Overview
Azelaic Acid + Tranexamic Acid + Niacinamide
Brilliance offers a non-hydroquinone approach to hyperpigmentation, suitable for sensitive skin, melasma maintenance, and patients seeking alternatives to traditional depigmentation agents. Tranexamic acid and azelaic acid target melanogenesis through distinct pathways, while niacinamide interrupts melanin transfer and supports the epidermal barrier.
Mechanism of Action
Tranexamic acid blocks the plasminogen-to-plasmin conversion that stimulates keratinocyte-melanocyte signaling, reducing UV- and hormone-driven melanin production. Azelaic acid inhibits tyrosinase and normalizes aberrant melanocyte proliferation. Niacinamide inhibits melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes and supports ceramide production to strengthen the epidermal barrier.
Topical Application
Applied to affected areas as directed.

Benefits
Brightening
Tranexamic acid and azelaic acid address hyperpigmentation through complementary mechanisms without the sensitization risk of hydroquinone.
Melanin Transfer
Niacinamide blocks melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes, reducing pigment distribution across the epidermis.
Barrier Support
Niacinamide supports ceramide synthesis and epidermal barrier integrity, reducing the transepidermal water loss that exacerbates pigmentation.
Sensitive Skin
Hydroquinone-free formulation is suitable for patients with reactive skin, rosacea, or those maintaining remission from prior aggressive brightening therapy.

Is Brilliance safe if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
