What the gurus are saying

This serum combines tranexamic acid with 10% niacinamide to target dark spots by addressing both pigment creation and transfer. Experts praise its effectiveness on dark spots and brightening, with some noting its gentle, non-drying feel. However, those sensitive to higher levels of niacinamide may experience irritation or congestion; patch testing is wise if niacinamide hasn't worked well for you at lower strengths.

"I don't do well with these high levels of niacinamide. I was actually seeing my skin looking more irritated, I was getting more breakouts, so I just kind of gave up on this one. This just is not for me."

"This is the Anua Niacinamide 10% and Tranexamic Acid 4% Serum. I had to stop using this because it's just not working for me, my skin got more congested and a little more irritated and sensitive while using it. I'm not surprised, because niacinamide at higher levels typically doesn't work for my skin, even though I love niacinamide at low levels and use it all the time."

"This ingredient profile is unique and complimentary because when you think about dark spots, not only do you create pigment through tyroinase, but then you also transfer the pigment through melanosomes"
