Highlights
Description
This is a 30 ml serum from Anua designed to address dark spots and uneven skin tone. Per the brand, it contains 10% niacinamide, 4% tranexamic acid, and 2% alpha-arbutin—three actives the brand pairs to target hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks. The formula also includes hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, and ceramides. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid (a humectant that attracts water) work to support the skin barrier, while tranexamic acid and arbutin are both used to address discoloration.
Per the brand, the serum has a lightweight, watery texture designed to be non-sticky and fast-absorbing, making it easy to layer under other products. The brand describes it as fragrance-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. Anua notes the formula is better suited to brown or black post-acne marks tied to melanin overproduction, and the brand suggests starting with 1–2 applications per week and gradually increasing frequency. Daily SPF 30 or higher is recommended during daytime use.
