Anua Niacinamide 5% TXA Brightening Pad (Fades Dark Spots & Evens Tone in Mauritius' Climate)

Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* • Vegan-Friendly* • Cruelty-Free* • 100% Authentic Guarantee

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data (no ethanol/denat. alcohol or haram animal-derived ingredients detected). / *Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body like PETA or Leaping Bunny.

Struggling with stubborn dark spots, post-acne marks (PIH), or an uneven skin tone that feels more pronounced in the Mauritian sun? You're not alone. These toner pads offer a gentle yet powerful solution, combining two of the most effective ingredients for hyperpigmentation into one convenient, daily step.

Formulated with a potent blend of 5% Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid (TXA), this duo works to interrupt pigment production, fade existing spots, and prevent new ones from forming. Unlike harsh scrubs that can irritate and worsen dark marks on melanin-rich skin, these soft pads provide mild chemical exfoliation while delivering brightening actives. The result is a clearer, more luminous complexion that looks and feels healthy.

At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
  • Who It's For: Anyone dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne, sun spots, melasma, or a generally uneven, dull skin tone. Especially suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin types.
  • What It Does: Functions as a daily exfoliating and brightening toner. It helps lift away dead skin cells, decongest pores, and deliver a concentrated dose of Niacinamide and TXA to target discoloration at its source.
  • Texture & Scent: A thin, watery essence soaked into a soft, textured cotton pad. It is fragrance-free with no discernible scent.
  • Expected Results: Skin feels smoother and more hydrated immediately. With consistent use, expect a brighter overall complexion within 2-4 weeks and a visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots after 8+ weeks.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)

Integrate these pads as your toner/treatment step. Start with evenings only to build tolerance.

  1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
  2. Tone & Treat (This Product): Take one pad and gently wipe it across your entire face, avoiding the immediate eye and lip areas. You can pat in any remaining essence.
  3. Protect (AM) or Moisturise (PM): In the morning, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+). In the evening, follow with your favourite moisturiser.

Note: Already have an exfoliating toner? Use these pads on alternate nights to avoid over-exfoliating. Finish what you have first before adding something new.

PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)

Using brightening actives at night allows them to work with your skin's natural repair cycle without interference from UV light. Here is a simple but effective PM routine.

  • Step 1: Double Cleanse (Essential if wearing makeup/sunscreen)
    Start with an oil-based cleanser like the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil to dissolve sunscreen and impurities, then follow with a water-based foam cleanser.
  • Step 2: Tone & Treat (This Product)
    After cleansing, take one Anua Niacinamide 5% TXA Brightening Pad and gently swipe it across your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
  • Step 3: Hydrate (Optional)
    If your skin feels like it needs more hydration, you can apply a calming serum like the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule.
  • Step 4: Moisturise
    Finish with a moisturiser to lock in the treatment and support your skin barrier. A barrier-focused cream like the Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream is an excellent choice.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
  • Amount: Use one pad per application for the entire face and neck.
  • Frequency: Start by using it 2-3 times per week at night. If your skin responds well after two weeks, you can gradually increase to once daily (either AM or PM).
  • Method: After cleansing on dry skin, use the embossed side of the pad to gently wipe across areas with texture or concern (like T-zone), then use the smooth side to wipe over the rest of the face. Gently pat any remaining essence into the skin until absorbed.
  • Important: If you use the pads in the morning, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher is non-negotiable, as the ingredients can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)

To get the best results without irritation, avoid using too many strong actives on the same night. Here’s an example schedule if you also use other exfoliants or retinoids.

Example PM Schedule:

  • Monday: Anua Brightening Pads
  • Tuesday: Hydration & Barrier Repair (use a gentle, soothing routine with no strong actives)
  • Wednesday: Retinoid (if you use one)
  • Thursday: Hydration & Barrier Repair
  • Friday: Anua Brightening Pads
  • Saturday: Hydration & Barrier Repair
  • Sunday: Retinoid (if you use one) or a soothing mask

Key Rule: Do not use these pads on the same night as other strong exfoliants (like glycolic acid) or retinoids to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation.

What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)

Fading hyperpigmentation is a marathon, not a sprint. Consistency and patience are key.

  • Immediately: Skin feels smoother, refreshed, and hydrated from the toner base.
  • Within 2-4 Weeks: You may notice an improvement in overall skin brightness and a more radiant glow. Skin texture can feel more refined.
  • After 8-12 Weeks: With consistent use (and daily sunscreen!), you should see a visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots and post-acne marks. The overall skin tone will appear more even and uniform.

Individual results vary. Efficacy depends on the depth and age of the pigmentation.

Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)

Myth: "You need to scrub dark spots away with harsh physical exfoliants."

