ANUA Expands UK Presence With Launch Into More Than 40 Space NK Stores
Korean skincare brand ANUA has launched into more than 40 Space NK stores and online, bringing a 35-product assortment to the retailer as it continues to expand its UK presence.
Among the new arrivals is the Collagen Retinol Refining Gua Sha Cream, which combines encapsulated retinol, hydrolysed collagen and peptides with a built-in metal gua sha applicator for use across the jawline, neck and décolletage. The assortment also includes the PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream and PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum Mask, with formulas focused on hydration and skin barrier support. All three products had sold out in-store following the launch, with the Gua Sha Cream selling out first.
Zoe Mezerette, UK Account Manager at ANUA, said: “We are more than excited to launch ANUA at Space NK this September. Since launching in the UK two years ago, we have continued to grow our presence and build meaningful connections with UK customers, making this launch an exciting next step in our journey.
“We see this as an opportunity to introduce more customers to ANUA's philosophy of gentle, effective skincare, while bringing our product stories and hero ingredients to life in a new retail environment. We look forward to working closely with Space NK to create a thoughtfully curated assortment and explore new ways to introduce ANUA to a wider audience. As we continue to strengthen our presence in the UK, we are excited for Space NK to become another destination where customers can discover and experience ANUA.”
For Space NK, the addition reflects customer interest in gentle skincare that addresses specific concerns, with an emphasis on ingredients and barrier support.

Anua has become a standout name within K-beauty, earning a global following through its effective, ingredient-led approach and clinically informed, targeted solutions for a range of skin concerns. As our customers increasingly seek gentle yet results-driven skincare, Anua's philosophy and product portfolio perfectly complement our existing assortment. Combining carefully selected ingredients with a focus on skin health and barrier support, the brand delivers accessible solutions that are both effective and easy to incorporate into everyday routines.
