AXIS-Y Niacinamide 5% Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum 50ml

AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum 50ml is a lightweight Korean treatment serum built on 5% niacinamide with plant-derived squalane and six botanical extracts. It targets dark spots, post-acne marks and uneven tone while keeping the skin hydrated and the barrier intact. Non-sticky and fast-absorbing, it suits oily, combination, sensitive and acne-prone skin.

What does the Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum do?

• Helps fade dark spots, sun spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with 5% niacinamide.
• Evens out overall tone and refines the look of pores.
• Regulates excess sebum, which is why it suits oily skin despite being a treatment serum.
• Hydrates and supports the barrier with plant-derived squalane rather than heavy oils.
• Absorbs in seconds with no stickiness, so it layers cleanly under sunscreen and makeup.

What's inside?

• Niacinamide 5% — the hero active. Brightens, refines pores, regulates sebum and improves texture.
• Plant-derived squalane — lightweight hydration that strengthens the barrier without clogging.
• Calendula, papaya and sea buckthorn extracts — calm redness and support a natural glow.
• Rice bran extract — helps brighten and even skin tone.
• Sodium hyaluronate — holds moisture through the day.

Vegan and cruelty-free. Free from artificial colourants, mineral oil, fragrance and parabens. Formulated with EWG Green Grade ingredients. Made in South Korea.

Is this right for my skin?

Best for dark spots, post-acne marks, sun spots and dull or blotchy skin. Suits oily, combination, sensitive and acne-prone skin — it is one of the few brightening serums gentle enough for reactive skin.

Less useful if your main concern is fine lines or firmness rather than tone. Niacinamide at 5% is well tolerated by most people, but patch test on the jawline for two days if you have reacted to it before.

How do I use it?

1. Cleanse and apply your toner.
2. Apply a small amount to the whole face, or directly to areas of pigmentation.
3. Pat in gently and let it absorb fully before the next step.
4. Follow with moisturiser.
5. In the morning, always finish with SPF50+. Pigmentation returns without daily sun protection, no matter how good the serum is.

Use morning and night. Allow six to eight weeks of consistent use before judging results — niacinamide works on pigment production rather than bleaching what is already there.

Pairs well with

• AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen 50ml — the protection step that makes the serum work.
• AXIS-Y TXA 2.5% Intensive Brightening Cream 50ml — the moisturiser step, adding tranexamic acid.
• Skin Brightening collection — more options for dark spots and uneven tone.
