ANAI RUI Starter 5% Tranexamic Acid Serum 1.05 FL.Oz | with Niacinamide, Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Dark Spot Care, PIH, for Uneven Skin Tone

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!

This is my second bottle of ANi-Rui Tranexamic Acid, and I’ve seen really great results. My skin looks brighter, more even, and healthier overall. It’s gentle, absorbs quickly, and works perfectly in my routine. I will definitely keep buying it. Highly recommend!

goes on well and really helps with brown spots

I’ve been using the ANAI RUI 5% Tranexamic Acid Serum for over a month now, and I really like it. I’ve noticed a visible reduction in dark spots and my skin tone looks more even and brighter. The serum feels lightweight and silky, and it doesn’t dry out or flake my skin like some other products. It’s also moisturizing and easy to incorporate into my daily skincare routine, and I feel it’s a good value for the price. Pros: Noticeable reduction in dark spots and hyperpigmentation Lightweight, silky texture Moisturizing without dryness or flaking Easy to use and fits well into any routine Good value for money Cons: Results may take a few weeks to appear Some may need to patch test (active ingredients) Overall, I’m really happy with this serum and plan to keep using it for continued improvement.

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.

I purchased this serum for my melasma, but I noticed that it worked on my acne scars. I have suffered from acne since I was 15 years old and I got several acne scars that I thought I will have them forever. I had 2 scars that were really deeper than the others. My face did not look smooth, however since I started using this serum I saw a reduction on my acne scars that now I barely notice most of them. Anai Rui 5% Tranexamic Acid serum has helped to have a better face skin. I wide recommend this product for the people who have acne scars. Finally, I have used it only on the acne scars by rubbing it softly. I love this product; it is easy to use and I have purchased it twice.

Good product worked how it was intended

Se absorbe en la piel rápidamente. Las manchas en la piel han disminuido la intensidad, pero no lo uso todos los días.

Good product! Reasonable price!

Got some compliments, can see a better texture after a month... I'll add it to my regular routine

Makes skin nice and soft. Too soon to tell if it helps with pigmentation.
