Madi Prettyman (@chooseyourglow) calls her skin “sensitive AF” in her TikTok bio, which is why she's always on the lookout for creams and serums that actually work well for her skin tone.
And she was very happy with her latest purchase.
“Okay, this cleared up my dark spots from acne in a week,” she began in the clamp.
Holding up Axis-Y's Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, she said the beauty line is a “very popular Korean skincare brand” that she had heard a lot about.
“I've always wanted to try this one because it's one of the best-selling brightening serums.”
The best part is that she didn't have to spend much on it either.
Although she bought it on TikTok Shop, it is available on Stylevana for just $11.
“If you've seen my other videos, you know that I like to stay between three and five percent niacinamide because more of it can potentially cause irritation.

“This is five percent niacinamide, so it's the perfect percentage.”
When reviewing the ingredients, she noted that you get additional benefits because it is also made from the plant-based squalene.
“You get that hydration and moisture too.”
She said all the ingredients are “gentle,” so you'll brighten your complexion without damaging the skin barrier.
“You don't use chemical exfoliants to get rid of that dead skin.”
She rubbed the serum around her lips, nose and cheeks.
“I really concentrate a lot on the areas where I get some dark spots, and it leaves your skin so glassy, which I also like.”
Viewers were excited to give it a try, with some supporting her claim.
“My scars on my chin are so bad! I have to try it,” one person wrote.
“I love this serum. I used it for two weeks and bought it again on sale,” another added.
