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

This has been trending lately on all my socials, which initially piqued my interest. As someone who tries to be mindful of my purchases and what I put on my skin, I decided to hold off on buying it. Fortunately, Picky and Anua graciously gifted it to me via a giveaway, allowing me to test it. I posted my skincare routine in a list on this app before, so you can tell I have a pretty simple routine that works well for me. I do enjoy trying new skincare products every once in a while, as it gives me the opportunity to consider incorporating a new product into my routine. I tested the Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% for a few weeks before concluding my overall thoughts on it. Here are some of the reasons why I love this product: 🍓 As someone who occasionally experiences hyperpigmentation, I found this product met my needs. As a person of color, it's not easy to find a serum that effectively addresses dark spots. This product did fade some of the hyperpigmentation spots I get from breakouts, and I saw improvement in just a few days. 🍓 The main ingredient in this product is 10% niacinamide. Niacinamide is known to fight hyperpigmentation, and at a 10% concentration, it’s perfect for a seasoned skincare user like me. Niacinamide also helps with moisturizing, so I didn’t have to worry about my skin drying out while treating it. 🍓 This product also contains tranexamic acid, which is known for brightening the skin. When you are fighting hyperpigmentation, you are also brightening your skin. The niacinamide and tranexamic acid work well together to enhance this effect. 🍓 There are absolutely NO irritating ingredients in this product (at least for me). Usually, you’ll find potential triggers like perfuming agents in some Korean skincare, but this did not contain any of those. As someone with a sensitive nose, I appreciated that it did not contain any scent at all. 🍓 Can we talk about the packaging?! The packaging and bottle design of this product are not only aesthetically pleasing but also engineered to keep the product sterile and hygienic, which impressed me so much. 🍓 I'm considering adding this to my routine in place of the Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum. I feel that the Anua one works a bit faster and a tad bit better than the one I currently use, no joke. Overall, I rate this a 5/5. I don't usually fall for hyped-up products, which is why I judged this harshly, but this product was pretty impressive.
