5. Top Customer Reviews
★★★★★On my third bottle. Definitely a keeper!!
I’m now on my third bottle. I use this every morning after cleansing, before moisturizer and sunscreen. Just three drops. It layers fine under both, no pilling, no sticky feeling once it sets. Instant glowy, moisturized skin. Very effective if you’re looking for that “glassy” look. My skin feels noticeably smoother, especially on my cheeks where it used to feel a little rough. It's become a permanent part of my morning routine. Honestly, I don't have a negative to report. No irritation, no weird smell, and the dropper bottle has held up through three bottles without getting gunky. If you're on ...
★★★★★Amazing, but be careful on how you apply it for sensitive skin
I have very dry senstive skin, Rocesa , and a bit eczema that flares up when I have allergies. I rarely break out and when I do it never leaves spots but randomly two years ago I had gotten a pimple and it left a red mark on the temple on my face . It never went away . so I decided to try this, I ONLY put it on the red spot never anywhere else . I know my skin and I know it won’t tolerate it but I wanted to try it on my nose for fun and it irritated my nose so definitely don’t recommend putting anywhere where there no red mark from a pimple. Anyways , the texture is light, gluey, and like stic ...
★★★★★Affordable, Effective, and Worth Repurchasing!
I’ve repurchased this serum seven times now, which speaks for itself because it has become an absolute staple in my daily routine and one of the few products I refuse to run out of! The texture is remarkably lightweight and deeply hydrating, absorbing quickly without feeling sticky, greasy, or heavy, while layering seamlessly under moisturizer and sunscreen. I originally started using it to target dark spots, post-breakout marks, and uneven skin tone; with consistent use, my complexion looks noticeably brighter, smoother, and more even overall, all without causing any irritation. I loved it so ...
★★★★★Honestly its worth ittt
LOVE this serum! 😍✨ I’ve been using the Anua Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum consistently, and I can definitely see a difference in my skin. My skin looks more even, brighter, and my dark marks are slowly improving. The consistency is nice and lightweight, and it layers well with the rest of my skincare. Honestly, consistency is KEYYY! 😂💕 Don’t expect overnight results give it time and stick with it.
★★★★☆Go Low and Slow
This is a great product overall. To start off, I gradually integrated this serum into my skincare routine out of fear of upsetting the delicate balance of my combination skin - one drop every other day. In the first 2-4 weeks, I would see some small white heads here and there. When this happened, I'd minimize the amount of product used each day and/or the frequency in which I used it. 4 months in, I'm starting to experience some positive results. My skin tone has evened out overall. No more dark patches or spots. If I get a pimple, it clears, with minimal PIH. After a week or two, the spot is ...
★★★★★Melasma and old cystic acne scars
I have had melasma on my forehead for about 2yrs now. On my bare skin it’s sorta noticeable but only if you sit there and stare at my forehead. It gets really noticeable when I wear makeup, it looks GREY. I’ve had prescription creams brought from Mexico and nothing seemed to help. I finally did a little research and found a couple of products on here but the price was too much for my liking. I finally decided to buy this product and at first I started using a heavy layer of it which in turn started to cause me cystic acne. I stopped for a few days, did a facial scrub and started it again with ...
★★★★★Great product!
I love this product! I’m a senior and really softens and hydrates my skin while helping with dark spots . I’m on my second bottle. Good brand.
★★★★☆I am not sure yet - but it is likely working
I've been using pretty much daily. It is not fast acting. It's been a month and I don't see much difference in skin tone. I will say that it is probably strengthening the skin barrier and oil production... but not skin tone which is what I bought it for. I will keep using it.
