ANAI RUI 5% Tranexamic Acid Serum With Niacinamide, Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Reduce Dark Spot, PIH, for Uneven Skin Tone 1FL.Oz

I have repurchased this item and feel like it has been worth it. I have pretty bad melasma that nothing has worked on, including prescription creams. Is this perfect?- No, but it really is working to lighten the dark spots and even out my skin tone. It has a nice feel and sinks right into my skin. It is not greasy or slimey but also not too watery. I put this on as my first step followed by benzoyl peroxide and moisturizer. I literally use one drop on my entire face so this lasts a while. It doesn't smell and doesn't seem to lose effectiveness over time. I have super sensitive skin and actually feel like this is effective yet soothing. I have tried a lot of other options for melasma and this is the only one I keep going back to. Would recommend.

This product is non-irritating (for me), which is good. The main ingredient, tranexamic acid, needs more studies to make it effective as a topical hyperpigmentation correcting ingredient. It's more of a C player right now. It's better studied and proven when ingested in pill form. Niacinamide is more proven, but even that's more of a B player. Kojic acid and arbutin, I would consider B players as well. So, this serum would be good as an addition to an already complete hyperpigmentation routine. This is something you would use in the morning (with sunscreen), while you use something more effective at night. Or, it would be good alone if you didn't have many dark spots in the first place. However, there are other products that incorporate these ingredients and MORE to give you the best results. One would be Remedy for Dark Spots by Dr. Muneeb Shah, which has retinol and mandelic acid (A ingredients), as well as tranexamic acid, niacinamide, kojic acid, and MORE. In fact, it has 9 super-stacked ingredients for dark spots, coming to about $38, which is pretty cheap for what it does. The remedy serum would be good at night, in conjunction with the Anai Rui serum in the morning. However, if you don't want an overly complex routine, the Remedy serum is a better bet.Overall, it's a good product; well formulated. I probably won't repurchase it because I am more into the Dr. Idriss hyperpigmentation serum for my morning routine right now. But, both are on similar levels in terms of ingredient lists. I would say it was somewhat of a coin-toss decision, but the Dr. Idriss serum has an amazing texture that gives a lovely glow, so it won me over. It's way more expensive though ($68). So, this is a good, cheap(er), B-player morning serum for hyperpigmentation. Would recommend!

I recently tried the ANAI RUI 5% Tranexamic Acid Serum, and I have to say, it’s become a staple in my skincare routine. This serum targets dark spots and uneven skin tone, and I was curious to see if it would live up to its promises.Texture and Application:The serum has a lightweight, slightly gel-like consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky residue. It layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen, making it easy to incorporate into both morning and evening routines.Key Ingredients:The combination of tranexamic acid, niacinamide, kojic acid, and arbutin is impressive. Tranexamic acid is known for its ability to reduce pigmentation and improve skin clarity, while niacinamide helps with overall skin texture and brightness. Kojic acid and arbutin are effective in fading dark spots, making this serum a powerhouse for anyone struggling with hyperpigmentation.Results:After a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed a significant reduction in the appearance of dark spots and a more even skin tone overall. My skin looked brighter, and the texture felt smoother. While results may vary, I found that this serum worked well without causing irritation, which can sometimes happen with stronger actives.Final Thoughts:The ANAI RUI 5% Tranexamic Acid Serum is a fantastic option for anyone looking to tackle uneven skin tone and dark spots. The blend of ingredients is well-formulated, and the results are promising. Plus, the price point is reasonable for the quality you receive. I would definitely recommend it to those looking to brighten their complexion and reduce pigmentation concerns.

Have been using this serum for a few months religiously twice a day and my dark spots are 80% faded. This definitely works if you put in the work and give it time. Haven't tried something this effective after trying dozens of other serums. It is moisturizing and not drying at all, and easy to incorporate into a skincare routine. Great price for the ingredients as well.

I have been trying this product for the past months and it works side by side with the hydroquinone cream my dermatologist recommended. The effect is not immediately noticeable, however with time it has improved the dark spots on my face.

Being vegan I appreciated that this product is vegan, fragrance-free, and paraben-free. It feels light, water-based, and a little tingly. Very refreshing. However unsure if it works.

Great serum! Sensitive skin friendly. Definitely lightened up my dark spots. Be consistent and patient and the results will show. Definitely recommend this serum!

No changes after using continously for one month, product texture gets thick as you go to end hard to layer up with other products might feel heavy or clogging your pores. Looks like hwrd to find a good tranxemic product thats pocket friendly
