This serum from DOMINAS combines 10% tranexamic acid (TXA) with 5% AHA and 5% niacinamide in a single formulation targeting discoloration, uneven tone, and textural irregularities. The high concentration of tranexamic acid works to address hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production, while the alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) at 5% promote gentle exfoliation and accelerate skin cell turnover. Niacinamide at 5% supports barrier function, helps refine pores, and contributes to a more uniform complexion.

The product is designed for individuals concerned with dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or general dullness. The inclusion of AHA makes this serum suitable for those already accustomed to exfoliating acids, though the 5% level remains moderate for regular use. It follows a Korean skincare approach that emphasizes multifunctional, step-based care. The lightweight liquid texture absorbs quickly without heavy residue, making it compatible with various skin types, including combination and oily skin. Those with sensitive skin should patch-test due to the presence of both AHA and active brightening agents.

Packaged in a 1.01 fl oz (30 ml) bottle, this serum is intended for evening use as part of a brightening or corrective routine. It does not promise immediate or dramatic changes but offers a consistent ingredient profile for gradual improvement of skin tone and texture. The formula avoids excessive fragrance and dye, aligning with a more straightforward, efficacy-focused approach. Priced accessibly, it provides a high-concentration active blend without unnecessary additives. As with any leave-on exfoliating product, daily sunscreen application is recommended to protect renewed skin.
