The Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Serum fades post-acne marks using two clinically studied brightening actives. It also slows down new dark spot formation caused by UV and inflammation. Skin looks visibly brighter within 3-4 weeks. This lightweight serum is suitable for all skin types and can be easily incorporated into any skincare routine.

Key Ingredients

• Niacinamide (10%): Inhibits melanin transfer to reduce dark spots and regulate sebum production. You will notice visibly smaller pores and a more even skin tone within 3-4 weeks of daily use.
• Tranexamic Acid (TXA) (4%): Slows down new dark spot formation caused by UV and inflammation. With consistent use, skin tone appears more even and radiant.

Skin Concerns Addressed

• Primary: Post-acne marks, dark spots, uneven skin tone
• Secondary: Enlarged pores, excess oil production, dullness
• Supporting: Redness, skin texture, barrier strengthening

This serum is formulated specifically to target hyperpigmentation and discoloration. If your main concern is acne scars or sun damage, this addresses it directly. For textural issues or deep wrinkles, pair with a retinol or AHA product.

Why This Serum Works

This serum combines 10% niacinamide with 4% tranexamic acid, two clinically studied actives that work synergistically to fade existing dark spots and prevent new ones from forming.

Niacinamide helps to regulate sebum production, which can minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and improve overall skin texture.

Together, these ingredients create a multi-action formula that fades, prevents, and protects in one serum step.

Texture & Absorption

This serum has a lightweight, milky texture that spreads easily without feeling heavy or sticky. It absorbs within 30-45 seconds, leaving a smooth, slightly dewy finish that layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen. The formula doesn't pill when buffered with other products, making it ideal for morning routines where you need multiple layers to sit cleanly.

What to Expect

After first use: Skin feels immediately more hydrated and plumped. The texture absorbs quickly without any stickiness or residue.

Week 1–2: Skin tone starts to look more even. Redness appears visibly reduced.

Week 3–4: Noticeable improvement in skin brightness and clarity. Dark spots begin to fade.

After 6 weeks: Consistent reduction in the appearance of dark spots, with a more radiant and even complexion overall.
