Dark spot care

Four percent tranexamic acid and four percent niacinamide in a bouncy, quick-absorbing gel.

haruharu wonder’s Centella 4% TXA Gel Serum goes after dark spots and uneven tone from several sides at once: tranexamic acid and niacinamide, an upcycled pear extract, two forms of vitamin C and a centella complex to keep skin calm. It sinks in fast and leaves a hydrated, non-sticky finish.
