As someone who has struggled with hyperpigmentation, I’ve tried every product under the sun. From going back and forth to the dermatologist to trying different creams, lotions and serums, nothing has compared to Korean skincare and beauty products. After clearing out my skincare fridge and replacing it with Korean skincare products, I will never go back to generic skin products. A favorite in my fridge is the Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% serum. Not only does my skin feel super refreshed and hydrated after applying this serum every night, but I’ve noticed that my dark spots have been disappearing. Here’s why this serum works well for me, and might be a game changer for you, too.
Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum, $19
Just recently, I bought the Anua serum, and it’s already started to clear my hyperpigmentation that I’ve had for so long. This serum gets rid of the stubborn dark spots, which is just what I needed and works well on all skin types.
Containing 10% niacinamide, 4% tranexamic acid, and 2% arbutin, this powerful trio of ingredients work together to even out your skin tone, target dull skin and large pores, while strengthening the skin barrier. There’s no fragrance in this serum, so it’s designed for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin, like me. One of the things I love most about this serum is that it’s lightweight, but it also isn’t sticky.
This serum can be paired with other Anua products or your favorite Korean skincare products, and it should be applied after cleanser and toner but before moisturizer and sunscreen. It’s gentle enough to use daily, in the mornings or the evenings, and you only need to apply a few drops to any affected areas.
If you want that Korean glass skin effect, or if you’re looking to get rid of any hyperpigmentation, this serum will seriously work wonders for your skin. One reviewer says, “After a few weeks of daily use, my skin looks more radiant and has that ‘glass skin’ effect. If you have sensitive skin and want a serum that brightens, hydrates and evens out your complexion, this is definitely worth a try.”
Whether you’re completely ingrained in the K-beauty trends or are just starting your skincare journey, I highly recommend this product for smooth, bright and clear skin. Trust me, it’ll be the best $19 you’ve ever spent on skincare.
