A clear gel cleanser with a skin-friendly pH of 5.5 and a mix of hydrating humectants, lathering into fine, soft bubbles. It cleans while helping skin feel comfortable instead of tight.
Why it’s in your routine: A pH 5.5, unscented gel with mild cleansers (coco-betaine, potassium cocoyl glycinate) plus glycerin, trehalose and beta-glucan, so skin feels clean, not tight. It has no spot-fading active on purpose: irritation can leave marks looking darker, so we start gentle. It also has a little soap-type cleanser (potassium cocoate), so if your skin runs dry, rinse well and follow with your cream.
How to use: Massage a coin-size amount onto damp skin for 30 seconds, then rinse well with lukewarm water. At night, wash twice if you wore sunscreen or makeup (in the 7-Step, the balm does the first round).
Girl tip 💡 Massage it onto damp skin for about 30 seconds and rinse with lukewarm water, following an oil cleanser if you wear makeup or sunscreen.
Ten percent niacinamide plus four percent tranexamic acid (TXA) in a lightweight serum that helps fade the look of dark spots for a more even-looking tone. It sinks in fast and layers under everything.
Why it’s in your routine: This is the main tone-evening step: niacinamide (10%, 3rd in the ingredient list) helps tone look more even, while tranexamic acid (4%) and arbutin plus alpha-arbutin (2% combined, per the label) are classic ingredients to help the look of dark marks fade. It also holds a small amount of a mild BHA (betaine salicylate) and the vitamin C derivative 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, so ease in if your skin is sensitive, and note the plant oils (olive, jojoba, macadamia) if you’re prone to fungal acne. Niacinamide also shows up in the cream, pad and sunscreen, which is fine, but this serum is the main dose.
How to use: Press 3-4 drops all over clean skin, adding a little extra on the areas with marks, then wait about a minute before the next step. If you notice flushing or tingling, use it once a day (evenings) until your skin settles.
Girl tip 💡 Two or three drops is plenty. Press it in and give it a minute before your next step.
A rich, silky cream with rice bran water, ginseng and squalane that keeps skin soft, bouncy and glowy for hours. It feels luxe without ever feeling greasy.
Why it’s in your routine: A comforting barrier cream with glycerin, squalane, ceramide NP and hyaluronic acid forms, so skin stays cushioned and the actives feel gentler. It has niacinamide too (5th in the list) as an even-tone bonus, but no dedicated spot-fading ingredient, so it is here for support, not for fading. It contains honey extract, so skip it if you’re allergic to honey or bee products.
How to use: Pat a coin-size amount over your face and neck (half a pea if your skin is oily or combination), morning and night. In the morning it goes on right before sunscreen.
Girl tip 💡 Warm it between your fingertips and press it in for that plump, glassy finish.
Essence-soaked pads with glutathione, niacinamide and LHA (a super gentle exfoliant) that swipe away dullness for a smoother, more even-looking glow. One swipe and you’ve toned, prepped and polished.
Why it’s in your routine: A multi-active pad: niacinamide (7th in the list) with a gentle LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid, a salicylic-acid derivative) and lactic acid that loosen dull surface cells, plus vitamin C forms (ascorbic acid, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, ascorbyl glucoside), ferulic acid and glutathione as antioxidants. The exfoliating acids and vitamin C sit low in the ingredient list, so think mild tone-evening toner, not a strong peel, but it still exfoliates, so ramp up slowly and skip it if you’re allergic to aspirin or salicylates.
How to use: After cleansing, press and sweep one pad over your face and neck (skip the eye area, don’t rub), then wait about a minute before your serum. Weeks 1-2: 2 mornings a week; weeks 3-4: 3 mornings, never back to back; go daily only if your skin stays calm, with no tightness, stinging or peeling.
Girl tip 💡 Pat the leftover essence into your skin after you swipe. Never toss that goodness!
A rice-and-probiotics sunscreen with a creamy, dewy finish that feels like a moisturizer. It blends in with no white cast, so daily SPF finally feels easy.
Why it’s in your routine: Sunscreen is required in a dark-spot routine, because UV is what makes marks look darker again and it can undo the work of every other step. This is a creamy, daily broad-spectrum SPF that also carries niacinamide (8th in the list) and 30% rice extract for a comfortable, dewy feel (very oily skin may find it dewy).
How to use: Make it the very last step every morning: smooth on two finger-lengths for your face and neck. Reapply every 2-3 hours when you’re in direct sun.
Girl tip 💡 Use about two finger-lengths for your face and neck, and reapply every two hours when you’re outdoors.
