Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPESHigher niacinamide concentration (10% vs 5%) but misses peach extract, hyaluronic acids, and the hydrating feel. Better for oily/acne-prone skin, may be too strong for sensitive skin. No brightening botanicals.
Same 10% niacinamide, simpler formula with glycerin. More basic - lacks the fermented peach complex, triple HA, and botanical brighteners. Fragrance-free option. Great value for basics.
Same brand, different focus. Higher niacinamide (10%) plus Tranexamic Acid for more aggressive dark spot treatment. Lacks the peach complex and hydrating feel. Better for stubborn hyperpigmentation.
Korean brand, higher niacinamide and zinc. No peach extract or fermented ingredients. More focused on oil control and pores. Simpler formula at a lower price point.

Frequently asked questions
FAQThis serum requires caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. While it does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, or hydroquinone, it does contain Alpha-Arbutin, which some healthcare providers recommend avoiding during pregnancy. All ANUA products are certified EWG Green grade, meaning they don't contain known harmful ingredients. However, hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause new skin reactions. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider and patch testing before use.
No, this serum is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed malassezia yeast: Lactobacillus Ferment, Sphingomonas Ferment Extract, Yeast Ferment Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil, and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate. If you have fungal acne, consider ANUA's Azelaic Acid serum or other FA-safe alternatives.
Yes! This serum is compatible with most active ingredients. You can use it with retinol products - apply this serum first, let it absorb, then apply retinol. It also works well with Vitamin C (the serum already contains a stable Vitamin C derivative). For AHA/BHA, you can alternate days or apply acids first, wait 20-30 minutes, then apply this serum. The 5% niacinamide concentration is gentle enough to layer with other actives.
This serum works well for most skin types, especially combination and oily skin (absorbs quickly, controls sebum), dry skin (triple hyaluronic acid provides hydration), sensitive skin (gentle 5% niacinamide), and mature skin (antioxidants and barrier support). It's excellent for those with dull skin, uneven tone, or hyperpigmentation. Not recommended for those with fungal acne or extreme fragrance sensitivity.
You'll notice immediate hydration and glow after first use. Within 1-2 weeks, skin texture improves and radiance increases. Clinical studies show 28.5% brightening improvement after 2 weeks and 22.46% melanin reduction after 4 weeks. For significant dark spot fading, expect 4-8 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Always use sunscreen during the day for best brightening results.
Apply after cleansing and toning, before thicker serums, essences, and moisturizers. The order is: Cleanser → Toner → This Serum → Other Serums/Ampoules → Moisturizer → Sunscreen (AM only). Use 2-3 drops morning and evening. Wait about 30 seconds for absorption before applying the next product. Always finish with SPF 30+ sunscreen in the morning.
This serum has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores for most people. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly. However, it does contain some oils (safflower, chia seed) in small amounts. Most users with acne-prone skin tolerate it well, but if you're extremely sensitive to any oils, patch test first. Note: It's NOT suitable for fungal acne despite the low comedogenic rating.
The serum has a 12-month Period After Opening (PAO). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The glass bottle helps protect the formula from degradation. With twice-daily use of 2-3 drops, the 30ml bottle typically lasts 2-3 months. Watch for changes in color, smell, or texture that might indicate the product has expired.
The beautiful pink color comes entirely from Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), not artificial dyes! Vitamin B12 is naturally pink/red in color. ANUA uses this to both provide skin benefits and create the serum's signature aesthetic. It's completely safe and the color does not stain skin or clothing.
According to ANUA, the peach extract and peach fragrance used in this formula are allergen-free ingredients. However, if you have a known peach allergy, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist or allergist before use. Consider doing an extended patch test on your inner arm for 24-48 hours before applying to your face.
Verdict: ANUA Peach 70 Niacin Serum is an excellent choice for those seeking a gentle yet effective brightening serum with hydrating benefits. The unique 70% fermented peach extract combined with 5% niacinamide offers a gentler approach compared to harsh 10% formulas, making it ideal for sensitive skin while still delivering visible results. The triple hyaluronic acid system provides impressive hydration, and clinical studies back up the brightening claims. While not suitable for fungal acne sufferers and pricier than basic niacinamide serums, it justifies the cost with its multi-functional formula, sustainable packaging, and K-beauty innovation. Perfect for those wanting the glass skin glow with real ingredient science behind it.

Product Overview
Quick product notes are a great way to check if a product is free from commonly avoided ingredients by skincare enthusiasts. These preferences come about for different reasons depending on the ingredient such as personal experiences, sensitivities, health preferences & etc.
Just because a product is not free from a common preference does not mean it's a bad product! You can make a personal decision whether or not you want to use a product that contains these ingredients or not - click the labels of the preference to read more about them.
Quick Product Notes
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you
Notable Effects & Ingredients
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!
Ingredients Related to Skin Types
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
