Tranexamic Acid TXA 4% & Niacinamide 10% Serum

This serum combines several well‑known brightening and discoloration‑targeting ingredients so I was hopeful it would help improve my skin's radiance and fade some spots. The thick, pinkish formula was easy to dispense and apply, though it did leave a tacky finish that took a while to absorb. Even though it’s unscented, I noticed a slight glue‑like smell. After using it consistently for about a month, I didn’t see any significant changes in my skin beyond normal hydration, so it wasn’t a standout for me personally. It may work better for others, but I wouldn't repurchase.

I have been using serum on my face for many years. I was excited to see this product come up so I had to give it a try. It feels soft and goes on smooth. It is lightweight and I have noticed some skin improvement which is really nice. The consistency seems to be the same.

My complexion has changed since I’ve gotten older. There are small red areas of discoloration that I have a hard time covering up. That’s why I was so excited to order this serum. I have been using this twice daily. I see a difference. The discolored areas are lighter. My overall skin tone is more even. It makes my face feel velvety soft. The serum is not sticky, it has no odor, and it’s not too thin. It absorbs quickly but does not dry out my skin. I put this on as a base before my moisturizer. I apply this to my face and neck. I also use this serum on the back of my hands and arms. It has made the sun damaged spots less noticeable. I like that it is cruelty free and contains no sulfates. This serum has interacted well with my other products. There is no pilling. It smooths out well. I’m really pleased with the overall results. Compared to similar products, I think the price is quite reasonable.

I’m excited to try this to hopefully help lighten some dark spots that I have.It only takes a little bit for the areas where you apply it so this bottle will last for quite some time. It doesn’t really smell like anything so that is a plus. It blends in quickly and after a few seconds isn’t sticky or visible at all.The current price is $15.78 and if this works at lightening dark spots then it is well worth the price. The expiration isn’t until August of 2028 so that is a big plus.

I love this serum because it is hydrating and packed with numerous hero ingredients for brightening my skin. These include 4% tranexamic acid, 10% niacinamide, plus alpha arbutin, panthenol, and phloretin, a natural phenol. The serum is pink and has a lightweight texture that absorbs into the skin and does not leave a greasy or sticky residue. I love that it is fragrance-free and uses phenoxyethanol instead of a paraben as the preservative. I have rosacea and very sensitive skin and this did not cause any negative skin reactions. After using this, my skin looks temporarily plumper and my skin also looks bright and clear after several weeks of consistent use. It is unclear where this product is manufactured and it has an expiration date of 3 years. This serum is a good value due to the inclusion of so many hero ingredients. I included a photo of the full ingredient list so that potential buyers can evaluate the ingredients themselves.

As we age the skin on our hands become so thin and no matter how much sunscreen I applied, I still ended up with age spots or dark spots as some refer to them. When I seen this product, I snatched it up in hopes it would help balance the skin tone on my hands as well as a few spots I have on my face. For starters, this is a real nice texture, not oily or greasy and no scent at all. When I applied it to my hands and face, it soaked in almost immediately. I did apply a second coat the first time thinking "wow, my skin must really be dry". But, that is just the way this product is. It absorbs quickly and it leaves your skin with a nice silky smooth finish. A little bit of this actually goes along way so this bottle will last you for months. It has an expiration date of 3 years which is nice if you want to switch out your products but feel confident that you can go back to this. It has only been a couple weeks of usage now but I do feel the age spots on my hands have definitely lightened up. I really haven't noticed much change with the one on my face though however I have been consistent with applying every morning but have missed the second application in the evening on several nights. I do believe if I used this consistently 2 times per day, the results would be more pronounced. I do think this is a very nice product and I would definitely purchase this again.

I’ve read about Tranexamic Acid and its value in fading dark spots but this is my first time trying it. I realize that it takes time to see results so I plan to update this review in a month after using as directed (twice daily).The serum is not oily but it glides onto my skin easily and absorbs quickly. There is no scent which I appreciate. The ingredients are clearly listed on both the outer packaging and on the bottle itself.So far so good but I’m reserving one star until I’ve had time to fully judge this serum.

Very nice texture and appreciate the unscented nature of this serum. I have noticed more and more discoloration on my hands. My dermatologist recommended tranexamic acid to help lighten the spots. This formulation goes on easily, dries quickly and is not sticky or tacky once dry. It leaves a velvety finish with just a hint of a dewy finish; not shiny but a little bit of glow.The product arrived in a sealed container and the bottle was filled to the drop. The dropper mechanism worked well.It is too early to know if it is working but the serum has made my hands look and feel more hydrated. I have been using it every day with no negative side effects. I apply the serum and then seal it in with a nice hand cream, currently Caudalie. The combo is making my hands look much healthier. I’m an avid gardener so my hands need all the help they can get and this is working so far. Highly recommend!

I’m not going to see results from this correcting serum for weeks (6-8 with consistent use) because skin cells need time to turn over. Based off of the ingredient list and the likely amounts, I’m confident I’ll see improvement in my skin. I’ve gotten to that age where past sun worshipping is coming to the surface. It especially shows on my hands and décolletage, areas that don’t get the daily age-fighting treatment that my face does.The serum is like a gel. It absorbs quickly and thoroughly and I apply a moisturizer on top to offset potential dryness. I have not experienced any irritation and don’t detect a scent.Overall, this will most likely be a regular dark spot serum for me. It combines 3 powerful brightening ingredients and phloretin, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals. That’s something my 51 year-old skin can appreciate.

