Is the Niacin in the name the same as niacinamide?

Niacinamide, yes. Niacin and niacinamide are two different forms of vitamin B3, and only niacinamide appears anywhere on this panel — nicotinic acid is not in the formula at all. Anua uses Niacin as shorthand in the product name and nowhere else. On its Ulta and Amazon listings Anua gives the level as 2 percent, and niacinamide sits sixth on the ingredient list.

Lightly. Betaine salicylate, a mild beta hydroxy acid, sits in the lower half of the panel, and Anua frames it as smoothing the flaking that stops base makeup sitting evenly rather than as resurfacing. It is a different molecule from salicylic acid and milder in use. If you already run a dedicated acid a few nights a week, this does not replace it.

Does it contain fragrance?

Yes. Fragrance, listed as parfum, is the final entry on the ingredient panel, and Anua describes the scent as peach black tea. If you are avoiding fragrance in a leave-on step, this is not the toner for you. Anua does publish a primary irritation patch result of zero reactivity, but that is a separate question from whether a scent suits your skin.

Where does it go in a routine?

First, straight after cleansing. Anua's directions are to pat it over the face with your hands or a cotton pad, morning and night, then follow with whatever serum and moisturizer you already use. It layers, so a second thin pass is fine on a dry day. Anua also suggests soaking cotton pads and laying them on as a short mask.

Is it vegan or cruelty-free?

Neither tag is on this page. Anua publishes no vegan or animal-testing statement for this toner on its own product page, and the badges you may see elsewhere come from shops rather than from Anua. Nothing on the panel is obviously animal-derived — the ferments and the hydrolyzed vegetable protein are not — but a claim without brand backing is not one we will put behind a filter.

Why does this page skip the clinical numbers?

Because Anua's own figures do not line up. The flaking result reads 88.28 percent around the mouth on Anua's site and 90 percent for makeup flakiness on Ulta, while a footnote elsewhere redefines it as a keratin measurement. A glow figure runs 29.3 percent in one place and 72 percent in another. We would rather print none of them than choose the flattering one.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Anua's Peach 77 Niacin Essence Toner is a first step with the body of a light essence rather than a splash of water. It comes in a 250ml bottle and is meant to be patted in, by hand or on a cotton pad, morning and night.

Peach fruit water opens the ingredient panel at 77 percent, which means the liquid holding the rest of the formula is peach rather than ordinary water — water itself is only third. Niacinamide is sixth, at a level Anua gives as 2 percent, and cyanocobalamin appears further down as vitamin B12; between them they account for the toner's faint natural pink.

Two quieter mechanisms run underneath. Four ferments — lactobacillus, streptococcus thermophilus, bifida and galactomyces — thread through the top half, and betaine salicylate, a gentle BHA, handles the flaking that Anua's makeup-adherence testing was built around. Alpha-arbutin, a single ceramide, squalane and a long amino-acid tail fill out the lower half.

Worth knowing before you commit. Fragrance closes the panel, and the scent Anua gives it is peach black tea, so this is not a fragrance-free toner. No pH figure is published for it. And the peach is declared as fruit water on the panel while Anua's marketing copy calls the same 77 percent an extract.

Key Ingredients

Niacinamide

Helps visibly brighten uneven tone and support the skin barrier.

Translucent ivory sculptural folds with glossy highlights and small clear droplets on a warm cream studio surface.

Alpha-Arbutin

A defined hydroquinone glucoside with emerging formula-specific evidence for more even-looking tone—not the same ingredient as Arbutin or hydroquinone.

Overlapping ivory wax-like layers on a warm blush background, representing ceramide barrier lipids.

Ceramides

Barrier-supporting lipids that help reduce moisture loss and ease visible dryness.

A thin clear stream falls from the tipped bottle into a glossy puddle spreading across a blush surface.

Concerns & Benefits

Your Concerns

1
Texture
A rough, flaky surface that shows up most where base makeup clings and separates.
2
Dull Skin
Skin that reads flat and tired under makeup instead of catching the light.

How To Use

1Use it first, straight after cleansing, while your skin is still damp.
2Tip a little onto a cotton pad, or straight into clean hands, and press it over the face — Anua's directions say pat rather than swipe. Let it settle before the next step.
3Morning and night both. On a dry day a second thin pass sits better than one heavy one.
4For a longer soak, saturate a few cotton pads, lay them over the drier areas for a short while, then press in whatever is left.

Fingertips lift a slow strand of toner out of the open bottle, showing how much body the fluid has.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 77 in the name mean?

The 77 is a concentration in the formula, not an outcome you should expect to see. Anua declares Prunus Persica peach fruit water at 77 percent and it heads the ingredient panel. Anua's own marketing calls that same 77 percent a peach extract instead, and the panel lists a separate peach fruit extract lower down, so the two words describe slightly different things. At least one shop states the 77 refers to niacinamide; it does not.
