Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4 Serum 30ml
Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum (30ml) is a high-potency brightening serum designed to target dark spots at their source. Combining 10% Niacinamide,4% Tranexamic Acid (TXA), and 2% Arbutin, it works on multiple levels of the melanin production process to even out skin tone and restore clarity. Its non-greasy, watery texture absorbs quickly, making it an effective solution for fading deep-seated discoloration while improving the overall texture and health of the skin barrier.
The "Triple-Threat" Brightening Complex
What sets this Anua serum apart is its aggressive yet balanced approach to pigmentation. Most serums use only one brightening active; Anua combines three:
- 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A high concentration that controls excess sebum, minimizes the appearance of pores, and prevents new dark spots from forming.
- 4% Tranexamic Acid (TXA): A superstar ingredient for fading melasma and redness, as it helps "calm" the skin’s pigment-producing cells.
- 2% Arbutin: A natural derivative that limits melanin production, ensuring a brighter and more uniform complexion.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Targeted Hyperpigmentation Care: Specifically effective for PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and sunspots that haven't responded to milder treatments.
- Ceramide Infusion: Contains a "Ceramide Complex" and Hyaluronic Acid to ensure that despite the high active concentration, the skin barrier remains hydrated and protected.
- Unique Pink Tint: The serum has a natural pink hue derived from Vitamin B12, which helps revitalize the appearance of dull, tired skin without synthetic dyes.
- Texture Refining: Smooths out rough patches and helps the skin look "plump" and healthy, providing a perfect canvas for makeup.
- Lightweight Finish: Sinks in without any stickiness, allowing it to layer perfectly with other products in your routine.

How to Use for Maximum Clarity:
- Prep: Cleanse your face with the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser and pat dry.
- Apply: Use the dropper to apply 2–3 drops directly to the face or to targeted dark spots.
- Massage: Gently pat the serum into the skin until fully absorbed.
- Layer: If your skin is dry, follow up with the iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream or the COSRX Snail 92 All In One Cream.
- Sun Protection: This is critical. Because this serum treats pigmentation, you must use a high SPF like the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum every morning to prevent new spots from forming.
⚠️ A Note on Potency: 10% Niacinamide is a high concentration. If you have very sensitive skin, start by using this serum once a day (PM is preferred) and gradually move to twice a day once your skin has adjusted.
Pro-Tip: For even faster results on "fresh" acne marks, you can layer this with a soothing product like the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner to calm inflammation while the Niacinamide works on the marks.
