AXIS-Y - TXA 2.5% Intensive Brightening Cream [50ml]

Key Ingredients

• 2.5% Tranexamic Acid (TXA): Blocks the path of pigment-producing pathways to diminish stubborn, deep-seated dark spots and melasma.
• 2.5% Niacinamide: Works alongside TXA to block melanin from surfacing while reinforcing the outer moisture barrier and refining pores.
• Glutathione: A powerhouse antioxidant that intercepts free radicals to boost skin vibrancy and prevent premature age spots.
• Ceramide NP & Panthenol: Locks in moisture and repairs structural damage in the skin barrier to stop flaking and dryness.
• Centella Asiatica & Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) Extracts: Synergistic botanicals that intensely calm redness, irritation, and inflammation.

Because this is a moisturizer rather than a concentrated active serum, it should be applied as the final step of your skincare sequence.

AM Routine

1. Prepare: Cleanse your skin and apply your favorite toner, essence, or serum.
2. Apply: Scoop a moderate amount of the cream, smoothing it evenly across your face and neck. Pat gently until fully absorbed.
3. Protect: Always complete your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to prevent UV rays from reversing your brightening progress.

PM Routine

1. Prepare: Double cleanse to remove impurities, then apply your evening treatments.
2. Apply: Massage a slightly more generous layer of the cream into the skin. Its rich combination of ceramides, shea butter, and panthenol works overnight to repair skin barrier health.

Layering Tips

• Perfect Pairings: This cream layers seamlessly with Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, or Centella Asiatica serums to supercharge hydration. It also pairs brilliantly with an isolated Vitamin C serum in the morning to enhance the antioxidant effects of Glutathione.
• Using with Retinol / AHAs: Because the brightening agents (TXA and Niacinamide) are formulated at a gentle, non-stripping 2.5% concentration, you can safely layer this cream over your nighttime Retinol, Glycolic Acid, or Salicylic Acid treatments. It behaves as a soothing buffer to reduce the potential dryness associated with chemical exfoliants. Be cautious while layering if you have sensitive skin.
