Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum

SerumSerum

This may be a useful option if you specifically want a niacinamide serum that also lists tranexamic acid, arbutin, and betaine salicylate. That mix is a treatment, not a hydrating essence, and it is not interchangeable with COSRX The Niacinamide 15 Serum.

Where to find it

Editorial interpretation

These notes are judgments from recorded facts and routine context. They are not lab results or a guarantee of comfort.

Best for

  • readers focused on dark-spot and uneven-tone conversations
  • intermediate niacinamide users

Consider if

  • you already tolerate niacinamide and want a formula that also lists TXA and arbutin
  • you understand betaine salicylate is a BHA and will not stack another daily acid casually

May not suit

  • beginners who have never used niacinamide or a BHA
  • reactive skin that prefers a hydrating serum with no listed BHA

Serum. Brand-stated 10% niacinamide, 4% TXA, 2% arbutin. INCI used here also lists HA, centella, ceramides, betaine salicylate, and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid. Fragrance not confirmed.

How it fits into a routine

Routine role: Treatment. This is not the first product we would add to a brand-new routine. Settle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen first.

Introduce one treatment at a time. Sunscreen still matters more than a dark-spot serum. We do not attach retailer rankings.

  • Stated 10% niacinamide plus listed BHA is why this is a treatment page, not a glow-water page.
  • Tranexamic acid and arbutin stay in notes; we do not turn them into a fade guarantee.
  • 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is recorded as a derivative note — this is not filed as a dedicated vitamin C serum.
