Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of Vegan DDS Tranexamic from INdermal.
Tranexamic Acid is a widely known molecule in medicine which is normally used as an antifibrinolytic owing to its ability to inhibit plasmin. This same property is used in cosmetics to reduce pigmentations since plasmin is involved with melanogenesis. Furthermore, Tranexamic Acid acts on keratinocytes which contain melanin, interrupting the inflammatory process that produces blemishing following external aggressions or injuries such as acne.
Finally, it also reduces increased vascularisation which always accompanies a recurrent hyperpigmentation such as melasma. These three modes of action of Tranexamic Acid, together with the ability of Niacinamide (Vit.B3) to inhibit the transfer of melanosomes and protect the DNA from UV damage, provide a potent treatment for all types of blemishes. It is particularly effective in the treatment of photo induced pigmentations such as, Melasma and Liver spots.
Encapsulated within INdermal's Deep Delivery System (DDS) it enables the Tranexamic Acid to be delivered to the deepest strata of the epidermis for a more intense and precise effect on the structures and cells located there. The use of DDS enables up to twelve times the amount of active ingredient to reach the interior of the skin compared to when applied freely
