Can you use the rice water toner after or just use the pads ????
- Asked by Oily skin
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question regarding usage. The Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pad can be used on its own as a toner step in your routine. If you would like to layer it with the Rice Toner, we recommend using the pads first to gently refine skin texture, and then follow with the Rice Toner for added hydration and nourishment. Both can complement each other depending on your skin’s needs. Should you have any questions or need further assistance in the meantime, feel free to reach out - we’re happy to help.Was this answer helpful to you

Can this product be used on the knees to help lighten the skin?

- Q
After 10-20 minutes, do you rinse it off or leave it on or wash it off?
- Asked by Studduck's Mom
- Official Answer By Anua - Brand EngageThank you for your question! The ANUA Niacinamide 5% + TXA Brightening Pad is a leave-on exfoliating treatment, so there’s no need to rinse it off after use. After applying it and allowing it to absorb (usually within a few minutes), you can follow up with the rest of your skincare routine, such as toner, serum, and moisturizer. We recommend using it 2–3 times per week, especially if you have sensitive skin, and always applying sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.Was this answer helpful to you

Gentle Exfoliation & Glow
These pads are so convenient! They smooth my skin and help with dull spots.
LOVE THESE
I was fortunate to be gifted the Anua Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pads in exchange for an honest review, and after using them consistently for a few weeks, I can confidently say I love them. The pads are incredibly gentle—there's no harsh texture, so they glide over the skin without irritation. Each one is fully saturated with product, which means I can cover my entire face and still have enough left to treat my neck and chest. I also really appreciate the thoughtful packaging: the flip-top lid and included tweezers make it easy to keep everything clean and hygienic. Performance-wise, these have been such an effortless addition to my nighttime routine. I use them every evening before bed, and they leave my skin feeling refreshed, hydrated, and with a noticeable glow over time. The formula is gentle enough that I think most skin types would benefit, making it not only a great self-care splurge but also a thoughtful gift. Overall, these pads are a simple, effective way to give your skin some extra attention with very little effort—and the results speak for themselves.
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.
