at 3)
- Current-generation or synergistic: Tranexamic Acid
- Value14 / 15
What a month of use costs vs. the category
- About $11 per month to use
- $19 for 30 ml, used about twice a day (about 0.3 ml each time), so a bottle lasts about 1.7 months
- Band: $6/month or less earns full marks, $60/month or more hits the floor.

What’s inside
| Active | Disclosed | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Tranexamic Acid | 2% | Studied |
2% tranexamic acid with 2% of a stable vitamin C derivative (ascorbyl glucoside) and acai, in a light gel dispensed from an opaque pump. Tranexamic acid targets the appearance of stubborn discoloration by a different route than acids or vitamin C, which is why it layers well with them. The pump keeps air and light off the formula.
How it’s delivered
Air- and light-sensitive actives (vitamin C, copper peptides) lose potency fast in the wrong packaging, so delivery and the bottle are scored, not just what’s on the label.
