Brighten Up 3% TXA Dark Spot Toner with Azelaic Acid

Dark spots are stubborn, so Farmacy Brighten Up comes at them from three directions: tranexamic acid to fade, azelaic acid to even, and PHA to gently resurface. It's a swipe-on, no-rinse toner made for post-acne marks, sun damage and uneven tone — on every skin type and tone.

What it actually does

• Fades dark spots with 3% TXA. Tranexamic acid is the headline ingredient; Farmacy says its clinical testing showed a visible reduction in dark spots within seven days, with results building over eight weeks.
• Evens and resurfaces gently. Azelaic acid plus 5% PHA (gluconolactone) exfoliate softly, smoothing texture and brightening without harshness.
• Hydrates while it works. Upcycled tangerine peel adds a nature-derived antioxidant with hydrating properties.
• Covers the hard cases. The brand positions it against hyperpigmentation in its tougher forms — marks left behind by breakouts, melasma and sunspots.
• Plays well with others. According to Farmacy it layers into an existing routine, including alongside other acids. Cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Sweep over a cleansed face, morning and/or night, steering clear of the eye area.
2. Don't rinse — leave it to absorb.
3. Layer your serum or moisturiser on top.
4. If you use it in the morning, sunscreen afterwards is a must.
