Benefits of Proanthocyanidin + Tranexamic Acid
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation means abnormal darkening of skin, usually in patches. It
occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin
color, forms deposits in the skin. Proanthocyanidin + Tranexamic Acid reduces these melanin deposits,
lightens skin tone and helps restore normal color of the skin. It also helps
to protect the skin from damage by ultraviolet rays of the sun and prevents
sunburns. It also removes blemishes and moisturises your skin.
This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You
should always take it as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been
told to. Keep taking it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full
benefits.
