💡 Why I Tried It

I’ve been looking for a brightening serum that helps with uneven skin tone and post-acne marks without irritating my skin. Since I already love Anua’s heartleaf toner, I thought I’d give this serum a shot! The combination of 10% Niacinamide + 4% Tranexamic Acid (TXA) sounded promising for tackling dullness and hyperpigmentation. I was scared to try it because of all the mixed reviews, but I decided to act bold lol
