Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum

Anua made it for:

• Dark spots: including marks left behind by breakouts.
• Uneven tone: skin that looks patchy or dull.
• Enlarged pores: it helps improve their look.
• Dryness: ceramides and hyaluronic acid keep skin hydrated.

Breakouts still active? Start with our Acne Kit.

1. Cleanse and tone.
2. Apply this serum.
3. Follow with moisturizer.
4. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Use it morning and night, following the steps above.

The hero is the trio of actives, and each one has its own job:

• Niacinamide (10%): visibly improves clarity and evens tone.
• Tranexamic acid (4%): helps reduce excess melanin and fade dark patches.
• Arbutin (2%): helps block melanin forming, to brighten dark spots.

Melanin is the pigment that makes dark spots dark.

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

Dark marks tend to be more common and more intense on deeper skin.

In Nakuru’s strong sun, they can darken again without daily protection.

So it matters that the serum you use holds what the label says.

We sell only authentic Korean skincare, sourced from authorized distributors and wholesalers.

1. Patch test on the inside of your arm first.
2. Apply a few drops to the areas you want to treat.
3. Pat it in gently.
4. Follow with your moisturizer.
5. By day, apply SPF 30 or higher on top.

Build up how often and how much you use, gradually.

• Most skin types: labeled low-irritation.
• Fragrance-sensitive skin: it’s fragrance-free.
• Very reactive skin: it holds several actives, so start slowly.
• Other acids: it includes betaine salicylate, a mild exfoliating ingredient.

If you get redness, stinging that lasts, or a rash, stop using it.

• Niacinamide, tranexamic acid, arbutin: the three hero actives.
• 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid: a stable form of vitamin C.
• Glycerin and butylene glycol: draw water into the skin.
• Plant oils: macadamia, olive, jojoba and grape seed, in small amounts.
• Betaine salicylate: a gentle cousin of salicylic acid.
• 1,2-hexanediol: a gentle preservative.

Photos from a clinical study of 23 people show skin clarity after 2 weeks of use. Individual results vary.

Deeper or older marks usually take longer, so keep going daily.

There's no published guidance on layering it with other actives. If you want to combine strong serums, message us or book a free skin consultation with Sylvia first.

Yes. Apply SPF 30 or higher during the day.

You can also use it on rough or dull-looking areas like elbows, knees and hands.
