The short answer

Anua's Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum combines 10% niacinamide, 4% tranexamic acid and 2% arbutin, with ceramides and hyaluronic acid for comfort. It's worth it if you're working on post-breakout marks, dullness or uneven-looking tone. Results take consistent use and daily SPF.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: Three well-known brighteners in one watery, non-greasy serum keeps your routine short. The added ceramides help it feel comfortable.
Skip it if: Your skin tends to flush or sting with higher-strength niacinamide.
The catch: Fading marks takes weeks, not days. Without sunscreen, you're working against yourself.
