Can tranexamic acid solution be used every day?

Tranexamic acid is a whitening substance that has moved more from the clinical field to the cosmetics industry. Many skin care products have added different doses of tranexamic acid to achieve a whitening effect. Among them, tranexamic acid stock solution can be said to be the tranexamic acid product with the highest tranexamic acid content. So, can tranexamic acid stock solution be used every day? What is the best way to use it? Let’s take a look together!

Can tranexamic acid solution be used every day?

Tranexamic acid stock solution cannot be used every day because it is harmful to the body. Although the content of tranexamic acid in skin care products is relatively small, excessive use will also have adverse effects on the human body. For example, it is not suitable to use tranexamic acid during menstruation because tranexamic acid has a hemostatic effect and will affect menstruation. Whitening injections also contain tranexamic acid. Long-term injection may cause some problems such as mastitis.

Correct use of tranexamic acid stock solution

Tranexamic acid stock solution should be used after toner and eye cream and before moisturizing cream. The specific usage is to take a few drops of essence and put them on the palm of your hand, then apply them evenly on the forehead, cheeks and chin, and spread them evenly. Massage slowly, lifting and massaging the cheeks from bottom to top, and massaging the area around the eyes from the inside to the outside. Massage for three to five minutes. You can also use two or three drops each time and apply it all over your face. It can be used at night or during the day without avoiding light.

The effect of tranexamic acid solution

1. Tranexamic acid is a protease inhibitor that can inhibit the catalytic effect of proteases on the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, thereby preventing the activity of enzymes such as inflammatory proteases, and then inhibiting the disorder of epidermal cell function in the dark spots, and inhibiting the melanin enhancing factor group, and completely cutting off the pathway of melanin formation due to ultraviolet radiation. That is, it prevents dark spots from becoming thicker, larger, and more numerous, thereby effectively preventing and improving skin pigmentation.

2. Tranexamic acid also has the function of acting as a hemostatic agent. It is also the main ingredient of many whitening injections. The dermatology department of hospitals also uses tranexamic acid as an oral freckle product. The effect of topical tranexamic acid is limited and is far less effective than oral tranexamic acid. It can be taken orally and topically to achieve better results.
