Anua Niacinamide TXA Dark Spot Serum Mask

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-15

What is this product?

Anua's Niacinamide TXA Dark Spot Serum Mask is a 28mL single use sheet notified in Korea on two axes at once, brightening and wrinkle improvement, sold as a single and as a ten pack of the same sheet. Two concentrations are disclosed inside the statutory ingredient block itself, niacinamide at 5% and tranexamic acid at 1,000ppm, which is a fifty to one ratio between the two actives the product name gives equal billing. The 53 item essence is humectant led, with eight hyaluronic acid derivatives, and carries almost no lipid phase. The page has no marketing copy at all: its entire detail section is eleven images with no alt text, so every verifiable claim comes from the statutory notice, the ingredient parentheses or an option name. No notification number, no pH, no fragrance declaration and no romanised ingredient list appear on any surface read.

What makes it different?

Two disclosed concentrations printed inside the statutory block rather than in ad copy, which is rarer than the marketing suggests, together with a detail page that carries no marketing prose at all. The result is a product whose entire checkable record is its own regulatory notice.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 4 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 20 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. 18 of them hold up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.