Reality: This is one of the most common mistakes, especially for melanin-rich skin. Aggressively scrubbing dark spots can cause irritation and inflammation, which signals your skin to produce even *more* pigment, making the spots darker and more stubborn (a cycle called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

Why These Pads are a Better Choice: These pads use gentle chemical exfoliation alongside brightening actives (Niacinamide, TXA). This approach lifts away pigmented dead skin cells from the surface without causing the friction and inflammation that physical scrubs can. It's a safer, more effective, and scientifically-backed way to achieve an even skin tone.

Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)

These pads are designed to fit into most routines, but pairing them smartly will maximize results and minimize irritation.

  • Works Well With:
    • Hydrating Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan are excellent to use before or after these pads to boost hydration and keep the skin barrier happy.
    • Soothing Ingredients: Centella Asiatica (Cica), Mugwort, and Heartleaf can help calm any potential sensitivity from the active ingredients.
    • Sunscreen: An absolute must. Using these pads without daily SPF is counterproductive.
  • ⚠️ Use With Caution:
    • Other Exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs): Avoid using them in the same routine. Alternate nights to prevent over-exfoliation (e.g., Anua pads on Monday, Glycolic Acid on Wednesday).
    • Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): Do not use on the same night. A common practice is to alternate (e.g., Anua pads one night, Retinoid the next).
    • High-Concentration Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): It's safest to separate them. Use Vitamin C in your AM routine and these pads in your PM routine.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
  • 🟢 Ideal For:
    • Oily & Combination Skin: The lightweight, watery formula provides brightening and gentle exfoliation without adding greasiness. Niacinamide also helps regulate sebum.
    • Normal Skin: An excellent choice to maintain an even tone and prevent future dark spots.
  • 🟡 Use With Care:
    • Dry Skin: These pads can be used, but it's essential to follow up with very hydrating and barrier-supportive products (like a ceramide cream) to counteract any potential dryness. Start with only 1-2 times per week.
    • Sensitive Skin: While the formula aims to be gentle, the combination of actives can be stimulating. A patch test is mandatory. Start with once a week and monitor your skin's reaction closely.
  • 🔴 Not Recommended For:
    • Anyone with a known allergy to Niacinamide or Tranexamic Acid.
    • Skin with a severely compromised barrier (red, stinging, peeling). Focus on barrier repair first before introducing actives.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)

These pads are specifically formulated to address various forms of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

  • Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): The dark marks left behind after acne, pimples, or other skin inflammation. Niacinamide and TXA are both clinically recognized for their effectiveness in fading these marks.
  • Sun Spots & Freckles: Helps to lighten dark spots caused by sun exposure by inhibiting melanin production.
  • Dull Skin Tone: The gentle exfoliating action helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, more radiant complexion underneath.
  • Uneven Skin Tone: Helps to create a more uniform and even complexion by reducing blotchiness and areas of discoloration.
  • Mild Melasma: Tranexamic Acid is known to be particularly effective in managing melasma, making these pads a good supporting product in a comprehensive anti-melasma routine.
Product Identity & Provenance (official details)
  • Official Name: Anua Niacinamide 5% TXA Brightening Pad
  • Brand: Anua (아누아)
  • Origin: Made in South Korea.

Regulatory & Claims Basis (K-Beauty Truth Box) (official classification)
  • MFDS Classification: This product qualifies as a Functional Cosmetic under the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) regulations.
  • Functional Ingredient: Niacinamide is an MFDS-approved ingredient for the function of "Brightening" (미백). This means the formula meets the required concentration and standards to make an official claim for improving skin tone.
  • Important Clarification: In the context of K-beauty, "Brightening" refers to improving skin radiance, fading dark spots (like sun spots or post-acne marks), and achieving a more even, luminous complexion. It does not mean skin bleaching or changing your natural skin colour.
  • Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic, not a medical drug. It is intended to improve the appearance of the skin. For persistent or severe skin conditions, please consult a dermatologist.
Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)

Understanding the formula helps you make the best choice for your skin. Here’s a breakdown of the key players and the full ingredient list.

Key Actives Explained:

  • Niacinamide (5%): A powerhouse ingredient that works by inhibiting the transfer of melanin (pigment) to your skin's surface, effectively fading dark spots and preventing new ones. It also helps regulate oil production, minimize the appearance of pores, and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Tranexamic Acid (TXA): A synthetic amino acid derivative highly effective at targeting hyperpigmentation. It works by blocking the pathways that lead to melanin production, particularly those triggered by UV light, making it excellent for sun spots and melasma.
  • Vitamin C Derivatives (Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside): Powerful antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental damage, further inhibit melanin production, and boost overall radiance.
  • Glutathione: A master antioxidant that helps to brighten the complexion and reduce oxidative stress, contributing to a more even and luminous skin tone.
  • Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that helps to reinforce the skin's natural barrier, locking in moisture and protecting it from external irritants.

