OPTODERM Tranex Active Micellar Cleanser

Features & Benefits

Tranex active Micellar has biomimetic moisturising factors, it contains a synergistic combination of pigmentation targeting and skin brightening actives.

As its name suggests, micellar cleansers contain “micelles”. These “micelles” are microscopic clusters of cleansing molecules, suspended in de-ionised water. They are hydrophobic and oil-loving, grabbing and absorbing dirt and makeup, without breaking or upsetting the skin’s natural lipid barrier the way a foaming or rinsing cleanser does. Our micellar cleansers are alcohol, soap, ethoxylate and paraben-free. They can be used as gentle makeup removers, or as a non-rinse cleanser for both sensitive and oily, acne-prone skins. And…because they are low pH, they don’t disrupt the skin’s acid mantle and pH balance either.

But most importantly, since they are no-rinse and ‘leave-on’, they function as more than just cleansers. They are active cleansers, meaning they not only cleanse but also become the first layer of your skin treatment. The active ingredients in the cleanser are not rinsed off, as they would be with a conventional foaming cleanser.

Key Ingredients:

Tranexamic acid works by inhibiting the production of melanin, by inhibiting tyrosinase activity and reducing the activity of melanocytes. It has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is ideal for use post-procedure and in treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Niacinamide is an effective skin brightening compound that works by inhibiting melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes.

Phytic Acid extracted from cereals, regulates pigmentary disorders such as hyperpigmentation, pigmentary rebounds or spots due to aging, by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme that is implicated in the production of melanin.
