You've tried the serums. You've watched the routines. And every morning, those dark spots are still there.
Here's what nobody told you: most brightening serums only fade what you can see. Your skin keeps producing more underneath. That's why the spots come back.
The Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum was built differently. Three well-researched brightening actives, working at three different points of melanin production at the same time.
HOW IT WORKS: THE 3-ACTIVE SYSTEM
Tranexamic Acid 4% — interrupts the signal that tells your skin to produce melanin. One of the safest long-term alternatives for stubborn melasma.
Niacinamide 10% — blocks the transfer of melanin to your skin's surface. Even if some pigment is produced, it doesn't reach the visible layer.
Arbutin 2% + Alpha-Arbutin — inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme that converts precursors into melanin. The third blockade.
Ceramides + Hyaluronic Acid + Centella Asiatica keep your barrier strong while the actives work — because irritated skin makes pigmentation worse, not better.

GOOD FOR
Dark spots · Melasma · Hyperpigmentation · Post-acne marks (PIH) · Uneven skin tone · Sun damage
Made for skin dealing with dark spots, melasma, post-acne marks, sun damage, or just a tone that won't even out. Gentle enough for daily use on most skin types, including combination and oily.
If your skin is highly reactive, patch test on your jawline for 3 nights before going full face.
HOW TO USE
Morning and night, after cleansing and toning. Apply 3-4 drops, focus on spots and concern areas, then follow with moisturiser.
SPF 50+ in the morning — non-negotiable when you're treating pigmentation.
Pair it with: Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Serum (AM antioxidant glow) and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun (UV protection, pigmentation's number one trigger). The full system is what changes your skin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long until I see results with Anua TXA Serum?
Most users notice a more even skin tone within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent daily use, morning and night. Dark spots, melasma and post-acne marks typically take 8 to 12 weeks to fade visibly, because the serum works on melanin production, not just surface pigment. Daily SPF 50+ is essential — without sun protection, pigmentation rebuilds faster than the actives can fade it. This is educational information; results vary by skin and concern severity.
Can I use Anua TXA Serum with vitamin C or retinol?
Yes. Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% layers well with vitamin C in the morning — pair it with Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Serum for a complete brightening AM routine. At night, it can be combined with retinol, but apply the TXA serum first, wait 1 to 2 minutes, then layer retinol. If your skin is new to actives, alternate nights instead of layering. Always finish with SPF 50+ in the morning.
Does Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum work for melasma?
Tranexamic acid is one of the most studied topical actives for melasma, and Anua combines it with niacinamide and arbutin to target three different points of melanin production. For melasma concerns, consistent use with daily sun protection may support a more even-looking skin tone over 8 to 12 weeks. Melasma is a chronic condition influenced by hormones and UV exposure, so for persistent or severe cases, we recommend consulting a dermatologist alongside topical treatment.
