Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum (30ml)
Five brightening actives. One serum. Visibly more even skin.
This is what a serious dark spot serum looks like. Most lean on a single ingredient. This one layers five — each working on a different stage of how skin makes pigment — so uneven tone, post-acne marks and sun spots get addressed from several angles at once.
10% Niacinamide and 4% Tranexamic Acid lead the formula, sitting third and fourth in the ingredient list. Tranexamic acid is the most talked-about ingredient in skincare for stubborn discolouration, and at 4% this is a serious dose. Arbutin, alpha-arbutin and stable vitamin C round it out.
It feels like a hydrating serum, not a treatment. Nine forms of hyaluronic acid, ceramide NP, panthenol and centella keep it comfortable, and a light blend of jojoba, macadamia and grapeseed oils gives it a soft finish that layers cleanly under makeup.
Fragrance-free and essential-oil-free.
Key ingredients
- Niacinamide 10% — evens tone, refines texture, supports the barrier
- Tranexamic Acid 4% — the standout active for persistent discolouration
- Arbutin + Alpha-Arbutin — brightening botanicals
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — stable vitamin C, antioxidant support
- 9 forms of Hyaluronic Acid + Ceramide NP — hydration and barrier comfort
How to use
Morning and night, after toner. Apply 2–3 drops and press into skin, then follow with moisturizer.
Always finish your morning routine with sunscreen. Sun exposure is what creates dark spots in the first place — SPF is what lets a brightening serum actually show results.
Best for
Post-acne marks, sun spots, uneven tone and dullness. Suits all skin types. Give it 8–12 weeks of consistent use — pigmentation fades gradually, and this is a product you judge by the season, not the week.
Good to know
- Patch test before first use.
- Contains a mild BHA. If you use exfoliating acids or a retinoid, alternate nights rather than layering.
- Avoid the immediate eye area. External use only.
