A beginner-friendly retinol serum that renews texture without the drama. From viral K-beauty brand Anua, this smoothing serum pairs gentle, encapsulated retinol with 5% niacinamide to refine the look of rough texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and uneven tone. What makes it so wearable is the support cast: a full six-ceramide complex, squalane and more than twenty soothing botanicals — Centella, green tea, mugwort, chamomile and more — cushion the retinol so it feels calm, not stripping. Peptides and adenosine add firming, anti-ageing support. It's one of the easiest ways to start retinol, especially for sensitive or first-time users.

Gentle, encapsulated retinol: A beginner-friendly retinol targets the look of rough texture, fine lines and enlarged pores, in a buffered formula designed to be low-irritation.

5% niacinamide: A generous dose of niacinamide brightens, evens the look of tone and supports the skin barrier alongside the retinol.

Cushioned by ceramides + 20+ botanicals: Six ceramides, squalane and a long list of soothing extracts (Centella, green tea, mugwort, chamomile) keep skin calm and comfortable.

Peptides for firming: A multi-peptide blend (including copper tripeptide-1) and adenosine add anti-ageing, firming support for smoother, bouncier-looking skin.

1- Use in the evening (PM). Start 2–3 nights a week and build up as your skin adjusts.
2- After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops to dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area.
3- Follow with moisturiser — a ceramide or barrier cream is a great partner.
4- Always wear sunscreen the next morning — retinol can make skin more sun-sensitive.
5- It also contains a gentle BHA, so avoid layering other strong exfoliating acids on the same night while your skin adjusts.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a beginner-friendly retinol serum from Anua that pairs gentle, encapsulated retinol with 5% niacinamide. It targets the look of rough texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and uneven tone, cushioned by a six-ceramide complex, squalane and more than twenty soothing botanicals. It's a 30ml serum for evening use.

It suits most skin types, including those new to retinol and oilier or texture-prone skin, because the retinol is buffered with ceramides, squalane and soothing botanicals. Note it contains tea tree oil and botanical extracts, so it isn't fragrance-free — if your skin is very sensitive or fragrance-reactive, patch test first. As it contains retinol, introduce it gradually, and if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before use.

Yes — it's designed as a starter retinol. The retinol is gentle and encapsulated, and it's balanced with 5% niacinamide, ceramides and calming botanicals so it's less likely to sting or flake than a bare retinol. Start a couple of nights a week, build up slowly, moisturise well, and wear sunscreen daily.

Retinol works to renew the skin's surface and soften the look of rough texture and fine lines, while niacinamide and a gentle BHA help refine the appearance of enlarged pores and even out tone. Together they're aimed at smoother, clearer, more refined-looking skin over time.

Retinol is generally advised against during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, trying or nursing, please check with your doctor before using this serum, and consider a retinol-free option in the meantime. This is general information, not medical advice.

Anua's retinol pieces are made to layer together for head-to-eye results. At night, cleanse, then smooth this Retinol 0.3% + Niacin Renewing Serum over the face to target texture, pores and fine lines. Gently pat the Anua Retinol 0.1 Caffeine Revitalizing Eye Cream around the delicate eye area, and a few evenings a week add the Anua Retinol Berry Revitalizing Eye Patches as a targeted eye treatment. Finish by massaging in the Anua Collagen Retinol Refining Gua Sha Cream to firm and sculpt the face and neck. Because every step contains retinol, introduce them one at a time, build up gradually, and always wear sunscreen the next morning.
