Why Tranexamic Acid Is One of the Best Ingredients for Dark Spots
5% Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic Acid has become one of the most talked-about ingredients for treating melasma, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation—and for good reason. It helps reduce excess melanin production while minimizing the appearance of existing discoloration and helping prevent new pigmentation from forming. With consistent use, skin looks brighter, clearer, and more even.
3% Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide is a multitasking ingredient that helps brighten skin, reduce the appearance of redness, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve uneven skin tone. It also helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores while supporting healthier-looking skin overall.

Why I Chose It for Heaven on Earth
There are a lot of brightening serums available, but I appreciate that this formula focuses on ingredients backed by solid research. Tranexamic Acid has become one of my favorite ingredients for improving discoloration, especially when paired with Niacinamide to support a healthier, more even-looking complexion.
If dark spots or melasma are among your biggest skincare concerns, this is one of the products I recommend most often. Pair it with a daily sunscreen, and you'll give your skin the best opportunity to maintain the results you're working toward.
How to Use
After cleansing and toning, apply 1–2 pumps to the face and neck, concentrating on areas of discoloration or uneven pigmentation. Follow with your moisturizer and always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day. Consistent daily use will deliver the best results.
