Meet the Anua Retinol 3 Peptide Night Repair Cream, your new secret weapon against signs of aging. This smart, effective night cream works while you sleep to smooth out fine lines, firm up your skin, and give you a refreshed, youthful glow by morning.

Why We Love It

• Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Watch as texture and lines become less noticeable over time.
• Firms & Lifts: Peptides help boost skin elasticity for a bouncier, firmer feel.
• Refines Skin Texture: Say goodbye to rough patches and hello to silky-smooth skin.

• Beginner-Friendly Retinol: A potent yet gentle formula perfect for those starting their retinol journey.

Star Ingredients

We believe in smart formulas, not just single ingredients. Here’s what makes this cream a powerhouse:

• Retinol (0.3%): The gold-standard ingredient for anti-aging. It speeds up cell turnover to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin and helps build collagen.
• Peptide Complex: Think of these as the support crew for your skin. They signal your skin to produce more collagen, helping it stay firm and plump.
• Ceramides & Niacinamide: The protective duo. They strengthen your skin’s natural barrier, locking in moisture and calming any potential irritation from the retinol.

How to Use

Using retinol is a marathon, not a sprint. Follow these steps for the best results!

1. Use in your PM routine only.
2. After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck, avoiding the eye and mouth area.
3. Gently pat into the skin until fully absorbed.
4. Follow up with a gentle, hydrating moisturizer.
5. Important: Always wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) the next morning.

Frequency Guide:

• Weeks 1-2: Use 2 times per week.
• Weeks 3-4: Use 3 times per week (every other night).
• After Week 4: If your skin is happy, you can move to nightly use.

Expert Tips: The Do’s & Don’ts

Maximize your results and keep your skin happy with these pro tips.

• DO Pair With Hydration: Use alongside moisturizers rich in ceramides or hyaluronic acid. For extra sensitive skin, try the “sandwich method”: apply moisturizer, then the retinol cream, then more moisturizer.
• DON’T Mix With Actives: In the same routine, avoid using this cream with Vitamin C, AHAs (like glycolic acid), or BHAs (like salicylic acid) to prevent irritation. Use Vitamin C in the AM and retinol in the PM!

Q&A For You

Is the Anua Retinol 3 Peptide cream good for acne-prone skin?

Yes, it can be! Retinol helps promote cell turnover, which can prevent pores from clogging. However, if you have active breakouts or use other acne treatments, we recommend patch-testing first and introducing it slowly into your routine.

Will this retinol cream make my skin peel?

Some mild dryness or flaking can be a normal part of the initial process, often called “retinization.” This usually subsides as your skin adjusts. To minimize this, start with a low frequency (1-2 times a week) and always use a rich moisturizer.
