Tackle dullness, dehydration, and the first signs of aging with these innovative toner pads, designed to deliver a surge of moisture and revitalising nutrients. Formulated with cutting-edge PDRN and a multi-level Hyaluronic Acid complex, this is your daily step towards achieving the coveted luminous, 'glass skin' glow, perfectly suited for Mauritius' tropical climate.

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

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data (PDRN is fish-derived; no ethanol/denat. detected). / *Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.

If your skin feels dehydrated, looks dull, or is showing fine lines, these pads offer a targeted solution to restore vitality and glow.

• Who it's for: Ideal for those with dry, dehydrated, combination, or maturing skin seeking intense hydration and improved texture.
• What it does: Deeply hydrates with a 9-Hyaluronic Acid complex, supports skin repair and elasticity with salmon-derived PDRN, and gently smooths texture with PHA.
• Texture & Finish: Soft, dual-sided cotton pads soaked in a lightweight, watery essence. Absorbs quickly to leave a plump, dewy, and non-sticky finish.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Tone & Treat: Gently wipe one Anua PDRN Glow Pad across your face.
3. Protect (AM) / Moisturise (PM): Follow with your daily sunscreen in the morning or a moisturiser in the evening.

Mindful Tip: Already own a toner or essence? Finish it first to prevent waste before incorporating this new step.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Tone & Treat: Use one Anua PDRN Glow Pad to hydrate and prep the skin.
3. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30+.

Optional Additions: A targeted Vitamin C serum can be used before the pad for extra antioxidant protection. If your skin feels particularly dry, you can add a lightweight moisturiser before your sunscreen.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Use an oil cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. Tone & Treat: Swipe one Anua PDRN Glow Pad over the skin to replenish hydration and gently exfoliate.
3. Moisturiser: Seal in the benefits with a nourishing moisturiser suitable for your skin type.

Optional Additions: You can layer other treatment serums (like niacinamide or peptides) after the pad and before your moisturiser. On nights you use strong actives like retinol, this pad can serve as a gentle, hydrating buffer.

• Amount: Use one pad per application.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing, take one pad with the included tweezer.
  2. Use the embossed side to gently wipe across your entire face, avoiding the immediate eye and mouth area. This helps to smooth texture.
  3. Flip the pad and use the smooth side to pat the remaining essence into the skin for better absorption.
• Frequency: Safe for daily use, both morning and evening. Start with once a day if you have very sensitive skin.
• Pro-Tip (Mini Mask): For extra hydration on dry patches (like cheeks or forehead), place the smooth side of the pad on the area and leave it for 5-10 minutes like a mini sheet mask.

These pads are gentle enough for daily use and work well alongside stronger actives by providing hydration and soothing benefits.

Example PM Routine with Alternating Actives:

• Monday (Active Night): Cleanser → Retinol Serum → Moisturiser
• Tuesday (Recovery Night): Cleanser → Anua PDRN Glow Pad → Moisturiser
• Wednesday (Exfoliation Night): Cleanser → AHA/BHA Exfoliant → Moisturiser
• Thursday (Recovery Night): Cleanser → Anua PDRN Glow Pad → Moisturiser
• Friday (Active Night): Cleanser → Retinol Serum → Moisturiser
• Saturday (Deep Hydration): Cleanser → Anua PDRN Glow Pad → Sleeping Mask
• Sunday (Recovery Night): Cleanser → Anua PDRN Glow Pad → Moisturiser

Rule of Thumb: On nights you use potent exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, you can skip the pad or use it beforehand as a gentle hydrating prep step. On "recovery" nights, it's the perfect treatment to soothe and replenish the skin.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly refreshed, hydrated, and plump. Any tightness from cleansing is relieved.
• Within 2-4 weeks: With daily use, you may notice a more consistent dewy glow and smoother skin texture. Makeup may apply more evenly as dry patches are reduced.
• After 8+ weeks: Skin appears more resilient, radiant, and firm. Fine lines caused by dehydration are visibly softened, and overall skin health is improved.

Myth: "I need a harsh, gritty scrub to get smooth, glowing skin."

