NaturiumMulti-Bright Tranexamic Acid Treatment 5%, Skin Care with Encapsulated Kojic Acid & Alpha Arbutin, 1 Fl Oz

This item is great! I use it for my melasma and I can definitely tell that it is helping lighten my spots. I use it on alternating days with my retinol. It has a not so great smell that goes away after a while. It also turned a different color after a while but I emailed the brand and they explained that “we would like to confirm that our Multi-Bright Tranexamic Acid Treatment 5% contains two forms of kojic acid. One version that is free flowing and known to shift in color due to oxidation, but also gives immediate benefits and remains active. One that is encapsulated so it retains even more benefits over time and slowly releases the ingredient. Your product will shift in color, but it will remain effective.” I’m already on my second bottle.

Came oxidized and leaves a tint on skin. Did not know it wasn't supposed to be a dark brown and actually caused a minor break out shortly after using, not knowing it wasn't supposed to look or smell as it did.

The product helps my face and elbow stay bright and clear.

Great ingredients list but it feels SO SO oily, like it sits on top of my skin and is never absorbed, will not be repurchasing this even though I have seen my dark sun spots fade a bit. I only use it at night because of the terrible texture.

Very moisturizing! I use this after my retinol serum as a moisturizer. It has a funky color but feels great putting on and my skin loves it. It’s been a few weeks and I wasn’t expecting any results for a while but I can already see some improvement. Will definitely repurchase.

I think this product does work, as I have noticed a difference in marks from prior breakouts. I also haven't experienced any irritation from using it. Unfortunately, it is a real pain to use because of its dark yellow-brown color (think deli mustard). It doesn't sink in and disappear into the skin; it sits on top of the skin and is very noticeable. I thought I was just being overly critical, but no: my mother told me that my "new makeup" is a poor match and encouraged me to blend better. Ouch. It also tends to pill when used in combination with other skincare, which is just as annoying as the color. Ideally, it should be used morning and night, but I can really only use it at night because of its unacceptable appearance.I emailed Naturium about the dark color, and they said that it was due to the kojic acid, which oxidizes and gets darker but remains effective (?). Not sure if I believe that oxidized kojic acid still works... I'm not impressed with the quality or customer service from Naturium: it's ridiculous that this product was already oxidized before it was even opened, and I think I should have been offered a refund. I won't be repurchasing because the color of the product bothers me too much. Wish I'd spent my money on something that's better formulated and easier to use.

Huge Naturium fan! Love their formulas and price point.This is a fabulous product! I have some hyperpigmentation I'm trying to fade a smidge and while I haven't seen any results yet there, I don't care because I love the way this feels on my skin. It gives it a lovely brightness!I had some issues with the pump, reached out to them directly and they offered to send a replacement my way. I didn't expect that but it sealed the deal for me being a lifetime customer!
