Frequently asked questions
Can I use Tranexamic Acid and Vitamin E together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Tranexamic Acid and Vitamin E, and neither makes the other less effective.
Which goes first, Tranexamic Acid or Vitamin E?
Apply Tranexamic Acid first, then Vitamin E. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
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.
Should I use Vitamin E in the morning or at night?
Vitamin E: works morning or night. Look for it combined with vitamin C and ferulic acid. Very oily or acne-prone skin should avoid pure vitamin E oil.
