Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser 150ml

The cleanser that hydrates as it cleans. The Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser is a breakthrough Korean foam cleanser that completely redefines what a daily face wash can do — a mild facial cleanser formulated with 8 kinds of Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol to instantly hydrate skin and replenish the skin barrier, while deeply cleansing pores without stripping skin.  Clinically proven to increase skin hydration by 107% immediately after use, with 72% moisture retention still measurable 48 hours later — and 89.07% improvement in sunscreen cleansing efficacy in a single use.  This is the second cleanser step your double cleanse has been waiting for.

A cream texture that melts into soft foam upon application with water, leaving skin with a refreshing and hydrating finish without sticky residue  — gentle enough for sensitive skin, effective enough to thoroughly remove SPF, sebum, and daily impurities in one cleanse.

Why it works:

• 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid (Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate) — hydrates by attracting and holding water at multiple skin depths simultaneously  — from the deepest dermal layers to the surface, ensuring the skin is actively gaining moisture throughout the cleanse rather than losing it

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — boosts hydration and relieves dry, tight skin  while conditioning and repairing the skin barrier with every wash — the reason skin feels comfortable and soft immediately after rinsing without needing to rush to apply toner

• Zinc PCA — helps regulate sebum secretion and reduce redness, while controlling the production of oil to maintain water-oil balance  — keeping oily and combination skin clear and balanced without over-drying

• Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein — supports skin elasticity and repair, boosting skin hydration and refining skin texture  — an amino acid-rich protein complex that conditions the skin during cleansing, improving overall resilience over time

• Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract — a plant-derived natural saponin that acts as a gentle, skin-compatible surfactant and humectant, contributing to the formula's soft lather while simultaneously conditioning the skin

• 4 amino acid-based surfactants (Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Lauryl Hydroxysultaine, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate) — among the mildest and most skin-compatible cleansing agents available, derived from coconut and amino acids — delivering thorough cleansing power without disrupting the skin's natural lipid barrier or acid mantle

Suitable for: All skin types — ideal for dry, sensitive, and combination skin · Oily & sebum-prone skin · Post-double cleanse second step · Daily AM and PM use · Fragrance-free · Made in Korea 🇰🇷

Why Seoulma recommends it:

The second cleanser step in a double cleanse is where most K-Beauty routines either succeed or quietly fail — and the choice of water-based cleanser matters more than most people realise. A second cleanser that strips the skin undoes the gentleness of the first step and sends the skin into the rest of the routine already compromised. The Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser solves that problem so completely that customers consistently tell us it's the first cleanser that has ever left their skin feeling better after washing than before.

The 107% hydration increase immediately after use is the number that stops people when they first see it — and it's worth understanding what it actually means. Most cleansers leave the skin at a hydration deficit after washing, which is why the toner step is widely considered necessary to restore what the cleanser removed. Anua's formula deposits more moisture into the skin during the cleanse than the water in the wash removes — so the skin you pat dry after using this cleanser is genuinely more hydrated than the skin that went in. 

The eight-type Hyaluronic Acid system in a rinse-off cleanser is the engineering behind that result, and it's a genuinely unusual formulation decision. Most brands save multi-molecular HA for serums and moisturisers on the basis that it rinses off too quickly in a cleanser to make a difference.

The Zinc PCA is the other standout for our oilier-skinned customers. Managing sebum production through a cleanser rather than through harsh stripping means the skin's oil balance is regulated gently and consistently rather than swinging between stripped and overcompensating. Customers with combination and oily skin who have always used stronger cleansers to manage shine consistently tell us this is the product that finally broke that cycle — the skin produces less sebum because it isn't being stripped into overproduction every morning.
