The Inkey List Tranexamic Acid Night Treatment...alternative to the Good Molecules Discolouration Correcting Serum?
This is theinkeylists answer to hyperpigmentation, brighter skin and fading of dark spots.
High level thoughts:
⭐️Lightweight, gel like texture
⭐️Skins into the skin well
⭐️Pairs with other products without pilling
⭐️Can be a little tacky after application
⭐️Has reduced dark spots and old scarring
⭐️A little goes a long way!
This is very similar to the Good Molecules (GM) Discolouration Correcting Serum, in the way that is uses Tranexamic acid as the main active to help with hyperpigmentation and dark spots. It also contains 2% vitamin C and 2% açai berry, which is antioxidant rich.
The main difference however, and why I wanted to share this, is because unlike the GM serum, it does not contain Niacinamide. Whilst Niacinamide is highly regarded as a holy grail active in the community, not everyone’s skin likes it and as a result can rule out certain products for many individuals.
Both The Inkey List (TIL) and GM serums have helped me with the fading of dark spots (in some cases, completely removing them!), and I personally feel both of the products perform the same.
The main reason I wanted to share this product from TIL is not only for the different formulations, but also accessibility. Whilst GM does ship to the UK, I have always been subject to UK import duties / taxes (no fault of GM I must add!) which is a pain! But this product from TIL can be easily picked up at a local boots store for those in the UK and online retailers.
In conclusion, I think this is a great alternative to the GM serum if you cannot access it, or have found that the product wasn’t suited to your skin. I also feel the price point (£14.99) is very reasonable too!
Repurchase: Already have, twice!
