Anua Hyaluronic Acid Catechin Pore Smoothing Cooling Gel Cream 80ml

Cool Hydration. Smoother-Looking Pores. Fresh Skin.

Refresh your skincare routine with the Anua Hyaluronic Acid + Catechin Pore Smoothing Cooling Gel Cream, a lightweight Korean gel moisturizer designed to hydrate skin while helping maintain a balanced oil-to-water appearance.

The formula combines 10 different forms of Hyaluronic Acid in varying molecular sizes to provide multi-level moisture care. Alongside Hyaluronic Acid, Green Tea Catechin (EGCG) provides antioxidant-focused skincare, while Niacinamide helps support the appearance of balanced, refined skin.

Its sherbet-like gel texture melts comfortably into the skin and provides a noticeable cooling sensation. The formula is particularly suited to people who experience surface oiliness while still feeling dehydrated underneath.

What makes it different?

10 Hyaluronic Acids + Catechin + Niacinamide + Panthenol + Ceramide NP

This combination gives the moisturizer a strong balance of hydration, oil-balance care, pore appearance and skin-comfort benefits.

It also contains Gluconolactone (PHA) and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) for gentle exfoliating and pore-care support.
