Karenel Tranexamic Acid 5 Niacinamide 10 Dark Spot Glow Serum 30ml

High-Potency Brightening with 5% Tranexamic Acid and 10% Niacinamide

A high-potency brightening serum designed to intensively target uneven skin tone caused by melasma, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. Tranexamic Acid 5% helps inhibit melanin cell activity, while Niacinamide 10% works to block melanin transfer and prevent pigmentation. Enhanced with 100 PPM PDRN, this serum addresses skin regeneration and helps fade the appearance of marks—all in one bottle.

16.62% Improvement in Skin Tone After 4 Weeks of Use

A 4-week skin brightening efficacy study conducted on 23 participants showed meaningful results.

• Skin tone improvement: 16.62%
• Melanin reduction: 2.36%
• Hyperpigmentation improvement: 14.09%

The highly concentrated texture absorbs seamlessly without any sticky residue. After cleansing morning and evening, dispense an appropriate amount during the serum step, smooth gently along the skin's texture, and pat lightly to aid absorption.

Formulated to Deliver Both Brightening and Hydration

Beyond the core brightening actives, this serum is enriched with supporting ingredients that elevate overall skin condition.

• 8-Layer Hyaluronic Acid (deep hydration): Delivers moisture from within for lasting hydration
• Panthenol (soothing repair): Protects a sensitized skin barrier
• Ceramide (barrier reinforcement): Forms a moisture-locking layer to support skin resilience
• Centella Asiatica Extract (calming): Helps reduce redness in irritated skin

Recommended for those concerned with melasma and dark spots, those troubled by lingering marks from breakouts, and anyone looking to brighten and even out a dull, uneven complexion.

Apply after toner, before moisturizer

After cleansing and toning to prep your skin, use this serum before your cream or moisturizer. With 5% tranexamic acid and 10% niacinamide, it's a highly concentrated formula — applying it on freshly toned, hydrated skin helps it absorb more effectively than on bare skin.

Suitable for morning and evening use

Both niacinamide and tranexamic acid are gentle enough for day and night routines. If using in the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. UV protection is essential to maintain the benefits of brightening actives.

Dispense a small amount and press in gently

Use the dropper to dispense 2–3 drops onto the back of your hand, then spread evenly across your face. For areas with dark spots or hyperpigmentation, apply a second layer. The lightweight, non-sticky texture absorbs quickly when you gently press it in with your palms.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• Targeting dark spots and hyperpigmentation: To maximize brightening results, separate your vitamin C and niacinamide by time of day — use this serum in the morning and vitamin C in the evening.
• If dryness is a concern: Follow up with a hyaluronic acid-rich cream to lock in moisture.
• For post-breakout marks: After a calming toner, apply this serum and finish with a centella-infused cream to help reduce the appearance of redness.

Important usage notes

This formula contains a high concentration of niacinamide (10%), so if you have sensitive skin, start with a small amount to test tolerance. Avoid using retinol products at the same time, as layering them may cause irritation. Use within 12 months of opening and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. If redness or itching occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