Full INCI List:

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Niacinamide (5%), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Tranexamic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Tocopherol, Glutathione, Sodium Hyaluronate, Madecassoside, Centella Asiatica Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ceramide NP, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Allantoin, Panthenol, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, C12-14 Alketh-12, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
  • Fragrance: This product is fragrance-free. It contains no synthetic fragrances or volatile essential oils, making it a suitable choice for those with sensitive skin or a preference for unscented products.
  • Scent Profile: Users report no discernible scent.
  • EU Allergens: The formula is free from the common allergens that are required to be listed by EU regulations.
  • Alcohol: This product is formulated without drying alcohols like ethanol or denatured alcohol. It contains fatty alcohols (like C12-14 Alketh-12) which are non-irritating emulsifiers.

Even with a gentle formula, we always recommend a patch test before first use. See our "Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol" section for guidance.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)

Your safety is our priority. Please follow these guidelines for the best experience.

General Safety Warnings:

  • For external use only.
  • Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Do not use on broken, wounded, or irritated skin.
  • Discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist if you experience any signs of irritation, such as redness, swelling, itching, or a burning sensation.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

How to Perform a Patch Test (Highly Recommended):

  1. Apply a small amount of the essence from one pad to a clean, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner wrist.
  2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation.
  3. If no reaction occurs, repeat the test on a small area of your face (e.g., along the jawline) and wait another 24 hours.
  4. If your skin remains calm, the product is likely safe for you to use. If you experience any irritation, do not use the product.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: While Niacinamide and TXA are generally considered safe for topical use, we recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new active ingredients during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
  • Texture: A thin, watery liquid (essence) fully saturated into dual-sided cotton pads. The pads have one embossed side for gentle exfoliation and one smooth side for delivering the essence.
  • Feel on Skin: The essence feels lightweight and refreshing upon application. It absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky, tacky, or heavy residue.
  • Finish: Leaves the skin feeling hydrated and smooth with a subtle, healthy-looking glow. It does not feel oily or greasy.
  • pH Level: While not officially disclosed by the brand, the formulation is expected to have a mildly acidic pH (around 5.0 - 6.0) to be gentle on the skin barrier.
  • Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Safety: Based on an ingredient review, this formula appears to be fungal acne-safe. It does not contain common triggers like fatty acids, esters, or polysorbates. However, individual responses can vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
  • Issue: My skin feels a bit tingly after use.
    Solution: A mild, brief tingling can be normal when introducing new active ingredients. This should subside after a few minutes. If it's uncomfortable or persists, reduce usage to 1-2 times per week and ensure you are applying it to completely dry skin. Also, try layering a simple hydrating toner before the pad to provide a buffer.
  • Issue: My skin feels drier than usual.
    Solution: The exfoliating nature of the pads can sometimes increase dryness, especially in the beginning. Make sure you are following up with a rich, barrier-supporting moisturiser. You can also try the "sandwich" method: apply a layer of hydrating serum, then the pad, then your moisturiser.
  • Issue: I'm not seeing results after a few weeks.
    Solution: Fading hyperpigmentation takes time and consistency. Ensure you are using the pads regularly as tolerated and, most importantly, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day. Sun exposure will create new pigment and undo any progress you've made. Re-evaluate after at least 8 weeks of consistent use.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)

This product's lightweight format is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

  • During Humid Summers: The watery essence absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or sticky on the skin, making it comfortable for daily use. For those with very oily skin, the hydration from this pad might be enough before applying sunscreen in the morning, allowing you to skip a separate moisturiser.
  • During Drier Winters / In Air-Conditioning: The pads provide a great base layer of brightening and hydration. In drier conditions, be sure to follow up with a more substantial moisturiser to lock in the essence and prevent moisture loss in low-humidity environments like air-conditioned offices.
  • Sun Exposure: Given Mauritius' high UV index year-round, pairing these pads with a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen is absolutely essential to protect your skin and see results. The pads help fade old sun damage while your sunscreen prevents new damage.

At Adilsons, we are committed to your skin's health and safety. That's why we guarantee that every product we sell is 100% authentic.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)

Our recommendations are based on scientific evidence for the key ingredients in this formula.

  • Ingredient Rationale (Niacinamide): Independent studies have shown that topical Niacinamide at concentrations of 4-5% can significantly reduce hyperpigmentation. Its primary mechanism is inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes (pigment packets) from the melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) to the surface skin cells (keratinocytes). By blocking this transfer, it effectively prevents dark spots from becoming visible.
  • Ingredient Rationale (Tranexamic Acid): Originally used to control bleeding, Tranexamic Acid (TXA) was found to have powerful skin-brightening effects. Scientific research has confirmed that topical TXA helps fade discoloration, particularly melasma and sun-induced spots, by inhibiting UV-induced plasmin activity in the skin, which in turn reduces the stimulation of melanin-producing cells.
  • Brand Claim—No Public Dataset: While the individual ingredients are well-studied, Anua has not published specific clinical trial data for this exact product in a peer-reviewed journal. The claims are based on the established efficacy of its key active ingredients at their stated concentrations.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)

This tub contains 60 pads, offering excellent value and longevity.

