AXIS-Y - TasTheStuff review for Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum

Update - Feb 2025 This sounded like a product right up my alley… until it wasn’t. I used it from 2023 to early 2024, and while I initially liked it, I found that the progress on my dark spots was too slow. I’ve used other products that cleared similar spots in just a few weeks, while this one took months. This is my second time revisiting it, as I really did enjoy the hydrating and glow factor. What This Is: - A clear, gel-like serum - Contains 50 mL / 1.69 fl. oz. - Purpose: To help correct and brighten dark spots while hydrating the skin My Rating: 3.5/5 🌱 This serum feels light and easy to absorb on the skin, and it didn’t clog my pores. 🌱 As this isn’t my first time using it, I can say that fading dark spots took quite a while—around the 6-month mark is when I started to notice a difference. If you’re looking for quick results, this may not be for you. 🌱 The brightening ingredient in this is niacinamide, which I see in most Korean skincare. Niacinamide is a great active ingredient, but it's so common now that it doesn’t really stand out as a differentiating formula. 🌱 Bottom line: This is great for a daily glow and does help with spots to some extent, but you’ll need to be patient for noticeable results. ——————————————————————— Original - Dec 2023 My current holy grail: serum edition. This is probably the best purchase I made so far. I used it for 4 weeks and already saw drastic improvements to my skin. Here are my reasons why this is the *best* acne mark serum: 🌱 Contains niacinamide. Niacinamide is hyped up it it’s own right. It’s an anti-acne, skin brightening, and cell communicating (basically tells your skin to behave) ingredient. 🌱It contains glycerin - which is literally a skin identical ingredient and helps skin bind with water, which literally translates to hydrated skin. 🌱 The applicator is amazing. It’s sanitary and does not leave mess over time. 🌱 The consistency is smooth and blends in well. There is no tacky aftermath. 🌱Works super well with almost all skin types, especially sensitive and oily skin (which I have)!
