Paula's Choice Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum – Tranexamic Acid, Fragrance-Free

Target stubborn discoloration with a clinical-grade serum

Paula's Choice Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum brings together a tranexamic acid complex with complementary brighteners to address brown and gray patches, post-acne marks, and diffuse sun-related discoloration. The result is a more even complexion and a subtle, healthy-looking glow that can be part of a thoughtful skincare routine.

What makes this serum different

This formula blends three key actives with supporting antioxidants to address discoloration through different skin pathways, aiming to improve tone over time without harsh irritants.

• 3% tranexamic acid targets pigment-related changes that contribute brown and gray patches.
• 5% niacinamide supports even tone and contributes to barrier-friendly skin care.
• 0.5% bakuchiol provides a gentle, plant-based approach alongside vitamin E and milk thistle.
• Pure tocopherol (vitamin E) offers antioxidant protection while the formula works on discoloration.
• Milk thistle adds extra skin-supporting properties to the mix.

Who can use it

Suitable for all skin types and tones, including those prone to melasma or diffuse hyperpigmentation. The fragrance-free formula minimizes potential irritants, making it a friendly option for sensitive skin.

Key benefits and how it fits into your routine

• Potentially reduces the appearance of stubborn patches around cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.

How to use

Apply a small amount after cleansing and toning. Use morning and/or evening, then follow with moisturizer and sunscreen during the day. Patch testing is advised, and avoid combining with overly harsh exfoliants at the same time.

Packaging and sustainability

In keeping with Paula's Choice pledge to reduce plastic, the packaging minimizes extra plastic and shrink wrap, aligning with eco-friendly practices while delivering an effective formula.

What you might notice

With consistent use, you may see a more even appearance and a brightness in areas where discoloration has been persistent. Results vary by individual, and this serum is designed to be part of a broader, sun-safe skincare approach.
