The Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum is a serum containing Niacinamide (10%) and Tranexamic Acid (4%), Arbutin (2%), Hyaluronic Acid and botanical oils, targeting dark spots, hyperpigmentation and discoloration, promising a brighter complexion while soothing the skin, correcting the skin tone and providing moisture. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭: I haven't noticed any scent while using this, it's a fragrance free serum, which is great for sensitive skin! 𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥: The first thing I noticed, was that gorgeous brigh red - pinkish colour! It looks delicious, like a sirop! But beware, it's not edible, although it looks like liquid candy! 😉😁 That colour is really gorgeous though! I expected a sweet, candylike and fruity scent to go with that colour, but like I mentioned before, it doesn't have any scent, which makes me a bit sad, actually, because I really don't mind fragranced products and this serum definitely looks like it should have like a bubblegum, strawberry or cherry scent! 😉 The serum has a thin, low viscosity, liquid, quite runny texture, a bit between water and oil and a light pinkish colour outside of the bottle, which makes sense. Obviously, the serum appears to be more reddish and bright inside the bottle because there's much more serum inside the bottle, compared to the few drops inside the dropper or the few drops you drop into your hands or onto a cotton pad before applying the serum. This serum should have a non sticky texture, but sadly, it does feel sticky while and after applying it to the skin. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠: The serum comes in a clear glass bottle, topped with a white colored dropper underneath the white cap on top of it and clearly shows it's bright red colour through the clear glass. The bottle contains the brand and product name in white lettering and on the back of the bottle there's an explanation of how to use the serum, in both English and Korean, also in white lettering. The clear bottle comes in a minimalistic looking white carton box with black lettering, printed in soy ink, and contains a list of ingredients, brand and product info, the info of the manufacturer and a guide on how to use the product. The dropper beneath the cap makes it easy and hygienic to use. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭: I really wanted to love this serum, because I've heard and read so many good things about it and I absolutely love the vivid, bright colour, but sadly, I didn't love the serum all that much. I can't really say much about the brightening and the spot correcting properties, because I've received the serum a few days before the review deadline and wasn't able to test it long enough, but I do like that it makes my face feel and look plump and provides a dewy and healthy looking glow to my skin. It does provides moisture and hydratation, but I don't feel like it's enough for my sensitive combo skin. It doesn't really gives my skin a smooth and soft feeling either. I've used serums and creams that made my skin feel really soft and silky smooth, but this one wasn't one of those. The first time I used it, it stinged a bit too. And I absolutely don't like the sticky feeling while and after applying. It absorbs quite quickly, but the sticky feeling remains long after absorbing. 𝐌𝐲 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧: Like I said, I really wanted to love this serum, but sadly, I didn't loved it that much. I do like certain aspects of the serum, but not the total package. Since it doesn't provide that much moisture, I feel like it might be more fitted for normal to oily skin, but it didn't do much for my skin. I would recommend the serum to normal to oily skin people looking for a healthy glow and a dewy finish, because the glow really is fantastic and it makes your skin look healthy and plump, but not to people with dry or combination skin because of the lack of moisture and hydratation. As for myself, I'm gonna keep using it for now to see the final results regarding the brightening and spot correcting properties, but I think I'm not gonna buy it again in the future because, in my opinion, there are Niacinamide serums that do a better job and deliver more. That's why I'm rating the Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum with 3 stars. 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
