ANUA BRIGHTENING PAD NIACINAMIDE 5 + TXA 60 PADS 210ML

Description

The ANUA Niacinamide 5 + TXA Brightening Pad (60 pads, 210ml) is a Korean skincare product featuring pre-soaked, round toner pads (often with a crescent or curved shape for better fit around areas like under-eyes). It is designed as an easy, daily-use brightening treatment to address dullness, uneven skin tone, dark spots, post-acne marks (PIE/PIH), and hyperpigmentation. Infused with a high concentration of 5% Niacinamide (50,000ppm) and Tranexamic Acid (TXA), combined with gentle exfoliants like PHA, it helps fade discoloration, improve clarity, and promote a more radiant, even complexion without heavy irritation. It’s suitable for most skin types, especially those dealing with tiredness, blemishes, or muted tone, and often praised for visible brightening effects over consistent use (e.g., increased gloss, clarity, and reduced under-eye shadows in studies/clinical claims).

How to Use

1. After cleansing your face, take one pad from the container (use clean hands or tweezers to avoid contamination).
2. Gently wipe or swipe the pad across your entire face, focusing on dull or uneven areas (like cheeks, under-eyes, or spots). The curved shape fits well under eyes or on cheekbones.
3. For targeted treatment, place the pad on problem areas (like dark spots or under-eyes) and leave it on for 10-20 minutes like a mini mask to allow deeper absorption.
4. Optionally, gently pat the remaining essence into the skin for better penetration.
5. Follow with the rest of your skincare routine (serum, moisturizer, sunscreen in the morning). Use once or twice daily (morning and/or evening), depending on skin tolerance. Start with once a day if your skin is sensitive. Store away from direct sunlight and close the lid tightly after use.
