- 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

- Asked by Kasey
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out to us. As for the Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum, you can definitely apply it after using a toner. Using toner first helps prep your skin and enhance the serum’s absorption for better brightening and dark spot care results.

- 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
- Q
Can this be used after exfoliating?
- Asked by Nat
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question! The ANUA Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum can generally be used after exfoliating, as both niacinamide and tranexamic acid are known to be gentle and supportive of the skin barrier. This combination can help soothe and brighten the skin following exfoliation. However, since exfoliation may increase skin sensitivity temporarily, it’s important to ensure your skin tolerates this layering well. We recommend using a hydrating toner or essence first, then applying the serum, and always following up with a moisturizer and sunscreen if used during the day. A patch test is also advised when introducing new products into your routine. If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be used for dark spotsaround the eyes?
- Asked by Marie
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question! This serum is designed to target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. While it may help reduce dark spots, we do not recommend using it around the delicate eye area, as it contains active ingredients that may cause irritation. Please use an eye cream specifically formulated for that area instead. Please let us know if you have any other questions — we’re happy to assist!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Do you put this on before or after a toner?
- Asked by Amanda
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThe ANUA Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum should be applied after toner and before moisturizer in your skincare routine. Using it after toner allows the serum to absorb more effectively and deliver its benefits to your skin. Here’s a simple order for reference: 1. Cleanser 2. Toner 3. Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum 4. Moisturizer 5. Sunscreen (AM routine only) We hope this helps you get the best results from your routine. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be used daily?
- Asked by Andrea
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your interest in our Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum. Yes, this serum can be used daily, ideally once a day during your evening routine. However, if you’re new to niacinamide or tranexamic acid, we recommend starting with 2–3 times a week and gradually increasing the frequency as your skin builds tolerance. As with any active skincare ingredient, be sure to follow up with sunscreen in the morning and observe how your skin responds. If you experience any irritation, please reduce usage or consult with a dermatologist. We hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Can this be applied all over the face or just to spots?
- Asked by Krista
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question! The ANUA Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum can be applied either all over the face or targeted to specific areas, depending on your skin’s needs. If you're looking to address overall skin tone, dullness, or enlarged pores, applying it to the entire face is totally fine. But if you’re targeting specific spots like dark marks or blemishes, applying only to those areas is also effective. Just remember to start with a small amount and gradually increase usage as your skin builds tolerance. And of course, don’t forget sunscreen during the day to protect your skin while using active ingredients. Let us know if you have more questions—we're happy to helpWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be used on senstive skin?
- Asked by Zar
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question. The Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum is formulated with sensitive skin in mind. It contains soothing and barrier-strengthening ingredients such as Centella Asiatica extract, Panthenol, Ceramide NP, and is free from artificial fragrance and alcohol, making it gentle and non-irritating. That said, as every skin reacts differently, we strongly recommend performing a patch test on a small area (e.g., behind the ear or along the jawline) before applying it to your full face. This helps ensure your skin responds well to the product. Please feel free to reach out if you have further concerns!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is it normal for the solution in the bottle to turn brown after opening the product? I've had mine for a couple of weeks and have seen it slowly change color from the bright pink it started to completely brown.
- Asked by DT
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageWe would like to inform you that the pink hue of the Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum is derived from the plant-based ingredient Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin). This ingredient naturally gives the product its pink color. Please note that the color of the serum may vary slightly depending on the time of production. It generally has a red or pinkish hue, but color perception may differ from person to person. Additionally, prolonged exposure to light may cause discoloration due to pigment degradation, leading to a slight change in color. However, this does not affect the product’s quality or efficacy. To maintain its original color for longer, we recommend storing the product in a cool, dark place. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your understanding!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...

Spot on!
My daughter is in love with this product.
Not the best for acne prone skin
I would say my over all discoloration did improve slightly but it did break me out on my forehead and on my upper cheeks. ( my t-zone)
A must repurchase
This serum is so good! I have hyperpigmentation from tbe slighest things and tjis serum single handedly faded them so quickly, revealing a more even skin tone. I am thoroughly pleased with this profuct.
Too harsh for me..
The serum caused me to break out.
Can you handle extreme stickiness??
I have a love-hate with this product. It has a really high concentration of important skin care ingredients, and in combo with my entire skin care regime- my skin seriously looks great. But…. It's soooooooo sticky! It's goopy, and it takes forever to absorb! Even at small amounts. I have to build in at least 15 minutes extra for it to sink in enough to put moisturizer on top and its still sticky. Its ironic its advertised as lightweight and not sticky- I'm on my 3rd bottle and I curse the stickiness every day. So beware, and have patience.
