How it works
The Niacinamide TXA Brightening Booster Toner is a toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tranexamic Acid, Adenosine and Kojic Acid, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the toner format rather than by the list alone. Anua sells this Niacinamide toner in Korea, and this is that version.

Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is the entry this toner is named after, and the list carries it.
Tranexamic Acidactive
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative used for the look of stubborn discolouration and post-blemish marks. It is water soluble, stable and comfortable next to niacinamide, which is how it is usually paired. It is named fifteenth on this toner's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it eighteenth on this toner's list, beside Niacinamide.
Kojic Acidactive
Kojic Acid comes from the fermentation of rice by Aspergillus, the mould used to make sake. It is used in formulas addressed to the look of uneven tone, and it darkens in air. The panel names it twenty-ninth on this toner's list, beside Niacinamide.
Cyanocobalaminvitamin
Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this toner's list, beside Niacinamide.
Anua Niacinamide TXA Brightening Booster Toner
Where does this toner go in my routine?
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. Anything thinner than a toner goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Tranexamic Acid, Adenosine and Kojic Acid. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Cyanocobalamin, Pyridoxine HCl and Phloretin.

How to use
- Use the Niacinamide TXA Brightening Booster Toner straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp.
- Pour a coin-sized pool into your palms and press it over the face in two passes rather than dragging it around with a cotton pad.
- It goes on before serum and moisturizer, and the damp layer it leaves is what the step above it holds on to.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not let it dry down completely before the next layer goes on, or you lose the reason for applying it to damp skin.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- Introduce this toner on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Niacinamide rather than to three changes at once.
