ANUA Hyaluronic Acid & Catechin Cooling Gel Cream is a lightweight gel moisturizer designed for skin that needs refreshing hydration without heaviness, along with care to improve the appearance of pores, shine, and uneven texture. Its formula features the ANUA 10HYAL-LAYER™ complex, which combines 10 types of hyaluronic acid to support multi-level skin hydration, along with EGCG green tea-derived catechin and the botanical Soothing Cooler® complex to provide a cool and comfortable sensation suitable for hot climates and skin prone to oiliness or internal dryness.
