ANUA Skin Renewal and Barrier Rescue Duo

Anua Nano Retinol 0.3% Niacin Renewing Serum 30ml and Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream 50ml

Anua Skin Renewal and Barrier Rescue Duo combines Anua Nano Retinol 0.3% Niacin Renewing Serum 30ml and Anua Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream 50ml into a targeted Korean skincare routine for smoother-looking texture, refined pores, improved uneven tone, visible fine lines, calming hydration and skin barrier support.

The routine pairs the renewing action of retinol, niacinamide and peptides with a soothing moisturiser formulated with 70% Heartleaf Extract, Panthenol and Ceramide NP. The serum targets visible signs of ageing and uneven skin, while the cream follows with calming moisture and barrier support, making the duo a balanced approach to active skincare.

Renews skin texture – Retinol helps improve the appearance of uneven texture and promotes smoother-looking skin.

Targets fine lines – The retinol and peptide-focused serum helps improve visible signs of ageing and supports firmer-looking skin.

Refines the appearance of pores – The Nano Retinol serum targets enlarged-looking pores and uneven skin texture.

Helps improve uneven tone – Niacinamide and retinol support a clearer, more even-looking complexion and target the appearance of dark spots and post-breakout marks.

Calms and hydrates – Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream provides soothing moisture to help keep skin comfortable after active skincare.

Supports the skin barrier – Panthenol, Ceramide NP and Cholesterol help maintain the skin's protective moisture barrier.

What Is It?

Anua Skin Renewal and Barrier Rescue Duo is a two-step treatment and moisturising routine that combines targeted retinol skincare with calming Heartleaf hydration.

Rather than relying on an active serum alone, the duo creates a balanced renew and support approach. Anua Nano Retinol 0.3% Niacin Renewing Serum addresses visible concerns including fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, uneven tone and post-breakout marks. Anua Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream then provides soothing hydration and ingredients that help maintain the skin's moisture barrier.

This makes the combination particularly useful for a skincare routine where the goal is to improve visible skin texture and tone without neglecting hydration and barrier care.

Anua Nano Retinol 0.3% Niacin Renewing Serum 30ml

A targeted renewing serum combining retinol, niacinamide and peptides to address multiple visible signs of ageing and uneven skin.

The formula is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, uneven tone, dark spots and post-breakout marks.

Anua uses Nano Liposome Technology as part of the serum's retinol delivery system. The active-focused formula is complemented by ingredients including Ceramide NP, Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol and multiple peptides.

The result is a multi-target treatment for skin that needs greater smoothness, clarity, refinement and a more even-looking complexion.

Anua Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream 50ml

A soothing moisturising cream formulated with 70% Heartleaf Extract to provide calming hydration and help maintain comfortable, moisturised skin.

The formula combines Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Panthenol, Ceramide NP and Cholesterol, creating a moisturising step focused on both soothing care and skin barrier support.

Its role within this duo is particularly important. After the targeted treatment step, the Heartleaf cream provides the hydration and barrier-focused care needed to complete the routine.

Together, the two products create:

Renew → Calm → Support
