Where Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum really shines is hydration efficacy, scoring 8.4 compared to innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN™ Firming & Smoothing Serum-Infused Mask's 7.7. With Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and Sodium Hyaluronate in its top ingredients, Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum delivers stronger moisture-binding capability.
Active Ingredient Strength is another area of separation. Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum scores 8.5 here versus 7.8 for innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN™ Firming & Smoothing Serum-Infused Mask. That difference comes down to how each formula is built — the ingredient list tells the story.
Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum brings Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, and Alpha-Arbutin as actives, while innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN™ Firming & Smoothing Serum-Infused Mask relies on Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Niacinamide, and Arginine. Both approaches have merit, but the positioning and supporting ingredients make the difference.
Both sit in the budget bracket, so value comes down to formulation quality. Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Serum gets the nod here with its 8.8 overall score — you're getting more for a similar outlay.
