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.

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...

Skincare staples
I have been using these toner pads in conjunction with the masks and I am obsessed with the results. My skin feels so hydrated. My complexion is brighter and more glowy. I have been applying these pads every morning for about 30 minutes. I like that these pads are generously soaked with essence so each pad feel so nice and fresh on the skin.

Contains BHA
I do like these toner pads. They feel nice and they're not offensive smelling or anything like that. But I recently found out that they contain a BHA. As someone with rosacea I try to avoid a certain skin care ingredients and BHA is one of them. So with that being said, I will not be purchasing these toner pads. It really should be made more clear that these contain more than one type of exfoliant.
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 is generously soaked in essence, so you're never dealing with a half-dry sheet, which is a big deal for me. I've used other brands where the last few pads in the jar are basically useless because they've dried out, but with these, every single pad feels fresh and saturated. soft and smooth application. Works well with sensitive skin I decided to start with nighttime use to see how my skin reacted. The first time I swiped one across my face, it felt cooling and instantly hydrating not that tight, tingling feeling you sometimes get from active ingredients. Within seconds, my skin looked a little more awake and fresh, even before I layered on the rest of my routine. I struggle with uneven tone, especially some stubborn post-acne marks and a bit of dullness. By day four or five, I started noticing my skin tone looking more even, and the overall texture felt smoother. My cheeks, which tend to look a little blotchy, were noticeably calmer and brighter. Niacinamide has always been my go-to for brightening and improving skin barrier health, while Tranexamic acid is amazing for tackling discoloration and stubborn pigmentation. Together, they seem to work in a really balanced way, there's no harshness and no peeling. Another unexpected benefit was how soft my skin started feeling. My overall complexion is brighter, my makeup goes on smoother, and those post-acne spots that usually linger for months have lightened much faster than usual. I've experimented with using them in the morning, too, especially on days when I want my skin to look fresh without much effort. They leave this slightly hydrated, plump base that makes my tinted spf looking glowy and nice on the skin Overall, I'd describe the Anua Niacinamide 5% + TXA Brightening Pad as one of the most reliable skincare products I've tried in a long time. It delivers visible results without irritation, feels pleasant to use, and fits seamlessly into both morning and evening routines. I'll keep repurchasing it not just for the brightening benefits, but because it keeps my skin balanced, hydrated, and smooth every single day. simple to use, genuinely effective, and perfect for anyone who wants that natural, even-toned glow without harsh side effects.

Gentle Yet Powerful Brightening Pads
These toner pads are a hidden gem for brightening and refining skin texture. Each pad is generously soaked but not dripping, and the fabric is super soft — no rough edges at all. I use them in the evening after cleansing, and I love how refreshing they feel. My skin has become more even over time, and I've noticed some stubborn post-acne spots starting to fade. The best part? There's no sting or irritation, even with regular use. It feels like a perfect balance of gentle exfoliation and calming hydration. Definitely worth trying if you're dealing with pigmentation or uneven skin tone. This item was sent to me in exchange for an honest review. These are my true, unbiased thoughts after use.
