The serum Anua NIACINAMIDE 10%+TXA 4% It primarily targets issues such as hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and redness. The Anua brand offers an advanced formula specifically designed for skin prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), melasma, or loss of radiance. My expert opinion is that this product is suitable for both young skin prone to acne and mature skin seeking to correct pigmentation irregularities, while respecting the skin's balance thanks to a moisturizing and soothing base.
Formula Analysis: Key Assets
Three key active ingredients structure the effectiveness of this serum:
- Niacinamide (10%) This vitamin B3 is known for its action in regulating sebum production, reducing pigmentation spots, and improving the skin barrier. It also acts on redness and inflammation.
- Tranexamic acid (4%) : A powerful inhibitor of melanin formation, it specifically targets brown spots and melasma by blocking the inflammatory signals responsible for hyperpigmentation.
- Alpha-Arbutin : A plant-based derivative, it complements the depigmenting action by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme, thereby limiting the formation of new spots.
The presence of hyaluronic acid in several forms, ceramides, and plant extracts enhances the product's moisturizing properties and tolerance, making the formula particularly high quality.
Tips and Application Ritual
I prefer to apply this serum in the evening, on clean skin, before moisturizer. It can be used in the morning, provided you apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. It is compatible with most moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, panthenol), but I do not recommend combining it with strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) or retinol to limit the risk of irritation.
My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion
This serum stands out for its synergy of anti-dark spot and soothing active ingredients, its light texture, and its excellent tolerance. Its fragrance-free formula limits the risk of allergies. The only possible downside is a slight tingling sensation on very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an expert choice for evening out the complexion and preventing dark spots, while respecting the skin barrier.

If you have reactive skin or skin with imperfections or melasma, this serum will be great. I pair it with Nooance copper peptides.

perfect for dark spots
this serum is perfect for making dark spots disappear; it's effective without aggressing. personally, i prefer to use it in the evening because the texture is a little thick. however, it doesn't have a greasy or sticky finish at all. .

pleasant and efficient

Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -
Mixed
I tried it because tranexamic acid reduces redness, but 10% of niacinamide is too much for my sensitive skin.

Mitigated.
I have mixed feelings.
I find it a little sticky.
that said, I've used it long enough and recommended it.
I prefer to use niacinamide and tranexamic acid in the same dosages but separately.
such as niacinamide booster from Colibri and tranexamic acid from Haruharu at 4%.

reduce redness
i really liked this serum because of its fluid texture. it doesn't fluff up. i'll gladly buy it again so i can incorporate tranexamic acid into my routine.

Hello, what anti-redness cream do you recommend with this serum for very reactive dry skin? Thank you
Written review of the BeautyDecoded application -
Good evening, I'm going to answer, but please note that I'm not a dermatologist or even a beautician, so my answer will be the one I could apply to myself.
if your skin is reactive and you're using this serum, I recommend a fragrance-free cream, just an emollient for comfort and to seal in moisture. You'll find it at Avène la tolerance is really good, or even at K beauty.
