The serum from Anua works specifically on pigmentation, uneven skin tone/texture - while this product from face formula is in gel form - not as thin as, for example, Anua's serum. The product works more to provide moisture, reduce redness, and minimize the visibility of pores.
Both contain niacinamide, but in slightly different doses and consistencies. Using them together is not dangerous in itself, but it means you get quite a bit of niacinamide in one routine.
Here it is important to remember that adding more products that contain the same ingredients does not necessarily lead to faster or greater effects, as it can often become "too much" product on the skin 🙌
A lot of niacinamide at once: Niacinamide is generally well tolerated, but with multiple products containing it, some may experience irritation or a "niacinamide reaction" (redness, tingling). If that happens, use one product at a time first before you combine them.
You can definitely try using the Anua serum during the day and use this product as a finishing moisturizer. If you need a bit more moisture now in winter, you can also use this product as a serum and apply a finishing moisturizer at the end 💓
📌 If your skin is sensitive or easily irritated, you can also use Face Formula only as a moisturizer (possibly after a mild serum) and use Anua serum every other day to acclimate your skin to the dose and texture.
❗ Always use sunscreen during the day, especially when working with ingredients like tranexamic acid and high levels of active substances.
Wishing you a nice day ahead 🤗
