Anua Niacinamide 5 + TXA Brightening Toner Pads
Pre-soaked pads that brighten dull skin and soften the look of dark marks with regular use.
What it is
Round cotton pads soaked in a brightening essence, with two brightening ingredients plus peptides for hydration and a mild exfoliant to smooth texture. One side is smooth for wiping and the textured side gives light exfoliation. They target dullness, uneven tone and post-acne marks, and there are 60 pads in the tub for daily or few-times-a-week use.
What reviewers say
Reviewers like how fresh and simple they are, and many report brighter, smoother, more even skin with regular use, plus softer-looking dark marks over a couple of months. The soft, flexible pads are a favourite for a quick swipe. The honest notes: some find the pads not soaked enough and squeeze extra essence onto the skin, the results are gradual rather than instant, and very sensitive skin should go easy on the textured, exfoliating side at first.

FAQ
Can I use them every day?
Most people use the smooth side daily. Use the textured, exfoliating side less often, especially if your skin is sensitive.
Will they fade dark spots?
They help brighten and even tone and soften the look of marks over weeks, but daily sunscreen is essential for real progress.
Are the pads very wet?
They are lightly soaked rather than dripping, and some people press extra essence from the pad onto the skin.
The bottom line
A handy brightening and gently exfoliating step that suits most skin types and targets dullness and dark marks. Give it a few weeks, go easy on the textured side, and keep sunscreen in the routine.