Fact: Abrasive physical scrubs can cause micro-tears in the skin, damage the protective barrier, and even worsen hyperpigmentation (dark spots), especially in melanin-rich skin. The Anua PDRN Glow Pad offers a safer, more effective alternative. It uses PHA (Gluconolactone), a very gentle chemical exfoliant that works on the surface to dissolve dead skin cells without harsh friction. This reveals a brighter, smoother complexion while simultaneously hydrating the skin, protecting your barrier for a true, healthy glow.

• ✅ Works Well With: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Peptides, Retinoids (used on alternate nights), and most hydrating ingredients. It serves as an excellent hydrating and soothing step to buffer stronger actives.
• ⚠️ Use with Care: While PHA is gentle, avoid layering these pads with multiple other high-concentration AHA/BHA products in the same routine to prevent potential over-exfoliation.
• ❌ Avoid On: Do not use on broken, wounded, or severely irritated skin.

• 💧 Dry & Dehydrated Skin: An excellent choice. The multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid provides deep, lasting hydration, while PHA gently buffs away flakes.
• ✨ Normal & Combination Skin: Perfect for maintaining balance and achieving a healthy glow. Hydrates dry areas without feeling heavy on oilier zones.
• 🌱 Oily Skin: A good option for lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration. Can help balance the skin so it produces less excess oil.
• ⏳ Mature Skin: Highly recommended. The combination of PDRN, Adenosine, and Hyaluronic Acid helps to plump fine lines, support skin elasticity, and restore a youthful radiance.
• 🌿 Sensitive Skin: Generally suitable due to the gentle nature of PHA and soothing ingredients. However, as it contains active ingredients, a patch test is always recommended.

• Dehydration and Dryness: Delivers multi-layer moisture to quench thirsty skin and relieve tightness.
• Dullness & Lack of Radiance: Gently exfoliates dead skin cells and provides intense hydration for a translucent, "glass skin" glow.
• Uneven Skin Texture: The embossed side of the pad and the PHA work together to smooth rough patches and refine the skin's surface.
• Fine Lines & Reduced Elasticity: PDRN, Adenosine, and Hyaluronic Acid help to plump the skin, softening the appearance of fine lines and supporting a firmer look.

• Functional Ingredients:
  • Niacinamide: For Brightening (미백 기능성).
  • Adenosine: For Wrinkle-Improvement (주름개선 기능성).
• Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic, not a medical treatment. Its "brightening" function refers to improving skin radiance and helping to fade dark spots for a more even tone; it does not bleach or change your natural skin colour. Results are not guaranteed and vary between individuals.

Key Active Ingredients Explained:

• Sodium DNA (PDRN): Polydeoxyribonucleotide derived from salmon supports the skin's natural repair processes, helping to improve elasticity, texture, and overall skin health.
• Hyaluronic Acid (9-Type Complex): A blend of nine different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid that provides intense, multi-level hydration from the skin's surface down to its deeper layers.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that brightens the complexion, helps control sebum, minimizes the appearance of pores, and strengthens the skin barrier.
• PHA (Gluconolactone): A gentle chemical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells, smooths texture, and enhances hydration without the irritation often associated with AHAs or BHAs.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a skin-restoring and soothing agent, proven to help decrease the appearance of wrinkles.
• Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, Fatty Acids: A trio of skin-identical lipids that work to repair and reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier, locking in moisture and protecting against irritants.

Full INCI List:

Water, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Methyl Gluceth-20, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glyceryl Glucoside, Gluconolactone, Sodium DNA, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Panthenol, Adenosine, Propanediol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, C12-14 Alkyl Pareth-12, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance: This product is formulated without added artificial fragrance. It has a very faint, neutral scent from its base ingredients.
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 standard EU allergens are listed in the formula.
• Potential Irritants: While formulated for gentleness, it contains active ingredients (PHA, Niacinamide). A patch test is always recommended for highly sensitive skin.

• For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Do not use on broken, damaged, or eczematous skin.
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if redness, swelling, or irritation occurs.
• Patch Testing: Before first use, apply the essence from one pad to a small, discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any reaction.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Contains Niacinamide and PHA which are generally considered safe. However, it is always best to consult your doctor before introducing new active skincare products during this time.

• Texture: The pads are saturated in a thin, watery, non-viscous essence.
• Scent Profile: Essentially unscented. Scent intensity: 0/5.
• Feel on Skin: Feels cooling and refreshing upon application. The essence absorbs quickly without any sticky, tacky, or oily residue.
• pH: While not officially published, the formula is expected to have a mildly acidic pH (around 4.5 - 5.5) to support skin health and the gentle exfoliating action of PHA.

