I wasn’t expecting much, but this serum really surprised me. My skin had been looking dull from inconsistent routines and leftover acne marks, but within 2–3 weeks of using the Anua Dark Spot Correcting Serum, I started noticing visible changes. 

The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, so it layers well with other products. I used it consistently in my PM routine after toner and before moisturizer.

What stood out most was how evenly it brightened my skin tone without making it feel sensitized or sticky. I’ve tried other niacinamide-based serums before, but they either broke me out or didn’t do much. This one felt gentler but more effective — probably thanks to the TXA combo. 

I haven’t had any irritation or pilling, and even my under-the-skin redness has faded slightly. 

Subtle, but steady progress. Honestly, I already ordered a backup bottle.
