I’m always interested in the next big thing when it comes to skincare and I recently was got a preview of coming attractions—Tranexamic Acid. This skincare ingredient is proving to be incredibly effective for minimizing hyperpigmentation, which is caused by an increase in melanin, the substance in the body that is responsible for color (pigment). The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum is a new product from The A Method that was created to minimize those unwanted dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Whether you are experiencing hyperpigmentation due to a health condition or simply have “age spots” that are the result of sun exposure, The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum can help brighten the skin and even out skin tone.
Created by celebrity dermatologist, Dr. Tina Alster, The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum is formulated with a 10% Tranexamic Acid complex plus five other pigment correcting, skin brightening ingredients. This serum will help to tighten, improve texture, tone and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Skin Perfecting Serum also helps stimulate natural collagen production. According Dr. Alster, “Tranexamic Acid is a powerhouse skin lightening ingredient that is as effective as Hydroquinone but has a much better safety profile. It evens out skin tone with little to no irritation or peeling and plays well with other active ingredients such as Vitamin C and retinol.”
Studies have revealed that Tranexamic Acid slows down the production of melanin and can even block the transfer of pigment from melanocytes to keratinocytes. For anyone that is facing uneven, blotchy skin, this product is a game changer. Tranexamic Acid provides an optimal environment for healthy skin to fight off free radical damage and other stressors—pesky culprits that often may cause additional pigmentation.
This product is suitable for all skin types and can be used during pregnancy. It is recommended to use the serum twice daily—and while it’s ideal for the face, it can also be used on other body areas underneath a moisturizer. It feels light on the skin and absorbs quickly. I’ve been using on some discolored areas on my hands and it seems be lightening up those troublesome spots.
In addition to the star of the show—Tranexamic Acid—The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum contains several other key ingredients:
* Trichloroacetic Acid
* Phytic Acid
* Glycolic Acid
* Salicylic Acid
* Gluconolactone
The serum is also paraben-free, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, gluten-free and vegan. For maximum results, apply after cleansing twice daily (morning and night). Then, follow with your favorite moisturizer. This serum actually helps to increase the effectiveness and absorption of your usual regimen products.
The A Method Skin Perfecting Serum is available on the company’s website. For more information on The A Method, follow the company on Facebook and Instagram.

This sounds like a good product to try out. I hate to get blotchy skin or a rash when trying new products.
