Benefits

• SMA’RT Luminous TXA is another powerful multi-functional active by SMA Collaboratives. A derivative of the amino acid lysine, SMA’RT Luminous TXA is recognized for its ability to brighten/lighten skin and improve overall evenness of skin tones as well as reduce the appearance of age spots/dark spots.
• It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and is considered to be an anti-irritate with reduced sensitivity to skin. SMA’RT Luminous TXA helps to repair damage due to sun and other environmental stressors. Works in collaboration with SMA’RT VC-OS, SMA’RT VCL or SMA’RT Ascorbyl Glucoside for enhanced efficacy.
• SMA’RT Luminous TXA exhibits improved stability over other known skin lighteners/brighteners at elevated temperatures, light exposure, pH ranges and oxidative stresses. It is suitable for all skin types.
• SMA'RT Luminous TXA is a synthetic derivative of lysine with a structure partially similar to that of tyrosine. Confirmed by clinical trials, it is suitable for all kinds of skin and can remove pigmentation, whitening, and lighten spots, such as, pigmentation after sun exposure, dark spots (chloasma, freckles, senile lentils, etc.), sensitive skin, acne and inflammation, post-operative care after laser, pulse light treatment, etc.
• Thus SMA'RT Luminous TXA can be recommended for cream, lotion, essence, facial mask and other products.
