This makes Anua an interesting brand to explore whether you're looking for a simple hydration-focused routine or more targeted skincare.
At The Seoul Palette, we make it easier to discover authentic Anua skincare in South Africa without having to navigate the Korean skincare market on your own.

Anua Heartleaf Skincare
Heartleaf is one of the ingredients most closely associated with Anua.
Anua's Heartleaf range includes products such as the Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, which is currently available at The Seoul Palette. If you're interested in Heartleaf as an ingredient, you can also explore our wider Korean skincare collection featuring Heartleaf products from different K-Beauty brands.
Heartleaf products can be incorporated into different routines depending on the individual formula and your skin's needs. Always check the product directions and ingredient list before introducing a new product.
Anua Rice Skincare
Rice is another important part of Anua's current skincare range. The Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner is designed as a milky toner step and is available in both a full-size and smaller format at The Seoul Palette.
The collection also includes the 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum, bringing Rice together with Ceramide-focused barrier care.

Anua PDRN Skincare
PDRN has become an increasingly visible ingredient category within modern Korean skincare, and Anua's current collection includes several PDRN products.
At The Seoul Palette, the Anua range currently includes:
- PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray
- PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum
- PDRN Collagen Melting Patches for the face
- PDRN Collagen Melting Patches for the neck
The right product depends on the formula, application area and your existing skincare routine.
If you're exploring PDRN for the first time, focus on the specific product formulation rather than choosing a product based only on the ingredient name.
Anua Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid
Anua's current range also includes products featuring Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid, two ingredients commonly found in Korean skincare routines focused on the appearance of uneven tone and pigmentation.
The collection currently includes:
Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum
and
Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pad
As with any targeted skincare product, your choice should depend on the complete formula and how it fits into the rest of your routine.
Anua Azelaic Acid Skincare
Anua's Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum combines Azelaic Acid with Hyaluronic Acid in a serum format.
Azelaic Acid is a well-established cosmetic and dermatological ingredient that is commonly used in skincare routines targeting concerns such as uneven-looking skin tone and blemish-prone skin.
If you're considering Azelaic Acid, introduce it according to the product directions and take your overall routine into account.
Anua Ceramide and Barrier Care
If your routine is focused on supporting a healthy-looking skin barrier, Anua's current collection includes products featuring Ceramides and Panthenol.
The 3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream is formulated as a moisturising step, while the 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum combines Rice with Ceramide-focused skincare.
These products can be considered when building a routine around hydration and moisturisation.
Shop Ceramide and Peptide skincare
Anua Hyaluronic Acid Skincare
Hyaluronic Acid is another ingredient represented in Anua's current collection.
The brand currently offers the PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum, as well as the 8 Hyaluronic Acid Catechin Calming Pad.
Hyaluronic Acid is commonly used in skincare formulations designed to support skin hydration. The final feel and function of a product depend on the complete formula, not one ingredient alone.
Anua Sunscreen
Daily sun protection is an important part of a daytime skincare routine.
Anua's current collection at The Seoul Palette includes the Zero-cast Moisturizing Finish Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++.
When choosing a sunscreen, consider the protection level, texture, finish and how comfortably it fits into your daily routine.
Which Anua Skincare Is Right for You?
There isn't one Anua product that's right for everyone.
The best starting point depends on your skin type, concerns, preferred texture and the products you're already using.
For Dehydrated or Dry Skin
If hydration is your priority, explore Anua's Rice, Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramide-focused products.
Options in the current collection include:
- Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner
- 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum
- PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum
- 3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream

For Oily or Combination Skin
If your skin tends to become oily or you're concerned about the appearance of clogged pores, Anua's cleansing and lightweight skincare options may be worth exploring.
The Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is one option in the current Anua collection.
Your cleansing routine should still be balanced with appropriate hydration and moisturisation.

These include:
- Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum
- Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pad
- Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum
Choose according to your existing routine and the individual product directions rather than layering multiple targeted products at once without considering ingredient compatibility and your skin's tolerance.

Shop skincare for hyperpigmentation and acne scars
For Skin Barrier Care
Anua's Ceramide and Panthenol products are relevant if you're building a routine around hydration and moisturisation.
The 3 Ceramide Panthenol Moisture Barrier Cream and 7 Rice Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum are two products currently available in the collection.
Shop Korean skincare for a damaged skin barrier
For Sensitive Skin
If your skin is sensitive or easily irritated, don't choose skincare based on the brand name alone.

How to Build an Anua Skincare Routine
You don't need a complicated 10-step routine to enjoy K-Beauty.
A simple routine can start with the essentials.
Morning
- Cleanser
- Toner or toner pad
- Serum
- Moisturiser
- Sunscreen
Depending on your skin and the products you're using, you can keep your routine simple or add targeted treatments.
Shop Korean water-based cleansers
Shop Korean toners and toner pads
Shop Korean serums and ampoules
Evening
- Oil-based cleanser if needed
- Water-based cleanser
- Toner or toner pad
- Serum or treatment
- Moisturiser
If you're wearing sunscreen or makeup, an oil-based cleansing step can be used before a water-based cleanser.
You don't need to use every product in a range. A well-chosen routine is usually easier to maintain than an unnecessarily complicated one.
Is Anua Good for K-Beauty Beginners?
Anua can be a useful brand to explore if you're new to Korean skincare because the current range covers several familiar skincare categories, including cleansing, toners, serums, moisturisers and sunscreen.
If you're a beginner, start with the basics rather than buying an entire routine at once.
A simple starting routine could include:
- Cleanser
- Moisturiser
- Sunscreen
You can then introduce a toner, serum or targeted treatment depending on what your skin needs.
