Advanced brightening serum with 3% tranexamic acid + 2% alpha arbutin to fade the look of dark spots without exfoliation
Allies of Skin Tranexamic & Arbutin Advanced Brightening Serum is a liquid-soft treatment serum designed to visibly brighten dull skin and fade the appearance of dark spots—without relying on exfoliating acids. Powered by clinically proven levels of 3% Tranexamic Acid and 2% Alpha Arbutin, it helps promote a more even-looking tone while supporting the skin barrier for a smoother, more luminous finish.
This formula is enhanced with the brand’s Red Algae & Pea Complex plus Diacetyl Boldine & Licorice Complex to help boost luminosity and target the look of stubborn discoloration. Designed for daily AM/PM use and suitable for all skin types (including sensitive), it absorbs quickly and layers easily under the rest of your routine.
