What the gurus are saying

This serum's multi-ingredient approach to fading dark spots and post-acne marks earns strong praise, especially for how quickly it can brighten hyperpigmentation when used consistently. The 4% tranexamic acid pairs with niacinamide and centella to calm inflammation and target discoloration from different angles, and the lightweight gel texture layers well without feeling heavy. One expert found it soothing and helpful for post-acne marks but didn't feel they needed it in their own routine, so results may vary depending on how stubborn your hyperpigmentation is. Those with sensitive skin or using tretinoin may want to ease it in on alternate nights rather than daily.

"I really like this one. This is actually the first bottle that I've had this product, but I actually have a few more in my backstock. This one is really great for exactly what it says: dark spots and hyperpigmentation. If you do suffer with dark marks after acne or an inflammatory event on your skin, this is really the type of formula you want to look at. There is centella in here, which is a great anti-inflammatory ingredient, so it helps to lessen that inflammation, which helps to lessen the severity of the dark marks. We've got tranexamic acid in here, which helps to target that pigmentation on the skin. There's also a little bit of vitamin C in here, there's some niacinamide, another great way to attack the hyperpigmentation. You can use this full face for brightening, but you can also just use it as a spot treatment for dark spots too, but I find that it works really, really well."

I'm Breaking Out! Routine for Breakouts and Hyperpigmentation
"I was actually really surprised at how fast it started to brighten my skin. I've been slotting it into my nighttime routines when I'm not using tretinoin, so I use this on the other nights. You could use it in the morning, and you could certainly use it every day morning and night if you want to. It has this gel texture that's hydrating but spreads out a lot thinner than it first looks and just melts into the skin really nicely. It plays alongside other products really well because it doesn't bring a lot of heft or moisture, but it really is a beautiful treatment serum. It has 4% tranexamic acid in here, there's also centella, which is a beautiful anti-inflammatory ingredient that promotes healing, and then there's also a kiss of vitamin C in here."
My Haruharu Top 5 Faves!
"I've been raving about this since the spring because this has been really great for helping to brighten hyperpigmentation on my face, especially those dark marks that happen after a pimple. They're not just focusing on the tranexamic acid, they're using 4% here, which is a good amount, and I have found really good success with this particular brightening ingredient especially for the dark marks. But they're also combining it with 4% niacinamide, which is a really fantastic and very reliable brightener for the skin, and they're also using just the tiniest little bit of vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid as well as sodium ascorbyl phosphate. This is really compelling because we've got some really great active ingredients here working to brighten up your skin, not just relying on one or a high percentage, but a couple of different ones. So they're kind of coming at the hyperpigmentation in different ways, and I find that to be extremely beneficial for helping to fade hyperpigmentation faster."

"It's a clear colorless gel with a little bit of a grip to it, a little thicker than some others. It's got compounds from centella, and it also has niacinamide. I look forward to using this."

"No problem with the Haruharu Wonder Dark Spot Go Away Serum. If you've got post acne marks, dark marks, red marks and you want something to soothe, to gently hydrate, to help potentially support the needs of improving those, this might be something you might want to consider. But as it stands now with my skin, it's not something that I feel I need in my routine."
