Frequently asked questions
Can I use Hyaluronic Acid and Tranexamic Acid together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Hyaluronic Acid and Tranexamic Acid, and neither makes the other less effective.
Which goes first, Hyaluronic Acid or Tranexamic Acid?
Apply Hyaluronic Acid first, then Tranexamic Acid. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?
Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.
Should I use Tranexamic Acid in the morning or at night?
Tranexamic Acid: works morning or night. Use once or twice daily for at least 8–12 weeks. It works best alongside a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Is Hyaluronic Acid with Tranexamic Acid safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Tranexamic Acid. Check with your doctor.
