Tranexamic Acid: The Ingredient Dermatologists (and TikTok) Can’t Stop Talking About

In this episode of Love, Saranghae, Peter and Andrea pull back the curtain on tranexamic acid, a powerful, science-backed skincare ingredient that’s gone from clinical prescription to social media sensation. But does it live up to the hype?

From its origins as a treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding to its current role in fighting hyperpigmentation and melasma, tranexamic acid is shaking up the skincare world. Peter and Andrea explain exactly how it works, why it's effective, and whether you should be applying it topically or taking it orally.

They also dive into the science behind ingredient combinations, discuss who should avoid oral supplements, and offer a step-by-step routine to incorporate this ingredient safely into your skincare regimen.

Whether you’re struggling with dark spots, considering a prescription, or just trying to make sense of all the skincare noise online, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

• What tranexamic acid is and how it works on your skin
