Why It’s Worth It, According to Dermatologists
Allure notes that Dr. King recommends Lion Pose Unspotted 4X Acid Jelly Night Serum specifically for overnight use. She points to its “great combination of azelaic acid and tranexamic acid to decrease hyperpigmentation,” supported by glycolic and lactic acids that help lift pigment from the skin’s surface.
Despite the strong 15% concentration, the serum maintains a gentle feel thanks to Centella asiatica (cica), hyaluronic acid, and aloe vera extract, which help cushion skin and support comfort overnight.
The 4X Acid System, Explained
Lion Pose Unspotted 4X Acid Jelly Night Serum works by layering complementary actives in one streamlined formula:
-
Tranexamic Acid: Targets the look of dark spots and discoloration.
-
Azelaic Acid: Helps calm visible redness while improving uneven tone.
-
Glycolic Acid (AHA): Exfoliates to smooth texture and unclog pores.
-
Lactic Acid (AHA): Gently resurfaces to enhance brightness and softness.
Added antioxidants like glutathione further support a brighter, more even-looking complexion over time.

Editor’s Tip
Because of its exfoliating acid blend, this serum is especially effective for minimizing oil and unclogging pores, but it may feel potent for very sensitive skin types. Start a few nights per week and build up gradually, pairing with moisturizer and daily sunscreen for best results.
