Let’s talk about glow. Not the “I stayed up too late and now my skin has decided it wants to resemble a dry desert” kind of glow. I mean radiant, smooth, even-toned, wake-up-and-smile-at-your-reflection glow. You know, the kind of skin that makes people wonder if you’ve secretly discovered the fountain of youth and are not sharing.

Well, it turns out that fountain might just be hiding in a little bottle called NextLeap Glow Serum, powered by something called Tranexamic Acid. And yes, it’s as impressive as it sounds.

But first, let’s rewind a bit. What is TXA? If you’re imagining some complicated chemical only a chemist can pronounce, relax. Tranexamic Acid is basically a super-smart amino acid, a close cousin of lysine—the building block of proteins. But in this case, it’s enhanced, turbocharged, and ready to do everything from calming redness, brightening dark spots, smoothing fine lines, and even helping your skin defend against UV damage. Think of it as a tiny superhero in a bottle.

The Brains Behind the Bottle

NextLeap isn’t just another skincare brand hopping onto the “miracle ingredient” bandwagon. The founders, Frank Murdock and Paul Stewart, have spent nearly two decades developing TXA not only for skin but for serious medical applications, including antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammation, and even anti-bruising programs. Basically, they are the OGs of TXA.

They even patented the use of TXA for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. That means when you’re rubbing the Glow Serum onto your skin, you’re getting a formula that isn’t just made for cosmetic use—it’s backed by serious science, patent rights, and decades of research with leading universities and labs. They even discovered that using an ultra-pure grade of TXAmakes a huge difference. And that’s the exact kind of TXA found in every NextLeap product.

Meet Your Skin’s New BFF: Glow Serum

Now, let’s talk about what makes this serum so…well, glowing.

The NextLeap Glow Serum combines three powerhouse ingredients:

1. 10% Tranexamic Acid (TXA) – The star player, reducing discoloration and protecting against sun damage.
2. Niacinamide – Also known as Vitamin B3, it helps calm redness, strengthen your skin barrier, and keep things smooth.
3. Copper Tripeptide – A fancy way of saying your skin gets a little boost in elasticity, firmness, and overall youthful bounce.

Put them together, and you’ve got a cocktail that:

• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
• Maintains collagen and elastin (without breaking down what you already have, unlike retinoids)
• Evens out skin tone and melasma
• Calms redness
• Protects against sun damage

And the best part? Unlike some anti-aging products that make your skin feel like it’s on fire if you step outside, Glow Serum doesn’t increase sun sensitivity. In fact, TXA actually helps protect against UV damage. So yes, your morning coffee and skincare routine can coexist with a sunny stroll without worry.

Daily Ritual, Maximum Impact

The serum absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue, so it’s perfect for layering under your other products. In fact, it’s recommended to apply it first because it absorbs so well—it’s basically like letting your skin drink a tall glass of water before any other treatments join the party.

And it works for all skin types, including sensitive skin. So whether you’ve got dry patches, a little rosacea, or just a skin tone that won’t sit still, Glow Serum is ready to play nice.

Cold Sore Care? Yes, Please

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Wait…TXA can also help with cold sores?” Yep. Here’s the thing: the founders noticed that the leading cold sore treatments, prescription or over-the-counter, often reduce outbreaks by just a day or two. Not exactly life-changing. But with TXA, NextLeap found a way to accelerate healing and reduce the visible appearance of cold sores—especially if you start treatment early, right at the first tingle.

Meet NextLeap Cold Sore Care. This little miracle is designed to calm and repair quickly, giving you fast relief and helping your skin bounce back without lingering redness or discoloration.

Pro tip: because Glow Serum is a daily-use product, you might already have it on hand when a cold sore shows up. It’s fully effective in this scenario, making it your first-line hero.

Why TXA is the Ultimate Multi-Tasker

You might wonder, “How can one ingredient do all this?” The short answer: it’s science, and a lot of it. TXA is essentially an enhanced form of lysine, which is one of the building blocks of proteins that make up your skin, hair, and nails. These proteins are involved in countless cellular processes, many of which affect how we look cosmetically.

The founders’ experience is another huge part of the magic. Frank and Paul don’t just know skincare, they’ve led companies through global pharmaceutical research, venture capital in healthcare tech, and even helped develop the first healthy energy shots. They know how to combine science, innovation, and real-life application in ways most skincare brands can only dream of.

Glow Serum in Action: What to Expect

Imagine this: you wake up in the morning, apply your Glow Serum, and over time notice:

• Dark spots are fading
• Redness is calming
• Fine lines are softening
• Your skin feels plump, firm, and bouncy
• And that “I look alive” glow is finally there

And it’s not just for special occasions. Glow Serum is designed to be your everyday ritual, like brushing your teeth or enjoying a coffee. Except instead of just feeling clean or caffeinated, your skin is literally benefiting from decades of research with each application.

Cold Sore Care in Action: Quick Relief

Let’s say the dreaded tingle appears, a cold sore is trying to make an uninvited appearance. Instead of panic, you grab your Cold Sore Care (or your Glow Serum if you’re already using it daily), apply it immediately, and notice the outbreak resolves faster, with less visible redness or discomfort. It’s literally like having a tiny, personal dermatologist in a bottle.

A Formula That Plays Well with Others

One thing skincare lovers often worry about is “Will it clash with my other products?” NextLeap took this seriously. Glow Serum is compatible with virtually every other skincare product without any special timing required. That means your favorite moisturizer, SPF, or even your occasional retinol can coexist happily with your TXA magic.

Not Just About Looks

What’s incredible about NextLeap products is that they’re not just focused on aesthetics, they’re about healthy skin. By protecting collagen, maintaining elasticity, reducing inflammation, and calming discoloration, these products actually support skin function as well as appearance. That’s the kind of multitasking you rarely see outside of a full-time superhero.

Real Results, Real Science

The science behind these products is solid. We’re not talking trendy marketing fluff here. The patented TXA formula has been tested in multiple studies and refined over decades. And unlike some cosmetic ingredients that simply mask problems, TXA works with your skin’s natural biology to deliver lasting, visible improvements.

Why You’ll Want to Keep This in Your Routine

If you’re thinking, “Do I really need another serum?” here’s the deal:

• Glow Serum is your morning and evening companion for maintaining radiant, even-toned skin
• Cold Sore Care is your emergency kit for unexpected outbreaks
• Both products are rooted in decades of research and clinical expertise
• They’re suitable for all skin types and integrate seamlessly with other skincare products

In short: they’re smart, reliable, and effective. And isn’t that exactly what you want in skincare?

How to Maximize Your Results

• Consistency is key. Glow Serum works best when applied daily. Think of it like a workout for your skin—results build over time.
• Early intervention wins. For cold sores, apply Cold Sore Care (or your Glow Serum) at the first tingle for the fastest results.
• Pair smartly. While Glow Serum plays nicely with everything, pairing it with a good moisturizer and sunscreen will maximize protection and benefits.
• Patience pays off. Some results, like fading dark spots or fine lines, are gradual. Give your skin time to adapt and heal.

The Bottom Line

NextLeap’s Glow Serum and Cold Sore Care aren’t just products—they’re solutions rooted in science, decades of experience, and a deep understanding of skin biology. They’re playful, effective, and serious about results.

Whether you’re looking to banish fine lines, even out your skin tone, calm redness, protect against the sun, or have a reliable cold sore solution on hand, these products are designed to fit into your life seamlessly, without stress or fuss.

And the best part? The founders, Frank and Paul, have poured their heart, brainpower, and experience into ensuring that TXA works at its absolute best, so your skin can finally look and feel like the superstar it’s meant to be.
