Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum
💖 Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum
Â
This powerful serum is designed as a targeted treatment for managing dark spots, post-acne marks (PIH/PIE), and overall uneven skin tone. It combines two highly effective ingredients for brightening and clarity.
Â
Product Overview & Key Features
Â
-
Hyperpigmentation Fighter: This serum is formulated to fade existing dark spots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation (like sun spots and acne scars) while helping to prevent new ones from forming.
-
High-Potency Brightening: It features a high concentration of two key ingredients that work synergistically to block the transfer of pigment (melanin) within the skin cells.
-
Texture and Pores: The high Niacinamide content also helps to balance oil production, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and improve the overall texture and elasticity of the skin.
-
Formula: It has a light, easily absorbed texture that is suitable for all skin types, though those with very sensitive skin should patch-test due to the high active concentrations.

Key Ingredients
Â
| Ingredient | Concentration | Primary Benefit |
| Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) | 10% | Excellent for brightening, reducing inflammation, minimizing pore appearance, improving barrier function, and regulating oil. |
| Tranexamic Acid (TXA) | 4% | A powerful amino acid derivative used to treat stubborn hyperpigmentation, particularly melasma and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE). |
| Alpha Arbutin | (Included, likely 2%) | Works to block melanin synthesis, further enhancing the brightening and dark spot correcting effects. |

This serum is a targeted treatment step in your routine, used after cleansing and toning.
Â
Step-by-Step Instructions
Â
-
Preparation: After cleansing your face and applying a hydrating toner (like the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner), ensure your skin is slightly damp.
-
Dispense: Using the dropper, dispense 2-3 drops of the serum onto your palm.
-
Application: Gently pat or spread the serum over your entire face.
-
Targeted Treatment: For stubborn dark spots, you can apply an extra drop directly onto the spot and pat it in gently.
-
Follow-Up: Allow the serum to absorb for 30 seconds, then follow with your moisturizer (like the Heartleaf Mask Moisture Cream) to seal in the benefits and hydration.

Important Usage Notes
Â
-
When to Use: Use this serum once or twice a day, in the morning and/or evening.
-
Sun Protection is Essential: Ingredients that target hyperpigmentation can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher, like the Anua Sun Cream) as the last step of your morning routine to prevent new dark spots and protect your results.