A light serum with 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable vitamin C derivative, plus centella and bisabolol to help skin look brighter, smoother and calmer. It sinks in easily and layers under moisturizer.
Why it’s in your routine: A vitamin C derivative serum: 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is 2nd in the ingredient list, so there is a meaningful amount, working as a gentle antioxidant to help skin look brighter and more even, with centella and bisabolol to keep it comfortable. It is a stable derivative rather than pure L-ascorbic acid, and the Anua serum carries a trace of the same ingredient, which is fine together. It lists a little alcohol (late in the list) and a citrus peel extract (near the end), so patch test if you’re sensitive to either.
How to use: After your Anua serum has settled for a minute, press a pea-size amount over your face and neck, then follow with your cream. Use it morning and night.
Girl tip 💡 Start by using it once a day after toner, then wear sunscreen every morning.
A sherbet-like balm that turns into a silky oil to lift makeup, sunscreen and the whole day off your skin. Step one of your double cleanse, made a little bit luxe.
Why it’s in your routine: Because you wear sunscreen every day, this oil-based balm (cetyl ethylhexanoate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, with rice bran and sea buckthorn oils) melts away sunscreen, makeup and oil so your serums land on properly clean skin. It is here to remove, not to brighten. It contains oat and a soy-derived ferment, plus PEG-type emulsifiers, so skip it if you avoid any of those.
How to use: On dry skin with dry hands, massage a scoop for 60 seconds, add a splash of water until it turns milky, then rinse. Follow right away with your gel cleanser to finish the double cleanse.
Girl tip 💡 Scoop with clean, dry fingers and massage onto a dry face before adding water.
Your dark spots and even tone plan, step by step
A gentle, steady routine to help dark marks look softer and your tone look more even, with SPF every single morning.
This routine pairs a niacinamide + tranexamic acid + arbutin serum with a mild cleanser and a barrier-loving cream, plus (in the bigger sizes) a gentle exfoliating pad and a vitamin C derivative serum, to help the look of dark spots fade ✨ Daily sunscreen is required, because UV is what makes marks look darker again. Go gently and stay consistent, since marks fade gradually.
Best for: Anyone with post-blemish marks, sun spots or uneven-looking tone, across all skin types, who is ready to wear sunscreen every morning.

Why these steps?
SPF is non-negotiable ☀️Sunscreen is required for dark-spot routines: UV can make marks look darker again and cancel your progress. That is why the Relief Sun is the last step every morning in the 5-Step and 7-Step, and our required add-on with the 3-Step.
A team of fade-helpersNiacinamide, tranexamic acid and arbutin in the Anua serum, plus a vitamin C derivative (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid) in the 7-Step, each work differently to help the look of dark spots fade and tone look more even.
Gentle beats aggressiveIrritation can leave new marks behind, so the actives sit with a mild cleanser and a barrier cream, and the exfoliating pad starts at just 2 mornings a week.
Niacinamide on purposeNiacinamide appears in four of these products (the serum, cream, pad and sunscreen). It is gentle, but the serum is the main dose, so if you flush or tingle, use the serum once a day and let the others carry the rest.
Sunscreen is required for dark-spot routines: wear the Relief Sun (or a broad-spectrum SPF 30+) every single morning, two finger-lengths for face and neck. The Anua serum holds a small amount of a mild BHA (betaine salicylate) and a vitamin C derivative, so patch test first and, if you flush or tingle, use it once a day until your skin settles. If you’re pregnant, nursing or using prescription skin treatments, check with your doctor before adding exfoliating acids.
Sunscreen is built in and required: it is the last step every morning, even on cloudy days. The pad has a gentle LHA (a salicylic-acid derivative) and lactic acid, so start at 2 mornings a week, build slowly, skip it on any day your skin stings, and patch test first. Niacinamide is in the serum, cream, pad and sunscreen, which is fine, but if you flush, use the serum once a day. If you’re pregnant, nursing or using prescription skin treatments, check with your doctor before adding exfoliating acids.
Sunscreen is required: the Relief Sun is your last step every morning, and your evening double cleanse (balm, then gel cleanser) takes it off properly. Patch test first, start the pad at 2 mornings a week and pause it if your skin stings, and keep in mind the Anua serum, the pad and Light On all contain vitamin C forms, while the serum and pad also hold mild exfoliating acids. If you flush, use the Anua serum once a day, since niacinamide appears in four of these products. If you’re pregnant, nursing or using prescription skin treatments, check with your doctor before adding exfoliating acids.
