The AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is a lightweight Korean serum formulated with 5% niacinamide and plant-derived squalane to help fade dark spots and even out uneven skin tone. This vegan glow serum pairs a well-studied brightening active with antioxidant-rich botanicals to support a brighter, more radiant complexion while maintaining hydration, making it a daily-use favourite for dull and pigmentation-prone skin.

Why This Niacinamide Serum Works

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at 5% is a well-studied active that helps improve the look of uneven skin tone, dullness and post-acne marks while supporting a healthy skin barrier. Plant-derived squalane keeps skin hydrated and balances moisture, so the formula brightens without feeling heavy or greasy. Built on AXIS-Y's 6+1+1 approach, the serum combines targeted actives with antioxidant botanicals for balanced, daily care that suits warm, humid climates.

• 5% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): helps brighten and improve the look of uneven tone and dark spots

• Plant-Derived Squalane: lightweight hydration that helps retain moisture and balance oil

• Papaya (Carica Papaya) Extract: helps brighten and soften the look of marks and pigmentation

• Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) Extract: antioxidant support that helps reduce the look of spots

• Rice Bran and Allantoin: help smooth, soothe and condition for a healthy-looking glow

1. Cleanse and tone, then dispense 1 to 2 pumps of serum.

2. Apply a small amount to the entire face or to problem areas.

3. Pat gently until completely absorbed, then follow with moisturiser and daytime sunscreen.

For best results, use morning and night. At night it can also be layered as a light sleeping-mask step.

Ideal For

This vegan Korean serum is ideal for anyone dealing with dark spots, post-acne marks, dullness or uneven tone, and its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture suits the warm, humid UAE climate where heavier serums can feel uncomfortable. It is gentle enough for daily use across normal, oily, combination, dry and sensitive skin, and it layers well under makeup. Dark spots fade gradually with consistent use over several weeks rather than overnight, so pair it with daily sunscreen for the best tone-evening results. Patch test first if your skin is reactive or fragrance-sensitive.
