Anua
Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturizing Cream 60ml + 30ml
For skin that is thirsty again by noon.
Squalane second, Sodium DNA seventh, ten hyaluronates across the pair — and the 30 ml refill is already in the box.
Cushiony, sinks without a film.
What this cream does
A 60 ml cream with a 30 ml companion, carrying Sodium DNA high on the list with ten forms of hyaluronic acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Niacinamide and Squalane, formulated as a light-textured daily moisturiser.
Sodium DNA at position seven
PDRN is usually a tail ingredient — present, but far down the label. Here Sodium DNA sits seventh, above Hydrolyzed Collagen and the first hyaluronate. Position is not proof of percentage, but on a 48-entry list it puts the material in the top sixth rather than the bottom third, and that is worth noting.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- Sodium DNA
- Salmon-derived nucleotides — the ingredient sold as PDRN. Pulls water into the surface and holds it there.
- Squalane
- Saturated hydrocarbon, hydrogenated squalene. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Collagen broken into fragments small enough to stay dissolved. It holds water at the surface — it does not become your collagen, and nothing applied to skin does.
- Niacinamide
- Vitamin B3. Studied for evening out the look of tone, for the look of pores, and for breakout-prone skin — which is why it turns up in so much of this catalogue.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it.
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
- Cross-linked hyaluronate. The cross-linking stops it washing away as fast as the plain form, so it keeps working on the surface for longer.
- Dimethylsilanol Hyaluronate
- Silanol-modified hyaluronate. Pulls water into the surface and holds it there.
- Madecassoside
- Triterpene glycoside from Centella asiatica. Used to calm irritation.
- Asiaticoside
- The best studied of the centella triterpenes. Used to calm the look of redness.
- Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract
- Extract of Centella asiatica leaf. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin.
- Adenosine
- Purine nucleoside. One of the few ingredients Korea approves a wrinkle-care claim for.
- PCA Dimethicone
- PCA-modified silicone. Softens by filling the gaps between surface cells.
How the formula works together
Squalane and two silicones make up almost the whole oil phase — no butter, no plant oil, no fatty acid stack. That is what gives the cream its light, fast-absorbing character and what the brand means by an emerald cream that bursts rather than sits.
Ten hyaluronate entries run through the list at different molecular weights and modifications, with Hydrolyzed Collagen and Sodium DNA among them. The centella pair and a neem-and-turmeric botanical set carry the calming side. Forty-eight ingredients, no fragrance and no essential oil.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin types. The light texture suits oily and combination skin that still feels tight.
How to use it
- After serum, take a small amount and press over the face.
- Apply while skin is damp; the formula is humectant-led.
- Use morning and night. Keep the 30 ml for travel.
