Tranexamic acid was developed to treat excessive bleeding, but has since become a favorite for dermatologists. It fades dark spots and melasma while decreasing inflammation in the skin. Here, you can learn more about and shop for tranexamic acid skin care. You know the ingredients that get all the attention—your retinols, your vitamin C serums, your exfoliating acids.

When I was first assigned a story on the best juicers, I groaned. Until recently, my only experience with a juicer had been with a college friend’s years ago which 1) required a ton of work just to prep the fruit and 2) required a ton more work to clean the damn thing.
