My New Skincare Obsession
I've tried my fair share of serums, but this one? It's a total game-changer. If you're on the hunt for tighter, brighter skin, keep reading because this serum is everything. First Impressions Let's talk about the packaging. Simple, clean, and chic. The dropper is super easy to use, and you don't ne...

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...

You need this for glass skin
It really even out my skin tone
Wow!
Absolutely amazing. Will buy every two months. I hooked. Best product I've used in my life!!
Had no idea when I bought it, but wow!
I added this trial size while in line, to fulfill the remainder of a coupon i was using. Ive never used this brand before so I didn't have high expectations when comparing similar ingredients in products from other lines that ive usec . I recently started trying 2 popular korean brands from tick tock. Medi destroyed my akin, which i have been working on for weeks to repair. DrM actually worked pretty well for me, but still didn't deliver what I had hoped for. I think it's just too many steps for my skin, As it's recently become sensitive. The first day I used this product it layered very well with my moisturizer underneath my foundation. (I will state, even if you use toner, id apply it after this product.) Normally my makeup routine products pilled by the end of my 12 hour shift, but not with this one! The second and third day I noticed a minor bit of dryness around my nose and chin, but nothing unbearable. After the fourth day, my skin started looking better than it has in months. My dark spots are fading, mind you I never had any acne scars until the past year or so. My skin is smoother and I am extremely happy with this product. I am so glad that I asked the cashier if it was a popular brand before I bought it. I'm now purchasing the larger bottle and probably switching it from my previous routine due to it delivering the best results so far. I have combination skin and live in Tampa, Florida where after 10 minutes of being outside, youre sweating and your face is shiny from the humidity. This doesn't cause that! Keeps the oil under control seemingly well! I highly recommend this product!

Is this effective for dark underarms? Are there specific reviews to support claims of effectivity on dark underarms? How do you use this for underarms and how long does it typically take to see results?
- Asked by CK

The Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum for Brightening and Dark Spots is formulated to help brighten the appearance of dark spots and promote a more even-looking skin tone.