• Issue: My skin feels a little tingly after use.
  Solution: A very mild, brief tingle can be normal for some when first using PHA. If it's comfortable and fades quickly, continue use. If it persists or is accompanied by redness, reduce frequency to every other day or discontinue.
• Issue: I'm not seeing dramatic results for my deep wrinkles.
  Solution: These pads are excellent for hydrating and plumping fine lines caused by dehydration. For deeper, structural wrinkles, consistent use of stronger actives like retinoids or professional treatments may be needed. Use these pads to support overall skin health and texture.
• Issue: The product seems to be "pilling" or rolling up under my makeup.
  Solution: This usually happens from applying too much product or not allowing layers to absorb. Use only one pad, ensure the essence is fully patted in, and wait at least 1-2 minutes before applying your next step (like sunscreen or primer).

This product is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, watery essence provides essential hydration without feeling heavy, sticky, or greasy. For very oily skin types, it can sometimes be used as a standalone hydrating step before sunscreen in the morning.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: The multi-layer hyaluronic acid helps combat the dehydrating effects of indoor air-conditioning and the less humid winter air. It creates a perfect hydrated base for a richer moisturiser.
• Post-Sun Care: The soothing and reparative properties of Panthenol and PDRN make these pads a great gentle step to calm and rehydrate skin after a day in the sun.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our Anua products are sourced directly from the brand or its authorised distributors in South Korea. You can verify your product by checking for the official packaging, which includes a mix of Korean and English text, a clear batch code, and an expiry date. Feel free to send us a photo of your product on WhatsApp (+230 5 778 2336) if you have any questions.

• PDRN (Sodium DNA): (Ingredient Rationale) PDRN has been studied in clinical settings for its ability to promote wound healing and tissue regeneration by providing building blocks for DNA repair and stimulating cell growth. This is why it's a popular ingredient in both clinical treatments and advanced skincare for improving skin health and elasticity.
• PHA (Gluconolactone): (Ingredient Rationale) PHAs are a second generation of hydroxy acids. They have larger molecules than AHAs, meaning they penetrate the skin more slowly and cause less irritation, making them ideal for gentle, daily exfoliation suitable for sensitive skin. They are also humectants, meaning they attract water and help hydrate the skin.
• Niacinamide & Adenosine: (Regulatory Basis) Both are officially recognised by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as functional ingredients for "Brightening" and "Wrinkle-Improvement," respectively, based on extensive efficacy data.

This product contains PDRN (Sodium DNA), which is derived from salmon. The brand sources this ingredient as a byproduct of the sustainable food industry, ensuring that no fish are harvested solely for cosmetic purposes. This approach utilises resources that would otherwise go to waste, aligning with principles of responsible sourcing.

• Total Pads: 60 pads per container.
• Once-Daily Use: The container will last approximately 60 days (2 months).
• Twice-Daily Use: The container will last approximately 30 days (1 month).

Consider reordering when you have about 1-2 weeks' worth of pads left to ensure you don't run out.

• Hygiene: A small plastic tweezer is included inside the lid, allowing you to pick up each pad hygienically without using your fingers.
• Travel: While the tub is secure, it may be bulky for travel. For short trips, you can place a few pads in a small, sealed zip-lock bag.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients.

1. Can I use these pads if I have acne-prone skin?

Yes. The formula is non-comedogenic and lightweight. The gentle PHA helps to keep pores clear, and Niacinamide helps regulate sebum, making it suitable for acne-prone skin. It's particularly good for those whose acne is worsened by a compromised, dehydrated skin barrier.

2. Is the essence sticky or heavy?

No, not at all. The essence has a very thin, watery consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling fresh and hydrated without any tackiness.

3. Can I use this with my retinol or AHA/BHA products?

Absolutely. These pads are a great complementary product. Use them in the morning when you use your retinoid at night. On nights you use a strong exfoliant, you can either skip the pad or use it as a hydrating step beforehand to buffer any potential irritation.

4. Is there any scent?

The product is formulated without artificial fragrances and is considered unscented. Any smell is just the natural aroma of the base ingredients, which is extremely faint and neutral.
