Reviews Summary
Customers say this serum has a lightweight, smooth texture that absorbs quickly into skin. Many users report visible improvements in dark spots and uneven skin tone after several weeks of use. While some notice results within a few weeks, others mention needing more time to see changes. The gel-like formula works well under other products, though several note a slight unusual scent. Some users report packaging issues with the pump dispenser. Reviews are mixed on effectiveness, with most seeing gradual improvements while others notice limited results.

    Not for me

    I really wanted to give this one a good go as hyperpigmentation is one of my biggest skin concerns. However, it reacted badly with my skin which is odd since I don't normally have reactions to many things at all. I wanted to try using it 1-2x per week to get my skin used to it. But after stopping for a week to let my skin breathe the very next time I used it I had the same reaction.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest feedback, Nima.

    We're truly sorry to hear that our Tranexamic Acid Serum didn't meet your expectations after consistent use. While many customers notice fading effects from our serum, we understand that everyone's skin can respond differently, and results can vary greatly from person to person. We recognise how disappointing it must be when a product doesn't deliver the results you were hoping for, especially after dedicated daily use. Please do reach out to our askINKEY Team if we can support you further with your experience 🖤
