TraneXaMilk Progression
Tranexamic Acid begins blocking the plasminogen-plasmin pathway that triggers melanin production. Lactic Acid initiates gentle surface turnover, which may bring pre-existing congestion to the surface briefly before clearing.
Surface congestion subsides. Panthenol and Allantoin dominate this phase, calming the barrier and beginning the transition to a smoother, more uniform texture as the stratum corneum normalises.
Deep-seated hyperpigmentation and melasma begin to break up as the signalling pathway remains consistently blocked. Betaine and Sodium PCA maintain barrier hydration throughout active correction.
Full cellular turnover complete. Newly formed cells emerge with significantly reduced melanin content, producing a visibly unified skin tone and a measurable reduction in PIE and PIH.
The Philosophy
TraneXaMilk is a high-potency brightening emulsion engineered to disrupt the melanin signalling pathway at the source. By combining clinical brighteners with a lipid-recovery base, it interrupts pigment production before it forms while simultaneously restoring barrier integrity:
Tranexamic Acid (4.0%) + Lactic Acid (0.8%) work in synergy to block the plasminogen-plasmin interaction between keratinocytes and melanocytes, stopping pigment signalling before melanin is produced and correcting what is already present.
Panthenol (2%) and Allantoin (0.2%) reduce sub-clinical inflammation, which is the primary biological trigger for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in South Asian skin types.
Betaine (2%) and Sodium PCA (0.5%) function as osmoprotectants, drawing moisture into the deeper epidermal layers and maintaining barrier hydration throughout active pigment correction.
Layering Guide
TraneXaMilk is your first active step, applied immediately after cleansing before any serum or emulsion. Its water-based base means it always goes on first.
Used once a week as your first step on that day only. Apply to dry skin, massage to exfoliate, then rinse before moving to the BHA Gel Cleanser.
Daily first cleanse. Dissolves SPF, makeup, and environmental pollutants without stripping the acid mantle.
Daily second cleanse. Salicylic Acid decongests the pore lining while Panthenol maintains barrier integrity throughout.
Apply 4-5 drops to cleansed skin and press gently until fully absorbed. Allow 60 seconds before the next step. For PM use only.
Applied after TraneXaMilk. Adds triple-pathway brightening via Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide, and stabilised Ascorbyl Glucoside to reinforce the signalling blockade.
Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid and Matrixyl 3000 plump the barrier and lock actives in place before the emulsion layer is applied.
Applied after serums as an emulsion. Micronized Azelaic Acid penetrates the follicular lining to correct PIH and PIE while its lipid base seals the serums underneath.
Final step. Ceramide NP and Squalane create an occlusive seal that locks in all actives and prevents transepidermal water loss overnight.
Always apply SPF the following morning when treating any form of hyperpigmentation.
Key Ingredients
Blocks the melanin signalling pathway at the source, preventing pigment formation before it begins.
A naturally occurring osmoprotectant that draws moisture into the deeper epidermal layers without irritation.
A gentle AHA that refines surface texture and reinforces the skin barrier while supporting active pigment correction.
Reduces sub-clinical inflammation that triggers post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin.

How to Use
- Apply 2 to 3 pumps to cleansed, slightly damp skin.
- Press gently into the skin using upward motions until the milky texture fully absorbs.
- Focus application on areas with visible hyperpigmentation, melasma, or post-acne redness.
- Allow 60 seconds before layering the next product. For PM use only.
- Always apply SPF the following morning when treating any form of hyperpigmentation.

ULTIMATE BRIGHTENING DUO:
TRANEXAMILK + NIABUTIN-C
TraneXaMilk is engineered to be used specifically in sequence with Niabutin-C to calm inflammatory redness and interrupt the pigment-making process for maximum clarity.
Inflammatory signal suppression (TraneXaMilk) followed by multi-pathway pigment inhibition (Niabutin-C) disrupts the cycle of discolouration to effectively fade dark spots and restore a uniform skin tone.
