"Axis Y is known for their dark spot correcting serum which has niacinamide and ceramides, panthenol, which feels very soothing on the skin. So if you are somebody struggling with dark spots where you feel whatever you use on the skin irritates the skin, then this brand might be worth looking into. They have serums, creams and moisturizers which work really well specifically for dark spots."

"It's labeled as a serum but comes in a tube with a gel cream texture, no scent, and it melts easily onto the skin without stickiness. The key ingredients are 5% niacinamide to even out skin tone and squalane for hydration, but I cannot see any effect, it's hydrating for only a few minutes and then disappears. Since it's already a gel cream, layering a moisturizer on top feels burdensome. Final rating, C."

I tried VIRAL TIKTOK KOREAN SKINCARE products… a brutal and honest review(Not Sponsored)

"This one is also really popular outside of Korea and on TikTok. It was pretty good, better than I expected, not amazing, not really bad. It says it's a Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, but I think they should erase that claim, I don't see the dark spots fading at all. They put in 5% niacinamide, which is supposed to make your skin overall brighter, but I didn't feel that way. The glow though, I totally agree with, whenever I apply it, it absorbs pretty quickly. I had my husband test it and he said it was okay because it's not sticky, it makes your overall skin condition pretty good. The manual says you can use it thicker as a sleeping mask, so I tried that and it worked well. If you have oily or combo skin you can use it on its own, and if you have dry skin I think it still works pretty good."

"I do like the Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum a bit more, the packaging is a pump which is what I prefer to a jar, especially since it's a more runny product. I honestly do think this is a great niacinamide serum, it features 5% niacinamide and sea buckthorn extract, one of my favorite ingredients, and since it's a leave-on product you're probably going to see more from these ingredients. I do think the 5% niacinamide level could help with post-inflammatory marks from acne, though probably not with age spots. It's a nice niacinamide serum, that's primarily what this is going to give you, and it's going to be hard to beat the price of this too. It's a little lower on my list, but it is one that I would consider repurchasing."

"Their dark spot serum is one of their best sellers. It is a 5% niacinamide product, and I think 5% niacinamide is a great level, it's better for evening your skin tone, not really fighting dark spots in the sense of brown spots on your skin, maybe this is some kind of translational confusion since what I think this might help with is more of a red or pink spot. Ultimately I do like the dark spot serum, I just don't like its name."
