Based on 22 reviews
Customers describe these Anua brightening pads as an easy, fast step that has become part of their daily routine. Many like that the pads are pre soaked and ready to swipe, and say their skin feels soft and hydrated rather than tight afterwards. Reviewers mention the textured side feeling gentle and their skin looking fresher and more even over a few weeks. Several note the jar lasts a long time at one pad a day. A few bought a second jar or gave one as a gift.
Skin looks more even
After about three weeks my skin looks a bit brighter and more even, especially around my cheeks. I use one pad at night before my moisturizer. It is gentle and does not sting at all. Really happy I picked this one up.
Gentle textured side
The textured side is nice on my chin and nose where I get a bit of rough texture. It feels gentle, not scrubby. Skin feels clean and soft after. Knocked one star only because I wish the jar was a touch bigger, but it lasts well.
My partner stole mine
Bought it for myself and now we both use it. One pad each after washing our faces and skin feels hydrated rather than dry. The pink jar looks nice on the shelf too. Ordered a second jar already so we stop fighting over it.
No more tight feeling
My skin always felt tight after cleansing and these have sorted that. The pad leaves a soft hydrated layer and then my serum goes on lovely. I keep the lid shut like it says and the pads stay properly soaked.
Good simple step
Not the most exciting product but it does the job and it is quick. Swipe one pad over the face after cleansing, done. Skin feels fresh and a bit brighter. The textured side is handy. Would buy again for the convenience.
Lasts ages
Sixty pads at one a day means this jar has lasted me two months easily. The toner keeps my skin soft and I think my tone looks more even than before. Lovely under makeup too, no stickiness at all. Great value really.
Fits my lazy routine
I want skincare that takes no thought and this is it. Cleanse, swipe a pad, moisturize. Skin feels hydrated and looks healthier after a few weeks. The fact each pad is ready to go is the whole reason I stick with it.
Brightening over time
I would not expect overnight results but after a month my skin does look more even and fresh. I use it morning and night. Gentle enough for daily use and never irritated my skin. The pads are soaked well, never dry.
Soft and refreshed
Cool pad straight from the jar feels lovely in the morning and wakes my skin up. It leaves everything soft and hydrated and my serum sinks in better. I have repurchased once already. Genuinely a nice easy addition to my routine.
Gift that went down well
Got this for my sister who is into skincare and she loved it. She said the texture is gentle and her skin looks brighter. She uses one at night before her moisturizer. Easy win as a gift, the jar looks the part too.
Does what it says
Pre soaked, gentle, leaves skin hydrated. No complaints. I keep it by the sink and use one after cleansing. My skin tone looks a little more even and it never feels tight now. Took off a star only because I wish it had a refill.
Quick morning step
I do this while my coffee brews. One pad, swipe, and my skin feels clean and hydrated before serum and sunscreen. No sticky residue under my SPF either. After a month my skin looks fresher. Will keep buying it.
Gentle and effective
I have sensitive skin and was nervous but these have been kind to it. No stinging, just soft hydrated skin and a more even look over a few weeks. The textured side is soft enough for daily use. So glad I tried them.
Solid daily toner
Been using it twice a day for a month. Skin feels hydrated and a bit brighter. The convenience of a soaked pad is what keeps me using it consistently, which is probably why I am seeing a difference. Good simple product.
Skin feels softer
The first thing I noticed was how soft my skin felt after, none of that tight squeak. Over a few weeks it also looks more even. I use one pad at night and the jar is lasting really well. Lovely gentle product.
Convinced my whole family
Started with one jar, now my wife and teenage daughter use it too. Everyone likes that it is quick and leaves skin hydrated. We keep the lid shut so the pads stay soaked. On our third jar now. Easy recommend from us.
Nice even look
My skin tone has always been a bit uneven and after consistent use it does look fresher and more even. Gentle, hydrating, no irritation. The pad is generous in size. I just wish I had started using toner this way years ago.
Hydration without the mess
No bottle, no dripping, no soaking a cotton pad. Just lift, swipe and go. Skin feels hydrated and soft straight after and looks healthier over time. This is the toner format I did not know I needed. Repurchasing for sure.
Part of my routine now
Two months in and this is a fixed step morning and night. Skin is soft, hydrated and looks more even than it did. The textured side is gentle on my nose. The jar lasted exactly as long as they said it would at one a day.
Good value daily pad
Sixty pads for the price is decent and they last. Skin feels clean and hydrated after each use and a little brighter over time. Simple, gentle, no fuss. Knocked one star as the lid can be stiff to open but that is minor.
Brighter and softer skin
After a month my skin genuinely looks brighter and feels softer. I use one pad after cleansing every night before my moisturizer. It is gentle, hydrating and so easy that I never skip it. Already told two friends to try it.

I always skipped toner because pouring and soaking a cotton pad felt like a faff. These are already wet so I just grab one after cleansing and swipe. My skin feels soft not tight and I have used it every morning for weeks now.
