ANUA [EU] NIACINAMIDE 5 TXA BRIGHTENING PAD 210ml (60EA)

Unlike basic toner pads that focus solely on hydration or surface cleansing, the Anua Niacinamide 5% TXA Brightening Pad delivers two targeted brightening actives — niacinamide and tranexamic acid — in every single use. The dual-textured pad design also allows you to customise application: the soft side for gentle essence delivery and the textured side for mild exfoliation, making it a genuinely multi-functional step in your routine.

The formula is designed to be gentle, and 5% niacinamide is generally considered a well-tolerated concentration. However, skin sensitivity varies significantly between individuals. We always recommend performing a patch test on the inner forearm 24–48 hours before full facial application. If you are currently using prescription actives or have a diagnosed skin condition, consult your dermatologist before introducing any new skincare product.

Once daily use is recommended for most skin types. If your skin is accustomed to regular exfoliation and active ingredients, you may gradually explore twice-daily use — however, always listen to your skin and reduce frequency if any signs of sensitivity appear. If used in the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, as brightening actives can make the skin more susceptible to UV-induced discolouration.

The Niacinamide 5% + TXA Brightening Pad is formulated with a focus on skin comfort and effectiveness, excluding unnecessary irritants:


FRAGRANCE-FREE: This product is formulated without added synthetic fragrances. It is an ideal choice for those who are sensitive to scents or prefer a clean, neutral skincare experience. The formula focuses on the power of its active ingredients — such as Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid — to enhance your skin's natural radiance without the risk of fragrance-induced sensitivity.


ALCOHOL-FREE: This formula is free from harsh, drying alcohols (such as Ethanol or Isopropyl Alcohol). Instead, it is designed to provide a refreshing and hydrating feel, ensuring that your skin's moisture barrier remains supported while the pad works to smooth skin texture and promote a more even-looking skin tone.

Visible improvements in skin tone and the appearance of dark spots typically require consistent use over a period of 4–8 weeks. Niacinamide and tranexamic acid are both progressive actives that work gradually at a cellular level. For best results, use daily as part of a complete skincare routine that includes SPF protection, which is essential for preventing further pigmentation and protecting the skin while actives are working.

While niacinamide is generally considered safe for topical use, we are unable to make specific recommendations regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly advise consulting your healthcare provider or dermatologist before introducing any new skincare product during pregnancy or the breastfeeding period to ensure it is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
