Known especially for its heartleaf line, Anua has also made waves with its Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% serum, which quickly became a go-to for those targeting dullness, dark spots, and uneven texture.

Now, there’s buzz around the renewed version of this much-loved serum—and with good reason. The updated packaging has people asking: What’s changed? Is it more effective? Worth switching to? Whether you’re a loyal fan of the original or totally new to this product, this review will break down what’s new, what still works, and whether it lives up to the hype.

What’s New? [Renewed Version Overview]

Say hello to the renewed Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% serum—a fresh update to a crowd favorite that already had a loyal fan base. While the formula itself remains unchanged, Anua has improved the packaging to make the product even more convenient and user-friendly. The new design is sleeker and more refined, making it easier to apply and perfect for display on your vanity.

Comparison Table: Old vs. Renewed Formula

Why These Changes Matter

Although the formula hasn’t changed, the renewed version is still a thoughtful update, thanks to the improved packaging. Here’s why this change makes a difference:

• Packaging Upgrade: The new dropper design ensures a cleaner, more precise application, and the leak-proof feature makes it more travel-friendly. It’s a simple change that enhances the overall user experience, without altering the core formula that fans know and love.

Personal Experience: A Noticeable Step Up

I was already a fan of the original Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4%, so I was curious—yet a little skeptical—about the renewed version. After all, if it’s not broken, why fix it, right? But after using it for a few weeks, I can honestly say… the updated packaging really does make a difference.

Before vs. After: Subtle, But Real Improvements

Before switching to the renewed formula, I found the original version effective but slightly drying when used daily, especially during colder months. After using the new packaging consistently for about three weeks, I noticed my skin felt more balanced and moisturized, even without changing the rest of my routine.

Brightening-wise, the results are still gradual (as expected), but my post-acne spots are fading more evenly, and my skin tone looks subtly more even and calm—especially around the cheeks and jawline.

Texture & Absorption

Since the formula hasn’t changed, the texture is exactly the same. It’s a lightweight, watery gel that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky finish. The major difference is that the improved packaging makes it easier to apply and more hygienic.

There was no tingling, redness, or irritation, which is fantastic for those with sensitive skin or anyone new to niacinamide and TXA combinations.

Under Sunscreen & Makeup? Zero Issues.

The serum sits perfectly under sunscreen and makeup. I tested it with both mineral and chemical SPF products, and there was no pilling, no greasiness, and no weird reactions. It even helped my makeup apply more smoothly, giving my skin a soft-focus finish before foundation.
