WHY WE LOVE IT

A popular brightening product from Anua, these treatment pads are soaked in 5% niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and seven peptides — leave them on like a mini mask, then wipe to exfoliate, for a brightening step that tackles dark spots, dullness, and uneven tone all at once.

These aren't standard cotton toner pads. The crescent shape is designed specifically to hug the "half-moon zone" — from under the eyes across the cheekbones, the area most prone to dark circles, dullness, and discolouration — and the two-step ritual sets them apart from anything else in this format. Press one onto an area of concern after cleansing, leave it for 10–20 minutes like a targeted sheet mask, then gently wipe across the face to sweep away dead skin cells and refresh the surface. The result is a single step that both treats and exfoliates, without feeling harsh or stripping.

The formula underneath the ritual is just as considered. Niacinamide at 5% and tranexamic acid work as a dual brightening team; one inhibiting melanin transfer, the other interrupting the pathway that creates hyperpigmentation in the first place. Pink Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) adds another layer of radiance support while visibly reducing the look of dark circles. PHA provides the gentle exfoliation that makes the wipe step effective without sensitising the skin. And seven types of peptides, including copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, quietly support collagen production, elasticity, and barrier repair in the background.

Clinically, the results are notable: a 20.63% improvement in the appearance of under-eye shadows and a 45.70% increase in overall skin luminosity after eight weeks of use.

Key Ingredients

Niacinamide 5% + Tranexamic Acid: A proven brightening duo: niacinamide (vitamin B3) blocks the transfer of melanin to the skin's surface to fade dark spots and even tone, while tranexamic acid — originally a medical ingredient — interrupts the signal that triggers excess melanin production in the first place, making it particularly effective on stubborn pigmentation and post-breakout marks

Pink Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) + PHA: B12 supports skin cell renewal and helps visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles — the distinctive pink tone in the formula comes from this ingredient. Gluconolactone (a PHA) provides gentle daily exfoliation by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, making the wipe step effective without the irritation risk of AHAs or BHAs, even on sensitive skin

7-type Peptide Complex: Seven peptides including copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 — collectively they stimulate collagen and elastin production, improve skin firmness and elasticity, support barrier repair, and help the formula deliver anti-ageing benefits alongside its primary brightening work

HOW TO USE

After cleansing, apply the pad to areas of concern and leave it on for 10–20 minutes like a mask. Then gently wipe across the face to smooth and refresh your skin. We recommend that you do not use more than once a day to avoid over-exfoliation.
