Facetheory uses tranexamic acid, shown by in-vitro testing to reduce spots and prevent pigmentation with no significant side effects after 8 weeks of continued use. A synthetic analogue of the amino lysine, tranexamic acid interferes with the chemical pathway that produces melanin, which makes it effective for use as a depigmentation agent. Glycolic acid is an AHA that exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the top layers of skin) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, brighter skin.
