Key Ingredients: 3% TRANEXAMIC ACID This synthetically-derived ingredient minimizes the recurrence of skin discoloration and stubborn brown patches with continued use. 1% KOJIC ACID Naturally produced by certain fungi, kojic acid helps improve skin brightness. 5% NIACINAMIDE Also known as vitamin B3, this water-soluble vitamin is found naturally in yeast, meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, beans, and cereal grains.
