HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRANEXAMIC ACID

Tranexamic Acid is an ingredient name you may see in skincare marketed for uneven-looking tone. When shopping, start with the exact product and the area it is designed for. An eye cream and a full-face serum are different products, even when an ingredient name overlaps.

Which product at Yugen Beauty contains tranexamic acid?

Mary&May Tranexamic Acid + Glutathione Eye Cream is the eye-area product in our catalogue that lists this ingredient. Its ingredient list includes Tranexamic Acid (1,000 ppm) and Glutathione (1,000 ppm), along with niacinamide, glycerin, panthenol and fragrance.

What does 1,000 ppm mean?

One thousand parts per million equals 0.1%. This concentration is stated for each of those two ingredients, not for the whole formula. It should not be confused with a study of a different concentration, formulation or application area.

What does the manufacturer say?

Mary&May presents this product for dark-circle care around the eye contour. That is the manufacturer’s product positioning, not a guarantee that it will remove dark circles for every shopper. See the official Mary&May product information for its concentration and eye-area positioning.

How do I use this eye cream?

Our product listing directs you to apply an appropriate amount around the eyes and gently pat it in. Follow the packaging instructions. Do not transfer a generic full-face application schedule to an eye product, and avoid direct contact with the eyes.

Is an eye cream a facial dark-spot treatment?

Not automatically. This listing does not establish it as a full-face treatment for melasma, acne scars or freckles. If your main concern is a persistent pigment change or a skin condition, ask a dermatologist for advice rather than choosing by one ingredient alone.

How can I compare other eye-area products?

Compare this formula with Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum with ginseng and retinal or Haruharu wonder Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream. These have different featured ingredients; they are not interchangeable formulas. Start with the intended area of use, then compare the full ingredient lists.

Do I need an eye cream to start a Korean routine?

No. It is an optional step. Visit the eye cream collection if you want to compare it, or use the beginner routine guide to start with fewer products. If you wanted a facial serum or cream instead, see our vitamin C product comparison.
