If you’re like me, always on the lookout for a brightening serum that works without irritating your skin, you’ve probably come across Anua’s Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum. I’ve tested it for a full month, and here’s my honest, no-filter review.
Why I Chose It
- 10% Niacinamide – a powerful ingredient to control oil and brighten skin tone
- 4% Tranexamic Acid (TXA) – helps fade dark spots and post-acne marks
The formula looked promising, especially since I have sensitive, combination skin and was looking for something gentle yet effective.
First Impressions
- Texture: Lightweight and fast-absorbing
- Scent: Barely noticeable (a plus!)
- Application: No stickiness or irritation
My Results After 4 Weeks
Used every morning before moisturizer and sunscreen.
- Skin looked brighter and healthier
- Dark spots and old acne marks lightened slightly
- No breakouts or purging – which was a huge win for me
Pro Tips
- Works great for oily to combination skin types
- Don’t mix with Vitamin C in the same routine – it may cause irritation
- Be patient – results build over time
Would I Repurchase?
Absolutely. It’s a rare combo of effective yet gentle ingredients – and it delivers on its promises without drama.
