Anua Niacinamide 10%+TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum

Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum

A lightweight, fast-absorbing watery serum formulated to target hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone using a high-strength combo of 10% niacinamide and 4% tranexamic acid (TXA). Enriched with 2% alpha‑arbutin, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides, it deeply hydrates, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces shine, minimizes pores, and helps reveal a smooth, radiant “glass skin” finish

🌟 At a Glance

• 10% Niacinamide: balances tone, reduces pore size, soothes redness, and improves skin texture

• 4% Tranexamic Acid (TXA): fades existing dark spots and prevents new pigmentation by inhibiting melanin production

• Alpha‑Arbutin (≈2%): complements brightening by limiting melanin synthesis

• Hyaluronic Acid & Ceramides: deliver hydration, lock in moisture, and reinforce the skin barrier

✅ Texture & Application

• Feels lightweight and non-greasy, with a watery, fast‑absorbing texture suited for layering under moisturizers or sunscreen

• Many users describe it as quickly sinking in and leaving a refreshing finish, ideal for daily use morning and night

⚠️ Pros & Cons (Based on User Feedback)

Pros:

• Brightens and fades pigmentation consistently over 4–8 weeks with regular use

• Controls oil and refines texture, helping achieve a “glass-skin” clarity

• Hydrating and soothing thanks to barrier-repair ingredients and fragrance-free formulation

Cons:

• Some users with sensitive or acne-prone skin reported irritation or breakouts—including cystic acne—potentially due to the high concentration of actives or other ingredients like corallina officinalis extract

• A few users noted a sticky or tacky texture, especially before layering other skincare products → blending with moisturizer or mixing with another serum can help reduce stickiness

🧴 How to Use It

1. Start with a patch test and begin using every other day, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated.

2. Apply 2–3 drops to clean, toned skin, gently patting it in until fully absorbed.

3. Follow with moisturizer, and if using in the morning, always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect from sun sensitivity during TXA use.

4. Visible results typically emerge with consistent use over 4–8 weeks