  • If used 3 times per week: The tub will last approximately 20 weeks, or about 5 months.
  • If used once daily: The tub will last approximately 60 days, or about 2 months.

This makes it a cost-effective treatment for consistently managing hyperpigmentation over the long term.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)

This product is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are dark spots and uneven tone, and you enjoy the convenience of a toner pad. However, your skin is unique, and other options might be a better fit depending on your specific needs.

  • For a Gentler Approach: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Quick Calming Pad
    Choose this if... your skin is very sensitive and your main concern is redness and irritation, with only mild discoloration.
    Why: It prioritizes soothing with Centella Asiatica over active brightening, making it safer for highly reactive skin.
  • For Stronger Exfoliation: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
    Choose this if... your primary concern is rough texture and dullness, and your skin is resilient enough to handle a stronger AHA.
    Why: This liquid toner offers more potent resurfacing for textural issues, but lacks the specific anti-pigment ingredients (like TXA) of the Anua pads.
  • For a Serum Format: Anua Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum
    Choose this if... you prefer a concentrated serum to spot treat specific areas or want a higher potency of the key actives.
    Why: A serum format allows for more targeted application and delivers a more potent dose of Niacinamide (10%) and TXA (4%) than the pads, but without the convenient exfoliating step.

Mindful Use Reminder: If you already have a comparable brightening product or exfoliating toner at home, we encourage you to finish it first to avoid waste and give your current routine a fair chance to deliver results.

Packaging, Sustainability & Practical Details (bottle, storage, and travel)
  • Packaging: The product comes in a plastic (PP) tub with a screw-on lid, containing 60 pre-soaked toner pads (210ml of essence). A small plastic tweezer is typically included for hygienic removal of the pads.
  • Sustainability: The plastic tub is recyclable where facilities exist. Please rinse it out before placing it in your recycling bin.
  • Storage: To maintain the freshness and prevent the pads from drying out, always screw the lid on tightly after each use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration is necessary.
  • Travel: The tub is secure but can be bulky. For short trips, you can place a few pads in a small, sealed zip-lock bag to save space.
Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)

Here’s a snapshot of what real, independent users are saying. (Note: These are aggregated sentiments and anecdotes, not clinical results.)

  • On Effectiveness for PIH (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2024-05): Many users compare these pads to Anua's famous 10% Niacinamide + 4% TXA serum, noting the pads are a gentler, daily-use version. One user mentioned, "My post-acne marks definitely fade faster when I use these. It's less intense than the serum, which is perfect for my sensitive skin."
  • On Texture & Feel (YesStyle Review, 2024-03): A common point of praise is the non-sticky finish. A reviewer wrote, "Love these for my combo skin. They give a nice bit of hydration without feeling heavy, and my other skincare layers on top perfectly. No pilling at all."
  • A Fair Caveat (Amazon Customer Review, 2024-04): While most feedback is positive, a few users noted that daily use was too much for their skin. "It's a great product, but I had to cut back to 3 times a week," one person advised. "Using it every day made my cheeks feel a bit dry." This highlights the importance of starting slow and adjusting to your skin's tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
Can I use these pads every day?
You can, but it's best to start slow (2-3 times a week) and see how your skin tolerates it. If you experience no dryness or irritation after a couple of weeks, feel free to increase to daily use. Always listen to your skin.
Is this product suitable for fungal acne?
Based on its ingredient list, the formula appears to be fungal acne-safe as it avoids common triggers. However, everyone's skin is different, so we always recommend a patch test.
Can I use this with my retinol product?
It is not recommended to use them in the same routine. To be safe, use them on alternate nights. For example, use the Anua pads on Monday and your retinol on Tuesday.
Will this make my skin peel?
These pads provide very gentle chemical exfoliation and are not designed to cause visible peeling. However, if your skin is very dry or sensitive, you might experience some minor flakiness initially. If this happens, reduce frequency and apply a richer moisturiser.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
  • Best For: Individuals looking for a convenient, gentle, and effective daily treatment to fade dark spots and even out their skin tone.
  • Key Benefits: Combines two proven brightening ingredients (5% Niacinamide and TXA) in an easy-to-use pad format. Fragrance-free and suitable for many skin types.
  • Keep in Mind: May be too stimulating for extremely sensitive skin if used daily. Must be used with consistent, daily sun protection to see and maintain results.
