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...

Not really for my skin type
I really wanted to love the Anua Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pads, but unfortunately they didn't work well for my skin. I used them consistently for several weeks with the hope of improving my hyperpigmentation, and I didn't see any noticeable brightening or evening of my skin tone. Instead, my skin became increasingly dry and sensitive. I also noticed that my skin felt more reactive to sunlight, even while wearing sunscreen, which was concerning. The formula containing 5% niacinamide and tranexamic acid may work for some, but for me it disrupted my skin barrier rather than supporting it. If you have sensitive or already compromised skin, this may be something to approach with caution. While the concept is great, this product just wasn't a good match for my skin and didn't deliver the brightening results I was hoping for. Incentive Review

this was amazing I really wish I had enough money to buy some more
Repurchased
Noticeably evened skintone on my cheeks. I use them for 20 minutes at a time under each eye about 3x a week before bed—after I cleanse and apply serums but before moisturizer.
Does not contain TXA
So the serum contains TXA, but these are actually do not and it's really annoying! I would've bought the serum had I known that. I will say that these are very nice and that they're hydrating. I still use them, but I wish they wouldn't lie
Hard Pass - Causes breakouts
I'm not sure how this is supposed to brighten. the pads are soaking wet. I tried using it on my face like a typical toner pad and I broke out in two spots the next day,and I'm 50 and rarely break out. Save your money, and pass on this one.
