At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with dullness, stubborn dark spots, or uneven texture can be frustrating. This toner is designed to gently restore your skin's natural radiance and clarity without harshness.
- Best For: All skin types, especially those concerned with dullness, uneven skin tone, and post-acne marks (PIH).
- Key Benefits: Brightens complexion, fades hyperpigmentation, hydrates, and smooths skin texture.
- Feel & Finish: A lightweight, milky liquid that absorbs quickly, leaving a hydrated, dewy finish without stickiness.
- Scent: Subtle and sweet natural peach fragrance.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
- Anua Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner: Apply a few drops to your palms and pat gently onto your face and neck.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with sunscreen to protect your results during the day or a moisturiser to lock in hydration at night.
Mindful Note: If you already have a hydrating or brightening toner, finish it first before starting this one. Substitute, don't just add.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Anua Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+).
- Optional Additions: If you have persistent dark spots, you can layer a targeted serum (like one with Alpha Arbutin) after the toner. If your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, add a light moisturiser before it.
- Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds for the toner to absorb before applying your next step. Wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen) → 2) Anua Peach 77% Niacin Essence Toner → 3) Moisturiser.
- Optional Additions: You can use a separate chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA) 1-3 times per week, but apply it on nights you are not using this toner if you have very sensitive skin. If your skin is very dry, a sleeping pack can be used as the final step 2-3 times a week.
- Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM/PM:
- Amount: Pour a small amount (about the size of a large coin) into your palms.
- Apply to: Face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Method: Gently pat the toner into your skin until absorbed. For a more intensive treatment, you can soak cotton pads and place them on areas needing extra care for 5-10 minutes.
- Frequency: Use once or twice daily after cleansing. Start with once a day if you have very sensitive skin.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very oily T-zone? A single layer is sufficient. Your sunscreen may provide enough moisture for the day.
- Dry or in Air-Conditioning? Apply 2-3 layers (the "7-skin method" adapted) for deeper hydration before your moisturiser.
- Sensitive or reactive? Use PM-only for the first week to see how your skin tolerates it, then build up to twice daily.
- Under makeup? Its hydrating properties create a smooth canvas. Wait 1-2 minutes after application before applying primer or foundation to prevent pilling.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Patch test before first use.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This toner is gentle enough for daily use, forming the foundation of your hydrating and brightening routine.
- Daily: Use AM and PM after cleansing.
- AM/PM Cheat-Sheet: Niacinamide (in this toner) can be used AM & PM. Vitamin C serums are best in the AM under sunscreen. Retinoids should be used PM only. Strong acids (AHA/BHA) are best used PM 1-3 times a week.
- Mauritius Note: In the hot and humid summer, this toner might provide enough light hydration for oily skin types before sunscreen. In the cooler, drier winter, layer a moisturiser on top.
- Safety: If you use a separate high-strength acid exfoliant or a retinol product, consider alternating nights to minimize potential irritation. For example: Monday (This Toner + Retinol), Tuesday (This Toner + Soothing Moisturiser), Wednesday (This Toner + Exfoliant).
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels hydrated, plump, and soothed.
- 2-4 Weeks: Skin appears brighter and more radiant. Texture may feel smoother and look more refined.
- 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use and daily sun protection, you may notice a visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots and post-acne marks. Skin tone looks more even.
Individual results vary. Consistent use, especially with daily sunscreen, is key to achieving brightening results.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why use this toner, not DIY lemon juice for dark spots? Lemon juice is highly acidic and photosensitive, meaning it can cause chemical burns and worsen dark spots when your skin is exposed to the sun. This toner uses scientifically-proven brighteners like Niacinamide at a safe, effective concentration to gently fade discoloration without irritation.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, Ceramides, Retinoids (on alternate nights or if skin is accustomed), and most antioxidants. It's a great team player.
- Use Carefully: If you have extremely sensitive skin, be mindful when layering with high-concentration, low-pH Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) serums. Apply them at different times of day (e.g., Vitamin C in AM, this toner in PM) to be safest.
- Avoid On: Broken or irritated skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination: Excellent. Provides lightweight hydration and helps regulate sebum over time.
- Normal: Excellent. Maintains hydration and boosts natural radiance.
- Dry / Dehydrated: Good. Provides a solid hydrating base. Should be followed by a richer moisturiser, especially in drier weather or air-conditioned environments.
- Sensitive: Generally suitable, but patch testing is always recommended due to the presence of natural extracts and fragrance.

- Peach Melting Peel™ System: A proprietary blend including Betaine Salicylate (a gentle BHA) that helps to gently exfoliate dead skin cells for a smoother texture.
- Panthenol & Ceramide NP: Work together to moisturize, soothe, and reinforce the skin's protective barrier, preventing moisture loss.

- Intensity: 1/5 (A light, sweet peach scent that dissipates quickly).
- EU Allergens: None explicitly listed in the INCI, however "Parfum" can contain allergens. A patch test is always advised for sensitive skin.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
- Who Should Use: Individuals looking to address dullness, uneven tone, and dehydration.
- Who Should Use with Caution: Those with very sensitive skin or known allergies to fragrance or botanical extracts should perform a patch test.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Contains Betaine Salicylate. While the concentration is likely very low and generally considered safe, it is always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new products with active ingredients during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Patch Test Protocol: Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product.
- Teens: Suitable for teens focused on hydration and addressing post-acne marks. Best to stick to a simple routine: cleanser, this toner, moisturiser, and SPF.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture & Finish: A lightweight, slightly viscous, milky toner that absorbs without tackiness, leaving skin feeling plump and dewy.
- Scent: A fresh, natural-smelling peach scent.
- pH: The brand states it keeps skin pH balanced, suggesting a mildly acidic pH likely between 5.0 and 6.0.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains ferments and esters which may not be suitable for those with fungal acne. Individual responses vary, patch test advised.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
- Issue: Mild Tingling on Application: This may occur if your skin barrier is slightly compromised. Ensure you are not over-exfoliating. If it persists, reduce use to once daily.
- Issue: No Results on Dark Spots After 8 Weeks: Ensure you are applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every single day. Sun exposure will counteract the benefits of any brightening product.
- Issue: Product feels slightly sticky: You may be applying too much. A small amount is sufficient. Ensure you are patting it in until fully absorbed.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: Perfect as a lightweight hydrator for oily and combination skin. It provides moisture without feeling heavy or greasy in the heat. It may be sufficient as a sole hydrating step before sunscreen for very oily types.
- Drier Winter & Air-Conditioning: An excellent base layer for hydration. Dry skin types should follow up with a more substantial moisturiser to lock in the benefits and prevent moisture loss in drier air.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)

- No. The "brightening" effect refers to fading dark spots and evening out your skin tone for a more radiant complexion. It will not change your natural skin color.
- Can I use this with my retinol serum?

- Is the peach scent strong?
- No, most users describe it as a very light, natural, and pleasant peach scent that fades shortly after application.
- Can I use this if I have active acne?
- Yes, its hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe acne. It also contains a very gentle BHA to help with pores. For more active acne, you may want to pair it with a targeted spot treatment or a stronger BHA product.
