Farmacy Brightening Toner 3% TXA Tranexamic Acid, 5% PHA - 120ml | Evens Tone & Gently Exfoliates

Farmacy 3% TXA Brightening Toner is a lightweight facial toner formulated with tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, and 5% PHA to help reduce the appearance of dark spots, refine texture, and hydrate the skin.

This toner combines targeted brightening actives with gentle exfoliation to even skin tone and support a clearer, more radiant complexion. The alcohol-free formula includes 3% TXA (tranexamic acid) to address discoloration, azelaic acid to smooth texture, and 5% PHA for mild surface exfoliation and hydration. Packaged with sustainability in mind, the bottle and carton are recyclable and the formula uses upcycled tangerine peel for antioxidant support.

How quickly can I expect to see improvement in dark spots?

Results vary by skin and spot severity, but the blend of tranexamic acid and azelaic acid is designed to target discoloration efficiently. Some users notice visible changes within about a week, while deeper pigmentation may take longer with consistent use.

• Key actives: 3% TXA for spot targeting and azelaic acid for texture support.
• Gentle exfoliation from 5% PHA to reveal fresher skin layers.
• Daily use improves product delivery and visible clarity over time.

Can I use this toner with other actives like vitamin C or retinol?

The formula is designed to layer well with serums and moisturizers both morning and night. To minimize irritation, introduce combinations gradually and monitor how your skin responds, especially when pairing strong actives like retinol or concentrated vitamin C.

• AM: pair with antioxidant serums and SPF for daytime protection.
• PM: you can use it before retinol, but start slowly to assess tolerance.
• Patch test when combining multiple actives to reduce sensitivity risk.

Is this toner suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

The alcohol-free formula and PHA exfoliant make it a gentle option for many sensitive and dry skin types. PHA provides mild exfoliation while helping retain moisture, and the overall blend aims to avoid harsh stripping.

• Alcohol-free to reduce drying effects.
• 5% PHA hydrates while exfoliating surface cells.
• Start with every-other-day application if you have reactive skin.

What are the practical benefits and ingredients I should know about?
