Dark spot ingredient poll: vitamin C, niacinamide, tranexamic acid… what's your pick?
Trends in brightening ingredients move fast. First it was vitamin C, then niacinamide, and lately tranexamic acid gets a lot of airtime.
What communities often compare
- Vitamin C: well studied, but people talk a lot about oxidation and irritation depending on the formula
- Niacinamide: often called easygoing and simple to layer with other products
- Tranexamic acid: tends to be gentle, so sensitive-skin folks are curious
- Azelaic acid: many reach for it because it also targets post-acne marks and redness
Almost everyone agrees that sunscreen comes first, whatever you pick. For pigmentation that needs a diagnosis, like melasma, seeing a dermatologist is recommended too.
