I'm trying to figure out how you use this product. I know you put it on your face, but do you wash your face first or do you wash the product off your face after you put it on your face? I just need a little more information.

Can this be used with Anua Peach 70 Niacin Serum?
- Asked by Combine
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question. These products can be used together in the same routine.

- Q
Would this be safe to use on sensitive acne prone skin?
- Asked by Stef
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for contacting us at Anua! The Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum for Brightening and Dark Spots is formulated to help support a more even-looking tone and address dark spots. Many customers with sensitive, acne-prone skin find it tolerable when introduced gradually. For the best results with sensitive skin, we recommend: • Patch testing before full-face use. • Applying a thin layer and observing your skin’s response over a few days. • Introducing it once daily at first, then increasing frequency only if your skin feels comfortable. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can you use this on inner thigh dark spots?
- Asked by TayTay
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out to us. You can apply the Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum to other areas of the body, such as inner thigh dark spots, if those areas have similar concerns (discoloration, uneven tone). Always patch test first on a small area to ensure there’s no irritation. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out - we’re happy to help.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum be used to treat melasma? Also, can it be layered with the Celimax Vita-A Retinal 0.1% Shot Booster Treatment in the PM?
- Asked by Ray
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your interest in our Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum. The Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum contains ingredients that help support brightening, improving uneven tone, and reducing the appearance of dark spots over time. While it can be part of a routine for melasma-prone skin, melasma is a complex condition and often requires a combination of sun protection, consistent routine, and sometimes professional guidance. You can generally layer the niacinamide serum with a retinal/retinoid in the evening. Apply the niacinamide serum before the retinal product, and follow with a moisturizer. If your skin is sensitive, introduce them gradually and monitor how your skin responds. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out - we’re happy to help.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Can I use this with the Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum?
- Asked by Bay
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your interest in ANUA! The ANUA Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum can be used in combination with the Anua Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum. These two ingredients target different aspects of skin concerns - azelaic acid helps calm inflammation and reduce redness, while niacinamide and tranexamic acid works to brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. When used together, they can complement each other in addressing uneven skin tone and sensitivity, delivering a comprehensive solution for radiant, balanced skin. However, as both ingredients can be active, we recommend introducing them gradually and observing how your skin responds. Patch testing before full application is always advisable. Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or need further assistance.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

Using toner first helps prep your skin and enhance the serum’s absorption for better brightening and dark spot care results. If you have any further questions, feel free to let us know - we’re here to help.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this product be used with Vitamin C?
- Asked by Mac
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question. The ANUA Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum can generally be used alongside Vitamin C. Both ingredients target concerns like uneven tone and dark spots, and combining them may enhance brightening benefits. However, as with any active ingredient pairing, skin tolerance can vary. We recommend introducing them gradually into your routine and performing a patch test before full use. If you have very sensitive skin, you may prefer to use Vitamin C in the morning and the Niacinamide TXA Serum in the evening to minimize potential irritation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this product be used with retinol?
- Asked by Pams
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question. The Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum is formulated to help brighten skin and improve the look of dark spots. In general, niacinamide can be used alongside retinol in a routine, as both ingredients may complement each other. That said, since everyone’s skin sensitivity is different, we recommend introducing them gradually and monitoring how your skin responds. You may also consider applying them at different times (for example, niacinamide in the morning and retinol at night) if you have concerns about sensitivity. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to assist you.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be used on chest for dark spots and sun spots. Thank you
- Asked by AA
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question. The Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum is formulated to help brighten the skin and target the appearance of dark spots. While it is primarily designed for facial use, some customers do apply it to other areas of concern, such as the chest. As the skin on the body may differ in sensitivity compared to the face, we recommend doing a small patch test first to ensure it is well tolerated. Please also remember to follow with sunscreen during the day, especially on areas exposed to the sun. We hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any other questions.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can niacinamide 10 TXA serum be used by a teenager who has dark spots due to acne??
- Asked by Lalis
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out with your concern. The Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum is formulated to help brighten the appearance of dark spots and even skin tone, which may benefit post-acne marks. However, as every skin is unique, particularly in teenagers, we recommend doing a patch test first and introducing the serum gradually (e.g., a few times per week) to monitor tolerance. Should you have any questions or need further assistance in the meantime, feel free to reach out - we’re happy to help.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I have redness around my cheeks and all over my face does this serum help get rid of redness?
- Asked by Cberg
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out! Our Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum is formulated to help brighten the skin and improve the appearance of uneven tone, and it may support overall skin clarity. However, if your redness is due to sensitivity or inflammation, we would recommend using a more soothing product first - such as our Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum, which is specially designed to calm redness and support a healthy skin barrier. Please note that this recommendation is intended for redness caused by dryness and not associated with any medical condition. If you're unsure about the cause of your redness, we suggest doing a patch test first and starting with gentle products before gradually introducing stronger actives like niacinamide at higher concentrations.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can I use this at the same time as hydroquinone?
- Asked by Lu
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your inquiry. While hydroquinone is a potent skin-lightening agent used in targeted treatments, it can also increase skin sensitivity. Using it alongside our Anua NIACINAMIDE 10% + TXA 4% SERUM containing niacinamide may be tolerated by some users, as niacinamide is generally soothing and supportive of the skin barrier. However, since both ingredients affect pigmentation, we highly recommend consulting with a dermatologist or medical professional before combining them - especially if you’re using a hydroquinone-based product prescribed for a specific condition. Also, please ensure that proper sun protection is used during the day, as hydroquinone can make your skin more susceptible to UV damage.Was this answer helpful to you

Not for me
The NIACINAMIDE 10%+TXA 4% Serum by Anua wasn't for me. Some background, I'm a 42 year old Master Esthetician that loves super hydrating (bordering on indulgent) skincare. My combo skin leans a bit dry these days, especially during the winter. My experience using this serum was brief (a week) bu...

Definitely Recommend!
I have a lot of hyperpigmentation around ny mouth and had a lot acne scars/texture. The serum definitely helped in improving skin tone and texture!
Yes
Very good
Sticky!
I was hesistant to buy this as it claims to be non sticky but certain reviews complain about this.. i saw better reviews on tiktok videos but that should pretty much explain that lol. I apply it and let it absorb for 10. 15 even sometimes 20 minutes before applying my moisturizer but it still feels sticky! Havent noticed any results either.
RUINED skin barrier after ONE use
Used this only ONE TIME and it ruined my skin barrier immediately. Its been over a week since I used it and my skin is getting worse every day. Dry, red, itchy, face covered in papules. Gonna take weeks to heal my barrier again. Would not recommend at all, especially for sensitive or acne proje skin. Wayyyy too strong a papsutels
Not for sensitive skin 
I really thought it was working after 2 weeks , than my face just flared up and i broke out I know it was 10% niacinamide but i thought it was not going to affect me that much, i did switch to the anua azelaic acid and it is way bttr no irritation and the pimples and the redness started going away.
