Deany answers

Tranexamic acid blocks the signal that triggers pigment production, while niacinamide stops already-made pigment from reaching the surface - which is why this tonic pairs both for a two-pronged approach.

  • Tranexamic acid works upstream, calming the inflammatory signal that tells your skin to overproduce pigment in the first place.
  • Niacinamide works downstream, blocking pigment transfer so less of it actually reaches the surface where you see it.
  • My Skin Functional Uneven Skin Tone Treatment Tonic combines both actives in one leave-on formula - no separate serums needed.
  • It's fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, so it suits reactive or breakout-prone skin too.
  • Give it 6-8+ weeks of consistent use before judging results - pigment fades gradually, not overnight.

Cleanse first, then saturate a cotton pad and sweep it across face, neck and décolletage, and let it dry on the skin - no rinsing, use up to twice a day.

  • Cleanse first - this tonic works best on a clean, product-free face.
  • Saturate a cotton pad and sweep across face, neck and décolletage - don't forget the neck, it shows uneven tone too.
  • Let it air dry before layering anything else on top.
  • It's a leave-on treatment, not an exfoliating toner, so there's no rinsing step and no risk of over-exfoliating.
  • Safe to use both morning and night, which makes consistency easy.