This serum is good! It’s a nice a pink color and has no scent. And feels like a thick liquid. It goes on smoothly, and a little goes a long way.My skin drank it up as it dried quickly. It didn’t leave a sticky residue, it just left my skin feeling soft. And the next morning my face had such a healthy glow, and felt so soft. I’d forgotten I used a new product on my face, so I had to think about why it would look and feel so good.I can’t speak for the longterm effects yet, because I just started using it, but I have very high hopes for this. I had absolutely no negative side effects, only healthy skin. I look forward to continue using this in my routine.So far, I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for quick results to healthy skin. I will update this review if anything changes, but i suspect good results from this.

I've spent a lot of time in the sun without sunscreen on because I was wearing a hat and a shirt - a short-sleeve shirt - so my forearms look like they belong to someone twenty years older than me. It's like the freckles started getting larger and darker until they became splotches. It's actually been annoying me for a while.I tried a similar product before, mostly niacinamide-based, and the spots faded in color, although they didn't go away entirely. But I've done a bit of reading on tranexamic acid, which the other product contained, and I have higher hopes for this one.It seems like it's already making progress, although that's subjective and difficult to be positive about. It goes on easy, absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a residue feeling, and is odorless. Im already inclined to give it five stars. If I use up the bottle and don't feel like it's improved enough, I'll come back and edit this review, but for now, I'm pleased with the product.

I’ve been using this serum for a few weeks and really like how lightweight and gentle it feels on my skin. It absorbs quickly, layers well with other products, and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. My skin looks more even and brighter, and I haven’t experienced any irritation. A little goes a long way, and it fits easily into my daily routine. I’m happy with the results and would recommend it.

Talking about this serum has become a bit of a shared project in our household, mostly because my sister is the one putting it to the test. The first thing we both noticed was the texture. It’s on the thicker side and has a soft salmon tint, but it spreads easily and sinks in without any waiting around. That part is definitely appreciated. Another thing that stood out right away is the ingredient list. Seeing the percentages clearly listed feels refreshing, especially when so many products leave you guessing.She’s been using it for a little over a month now, and while the changes aren’t dramatic, there is a slight softening of her darker patches. It’s subtle, but enough to give her a bit of optimism that continued use might bring more noticeable results. She’s patient, so she’s willing to give it the full bottle before making any decisions.There is one drawback she keeps mentioning: it’s a bit drying. Not unmanageable, but enough that she needs to follow up with a moisturizer to keep her skin comfortable. That’s not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of if your skin leans dry to begin with.One thing that raised an eyebrow 😯 for both of us is the labeling. It states “Formulated in France,” which sounds nice, but it doesn’t actually tell us where it’s manufactured. That lack of clarity is something we both pay attention to. Transparency matters, especially with skincare, and knowing exactly where a product is made should be standard practice.For now, she’s continuing with it. The slight improvement she’s seen gives her enough reason to finish the bottle and see where things go. Whether we repurchase will depend entirely on what kind of progress shows up by the end. It has potential, and the formula looks promising, but we’re waiting for results that feel a bit more convincing before committing again. The brand name is: Seraphime, not clear where its made at 🤔.

I guess it does the job. It is very mild. No lifting or firming that I can recognize, but I can see that my face is brighter and less tired. My skin is hydrated because I use a lot of moisturizer; without it, the product would dry out your skin. I feel tightness while using the product.

I have very acne-prone, combination skin that is extremely oily in the t-zone. Because I get cystic acne, I have a lot of scarring and red spots that I was hoping the serum might be able to address. I'm also in my late 40s, so my skin is doing a lot of things that I don't like and I'm trying to pay more attention to my skin barrier. I used the serum for about 4 weeks, and haven't seen any noticeable difference. I don't love the serum, but I don't hate it either - however, my skin still feels tight and dry after using it and I need to apply either another serum or gel moisturizer over it in order to do my makeup. At that point, it's becoming too many steps for my very simple routine. I'm giving it three stars, because I did not see any benefits whatsoever while I was using it, and I think there are other products on the market that address multiple issues at once. If you were looking for a standalone spot treatment, and willing to try using it for more than a few weeks, it may work for you but I wouldn't be inclined to recommend it based on my experience.

I'm not seeing much of a difference in my melasma after 3 weeks. I know I need to continue for 10-12 weeks to give it the best trial run but it's disheartening thus far. I'm not seeing any benefit or skin irritation either way. Maybe it's a lower percentage than what my skin needs. It doesn't seem effective yet.

This serum has ingredients that are good for skin hydration and dullness. It's a bit thick and does leave the skin feeling slightly tacky. It takes a bit for it to really fully absorb since it is a bit thicker than other serums I've used. It doesn't really have a scent to it, which is always a plus. It states it is formulated in France but no mention of where it is actually manufactured. Overall it's a good serum, decently priced at $22, and does have the ingredients that would work towards the stated description of hydration and discoloration.

This Seraphime serum combines 10% niacinamide and 4% tranexamic acid, which are great for brightening, reducing discoloration, and improving skin texture. Niacinamide can also help reduce the appearance of pore size. It also contains around 0.5% Alpha Arbutin, which works alongside the other actives to fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Panthenol (ProVitamin B5) adds extra hydration and helps soothe and repair the skin barrier, which makes the formula gentle and nourishing.Just two drops cover the face and neck, so the 30mL bottle should last a while. The clear frosted glass bottle looks elegant but might not be the best choice since these ingredients can degrade with light exposure—an opaque or tinted bottle would offer better protection. The pink tint is noticeable, but it’s unclear if that’s a good or necessary feature. No scent, which is a plus for sensitive skin.It’s free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, making it a cleaner option. I’ve only been using it for two weeks, so no real results yet. taking a pre-photo might be a smart idea to track progress since these ingredients require 8 weeks or so of consistent use.
