Anua Hyaluronic Acid + Catechin Cooling Gel Cream is a lightweight watery gel moisturizer designed to care for skin that needs intensive hydration without heaviness, moisture and oil balance, smoother skin texture, and improved appearance of pores, with a refreshing cooling sensation that helps prepare the skin before makeup. Its formula is based on ANUA 10HYAL-LAYER™ complex, made of 10 types of hyaluronic acid with different molecular sizes to help supply the skin’s surface layers with moisture and maintain it, making it especially suitable for oily, combination skin and skin suffering from inner dryness with shine or surface oiliness.

The cream combines green tea-derived catechin EGCG and plant-based Soothing Cooler® technology to give the skin a cool and comfortable feeling, along with PHA, LHA, Niacinamide, and Zinc PCA to help smooth the skin surface, improve the appearance of pores, and regulate the appearance of oiliness and shine. Panthenol, Ceramide NP, Polyglutamic Acid, and multiple hyaluronic acid derivatives also support skin hydration and comfort, while its lightweight gel texture provides a refreshing, fast-absorbing, non-heavy finish that helps make the skin smoother and more ready for sunscreen and makeup application.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends using a moderate amount and spreading it in a thin, even layer; its gel texture is designed to provide refreshing hydration without needing a thick layer.
• For skin suffering from inner dryness with shine or oily secretions, use it regularly as a moisturizing step instead of skipping moisturizer, because oily skin also needs good moisture balance.
• For a cooler and more refreshing feeling in hot weather, the cream can be stored in the refrigerator according to Anua’s instructions, while avoiding placing it in the freezer or exposing it to extreme temperatures.
• Before makeup, Beauty Time recommends applying a light layer of the cream and waiting until it absorbs well to help achieve a smoother and less sticky surface before applying sunscreen and makeup.
• It can be used during a home-care session with a Gua Sha tool or some gel-compatible skincare devices to give the skin glide and a refreshing sensation during massage, while following the instructions of the device used.
• Because the formula contains PHA and LHA, it is preferable not to overuse other strong exfoliants if the skin is easily irritated or starts showing signs of dryness.
• If you use retinol or other exfoliating acids, the Beauty Time team recommends monitoring skin tolerance and reducing the frequency of other exfoliating ingredients when needed.
• For very sensitive skin or skin reactive to botanical fragrances, it is preferable to perform a patch test first; the formula contains several aromatic botanical oils and limonene.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly in the morning, especially within a routine that contains exfoliating ingredients.
• To achieve the best balance between hydration, texture smoothness, and controlling the feeling of stickiness, Beauty Time emphasizes the importance of maintaining a simple and balanced routine without overusing exfoliants.
