The headline

Kendall Jenner's skin care routine is now an Anua routine, officially

Kendall Jenner's skin care routine is genuinely news again in 2026 for a specific reason: Anua confirmed her as its first-ever global brand ambassador, a deal reported by both PageSix and InStyle in June 2026. Her named Anua picks are the Azelaic Acid 10% Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum, the PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray, and the Collagen Retinol Refining Gua Sha Cream — three products she now credits by name, layered into a routine that also leans on a gentle cleanser, vitamin C serum, moisturizer, and daily broad-spectrum SPF.

InStyle quoted her directly: "I first discovered the double cleanser, and it has changed my skin. I also love their Azelaic green serum and PDRN which gives me a dewy glow." That line is the anchor fact for this entire routine log — everything below is reported, not guessed at.

The deal

What the ambassador announcement actually confirms

PageSix broke the ambassador news in June 2026, and InStyle followed with the routine detail and the direct quote above. Both outlets describe this as Anua's first global ambassador role of this scale, which is why the specific product names matter more than usual: this is not a vague celebrity-skincare rumor, it is a named partnership with named products.

The double cleanse she mentions lines up with Anua's own cleansing-step language, and the "Azelaic green serum" nickname points directly at the Azelaic Acid 10% Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum — a redness-soothing formula, not a general-purpose brightening product. The PDRN line she credits for a "dewy glow" is the Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray, a mist-format layer rather than a leave-on treatment serum.

Beyond Anua

The rest of her real routine, unbranded

Outside the Anua deal, Time, Elle, and TeenVogue have each reported a consistent core to Kendall Jenner's routine: a gentle cleanser, a vitamin C serum, a moisturizer, and daily broad-spectrum SPF as a non-negotiable step. Vogue and TheSun have separately covered her use of gua sha with a facial oil applied first, which tracks with the Collagen Retinol Refining Gua Sha Cream serving double duty as both a slip layer and a treatment step.

Elle and Time have also reported that she is thorough about makeup removal before bed, which matters for a gua sha-and-serum routine like this one — residue left under a gua sha tool can drag rather than glide.

Backstory

Her skin history, for context

This is not Kendall Jenner's first skincare ambassador role. Wikipedia, Euphoriazine, and Elle have documented her history with acne and her 2019 ambassador deal with Proactiv, an acne-focused brand. The Anua deal in 2026 is a different kind of partnership — calming and glow-focused rather than acne-treatment focused — which is worth knowing if you're trying to map her past routine onto her current one.

Criteria

How we're grounding this routine log

Every product name and quote above is checked against named reporting, not inferred from a photo or a general "celebrities love K-beauty" trend piece.

  • Only named products from PageSix, InStyle, Vogue, Time, Elle, TeenVogue, and Wikipedia are treated as confirmed.
  • The Anua ambassador announcement date (June 2026) is used as the freshness anchor for this 2026 update.
  • Non-Anua routine facts are kept separate from the Anua deal so the two don't get blurred together.
  • History (Proactiv, acne) is labeled as history, not as her current regimen.
