MeaningInMakeup review for Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum

I received this product for free from Picky and ANUA in exchange for my honest review. Please note that the picture of me is on day one of using the product! I’m still dealing with active acne because of the heat of summer. But I have seen products with niacinamide like this one help me with my post acne scarring with continued use. This is definitely a product that has a lot of ingredients that could be allergens, the first that comes to mind is the cocoa extract. So as always check the ingredient list before trying a product if you have known allergies! I fell in love with this serum so fast! I love the texture of it: not too thick and not too thin. There was no added fragrance to the formula. It features hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, and Glycerin. Of course we can’t forget the star ingredient of niacinamide which is great for helping with post acne hyperpigmentation. I tend to have dry leaning skin, but as long as I paired this with a thicker moisturizer, I didn’t have issues with this making my skin super flaky. Just remember to wear an SPF when using niacinamide (although a lot now feature that as an ingredient, which could lead to too much of the product on your routine. So definitely stay on top of what ingredients you are mixing in your routine!).
