anua Nano Retinol 0.3 Niacin Renewing Serum Ampoule 30ml

Features

anua Nano Retinol 0.3 Niacin Renewing Serum Ampoule is a specialized skincare solution designed to address concerns regarding skin texture, pore size, and elasticity. Utilizing proprietary anua Retinol™ technology, the serum features a liposome delivery system that encapsulates retinol in skin-lipid components—such as ceramide, cholesterol, and fatty acids—to create particles 1/3,000nm the size of average skin pores. This advanced technology allows for safe and effective penetration into the skin. The formula combines 0.3% retinol complex (containing 0.11% pure retinol) with 5% niacinamide to provide intensive care for aging skin.

Benefits

This serum provides a comprehensive approach to skin renewal, specifically targeting enlarged pores, loss of elasticity, and rough skin texture. By promoting skin turnover, it helps smooth skin texture and improve the appearance of pores. The formula is designed to deliver deep hydration down to the 15th layer of the epidermis, supporting the improvement of damaged skin barriers. It also offers a blurring effect for a clearer complexion and provides a firming, lifting sensation to sagging skin.

Main Ingredients and their effects

Retinol: A key anti-aging ingredient that promotes skin turnover for firmer, more resilient skin. Niacinamide: A powerful brightening ingredient that also helps mitigate potential skin side effects associated with retinol use, supporting a hydrated and radiant glow. Ceramide: Works in conjunction with soothing ingredients to provide deep moisture and support the skin barrier. Peptides: A complex of 9 types of peptides are included to provide intensive tension and elasticity care for sagging skin.

Clinical test results

Clinical trials conducted by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences (Sept 12–Oct 10, 2023, on 22 adult women aged 35–66) demonstrated significant efficacy: pore area was reduced by 35.7%, and elasticity in the cheek area showed a 3.36% improvement. Additionally, 100% of participants reported satisfaction regarding improvements in skin texture, pore size, and exfoliation. Regarding hydration, the serum provided moisture replenishment down to the 15th epidermal layer. A separate study (March 19–April 4, 2024, on 23 adults) showed improved recovery of the skin barrier after chemical irritation. The product has also been dermatologically tested and is classified as a low-irritation product.

Usage instructions

During the evening skincare routine, apply a moderate amount to the entire face and gently absorb it, followed by a moisturizer. For the first two weeks, use the product every other day to allow the skin to adapt. After the two-week adaptation period, it may be used daily in the evening. If using during the day, ensure the application of sunscreen. If irritation occurs, reduce the frequency of use or mix with a soothing serum or moisturizer. Do not use alongside high-content Vitamin C or exfoliating products. Keep stored in a cool, shaded place between 5–25°C, and it is recommended to use within 6 months after opening.
