Brilliance

Azelaic Acid / Tranexamic Acid / Niacinamide

Price range: $65.00 through $150.00

Brilliance is a gentle yet effective brightening formula for sensitive skin, designed to reduce dark spots and promote an even complexion without the use of hydroquinone.

  • Azelaic Acid: A naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid (found in grains like barley) that inhibits tyrosinase—an enzyme critical for melanin production—helping lighten hyperpigmentation. It also combats acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps unclog pores, making it effective for acne, rosacea, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Tranexamic Acid: Originally an antifibrinolytic drug, when applied topically in skincare, it acts by inhibiting inflammation-related melanin pathways and plasmin activity to reduce hyperpigmentation and melasma. It is well tolerated and doesn’t cause photosensitivity like exfoliating acids
  • Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3 that improves skin tone and texture, reduces dark spots, brightens dull skin, decreases the appearance of pores, and enhances the skin barrier’s resilience
  • Generally, apply 2× daily—morning and evening—after cleansing and toning, before moisturizer. Start once daily if you have sensitive skin.
  • Morning Routine: Cleanse → apply Brilliance → follow with moisturizer → SPF (essential due to pigmentation-targeting actives).
  • Evening Routine: Cleanse → apply Brilliance → moisturizer.
  • Conduct a patch test before full application to check for sensitivity.
  1. Brightens & Evens Skin Tone
    • Azelaic Acid: Lightens dark spots and PIH by inhibiting melanin-producing enzymes.
    • Tranexamic Acid: Targets stubborn hyperpigmentation and melasma by blocking pigment-signaling pathways.
    • Combined Studies: A peeling treatment containing both AZA + TXA significantly reduced hyperpigmentation in just 6 weeks.
  2. Anti‑Inflammatory & Calms Redness
    • Azelaic acid soothes redness (beneficial for rosacea and post-acne inflammation).
    • Tranexamic acid offers mild anti-inflammatory effects and helps restore the skin barrier even after environmental stress.
  3. Acne and Texture Improvement
    • Azelaic acid kills acne-causing bacteria and helps clear pores.
    • Niacinamide supports barrier repair, controls oil production, and reduces pore appearance.
  4. Barrier Support & Hydration
    • Niacinamide enhances skin barrier strength and improves hydration and texture.

Q: Is Brilliance suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. Both azelaic and tranexamic acids are generally well tolerated, and niacinamide further supports barrier health.

Q: Can Brilliance be used daily?
A: Yes—start with once daily, then increase to morning and evening as tolerated.

Q: Do I need to wear SPF when using Brilliance?
A: Definitely. Even non-exfoliating acids like azelaic and tranexamic can benefit from sun protection to prevent further pigmentation.

Q: Can Brilliance be layered with Vitamin C, retinoids, or AHAs?
A: Use with caution. Though tranexamic acid pairs well with Vitamin C or retinoids, strong exfoliants may irritate. Patch test first.

Q: How soon will I see results with Brilliance?
A: Pigment reduction typically appears over several weeks. One study noted significant improvement at 6 weeks with azelaic + tranexamic acid.

Q: Are there side effects from using Brilliance?
A: Rare—possible mild dryness or tingling, especially with azelaic acid. Patch testing is recommended.
