Review: Nice B player serum - 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!
