Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum

It’s made for the marks that stay after the spot has gone:

• Dark spots: including marks left behind by breakouts.
• Patchy or dull tone: for a clearer, more even look.
• Enlarged pores: it helps improve how they look.
• Thirsty skin: ceramide and hyaluronic acid add hydration.

Still breaking out? Calm active spots first with our Acne Kit.

It’s a serum, so it goes after toner and before moisturizer:

• Morning: cleanse, tone, this serum, moisturizer, then sunscreen.
• Night: cleanse, tone, this serum, then moisturizer.

Three actives share the work, each at a stated strength:

• Niacinamide, 10%: improves clarity and evens out tone.
• Tranexamic acid, 4%: helps reduce excess melanin behind dark patches.
• Arbutin, 2%: helps limit new melanin, to brighten dark spots.

Niacinamide and tranexamic acid sit third and fourth, right after water and glycerin.

• Alpha-arbutin: a second form of arbutin.
• Ceramide NP: helps strengthen the skin barrier.
• Hyaluronic acid: several forms, for hydration.
• Panthenol: vitamin B5, a hydrator.
• Centella asiatica extract: a well-known calming plant.

On deeper skin, dark marks tend to show more and last longer.

Nakuru sits high, and UV rises with altitude, so marks can darken again without care.

That’s why a dark spot serum must contain what its label says.

In a clinical study of 23 people, photos showed clearer-looking skin after two weeks.

Most dark spots usually take four to eight weeks of daily use to look lighter.

A 10ml bottle may not last that long, so plan to move up to the 30ml if you like it.
