Anua Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam 150ml
Description
One round. No second cleanse to negotiate.
Exfoliation without the choice between scrubbing and acid.
What this cleanser does
A 150 ml cleanser built around Niacinamide, formulated to hold water in the surface, calm the look of redness and soften the surface.
How it lifts, and why that matters
Exfoliants usually make you choose. Scrubs work by abrasion, so the result depends on how hard your hand presses. Acid peels work by lowering pH, so the result depends on what your skin tolerates.
This one does neither. Cellulose sits at number 5 on the ingredient list — plant-derived polysaccharide fibre; absorbent, bulking agent, slip modifier. The fibre gathers and carries loose surface cells with it as you massage, so how it feels does not depend on how hard you press.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Beta-Glucan | Polysaccharide from yeast or oat. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Ceramide NP | Ceramide 3. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Betaine | Amino acid derivative from sugar beet. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract | Extract of Ficus carica fruit. Listed as skin-conditioning agent. |
| Pueraria Lobata Root Extract | Extract of Pueraria lobata root (kudzu). Listed as skin-conditioning agent (humectant). |
| Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract | Extract of Pinus palustris needle. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract | Extract of Ulmus davidiana root (elm). Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Hydrogenated Lecithin | Hydrogenated phospholipid. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells; keeps oil and water from separating. |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin and Betaine among others — draw water into the surface. Calming ingredients — Centella Asiatica Extract and Beta-Glucan — work on the look of redness. Emollients and lipids — Ceramide NP and Hydrogenated Lecithin — sit on top and slow how fast that water leaves.
Humectants and emollients and lipids are the pairing that matters here: water pulled in by one, held there by the other. That is the difference between skin that feels comfortable an hour after application and skin that feels comfortable at bedtime.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
Worth checking before you buy: soap-based (saponified) cleansing system.
How to use it
- Dispense a proper amount into your palm.
- Lather formula into a rich foam in circular motions.
The first step is the one most people skip. A fibre exfoliant needs friction against skin to gather; on a wet face it slides instead. If it has ever failed to roll for you, that is usually why.
