No more dark spots
I've tried a lot of toning and brightening pads over the years, but the Anua Niacinamide 5% + TXA Brightening Pad really stood out to me from the first week I used it. I didn't expect it to become such a staple in my routine, but now it's one of those products I panic about running out of. Each pad ...

Brightening Pads
In this jar, there are thin small cloth(?) pads that are half moon shape and about twice the size of an eye pad, as well as a plastic tweezer to help pick them up with. The pads can be used to swipe the serum on the skin , wear two under the eyes (on either side) , or just spot wear on a problem are...

Works wonder for under eye
I naturally have dark circles and my under-eye area is usually dry, but the ANUA Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pads work perfectly to target that area. They're super easy to use and give an instant boost of hydration, leaving my skin feeling soft and refreshed. After using them for the first time they maje my under eyes look brighter, smoother, and more awake. They also help my makeup go on better without settling into dry patches. I always struggle with concealer application due to my under eye being dry. I love how quick and convenient they are, I love the twisters that it includes it make it easier to get the patches. These pads have definitely become a go to in my routine whenever I want to moisturize and give my tired eyes a little glow up.

My holy grail
As someone with sensitive skin and a long history of battling hyperpigmentation, I'm always hesitant with brightening products—but this Anua Brightening Pad quickly became a staple. The 5% Niacinamide combined with TXA (Tranexamic Acid) worked like magic in calming down my post-acne marks and evening out my skin tone without any irritation. What I appreciate most is how gentle the pads feel—no stinging, no harsh after-effects. I use them after cleansing, and they leave my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. Over time, my dark spots have visibly faded, and my complexion looks more radiant and balanced. For anyone struggling with pigmentation but afraid of aggressive formulas, this pad is a game-changer.
Feels great on the skin!
The Anua Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pads are my new go-to for dull, uneven skin days. Each pad is soaked just right—not too drippy—and feels super gentle on my skin. The combo of 5% niacinamide and tranexamic acid works to visibly brighten and even out my tone without irritation. It's a quick, no-fuss step that leaves my skin looking refreshed and smooth. Perfect for busy mornings or a calming evening routine!


Under‑Eye & Radiance Rescue!
I've been using the Anua Niacinamide 5 % + TXA Brightening Pads as an exchange for a review, mostly as a leave-on mask under my eyes and across my cheeks for 10–20 minutes. The crescent-fit pads hug the delicate under-eye and cheekbone zones perfectly, and they never slip. After removal, the serum is light and non-sticky—just dewy, smooth hydration, and improved radiance that lingers throughout the day.
Will be a repeat buy!
This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review. I have been using these for a week and I absolutely love the glow it gives! I prefer these over the serum because I can use them for more targeted areas. Will continue to buy
