How it works
The 8 Hyaluronic Acid Catechin Calming Pad 185ml/ is a product. The humectant it is built around is Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, named twenty-fourth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide and Caffeine, so the humectant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product Anua sells in Korea, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and all.

Key actives
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acidhumectant
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one. It is the entry this product is named after, and the list carries it.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named ninth on this product's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamideactive
A synthetic cooling agent that gives the cool feeling of menthol without the mint smell. It is used where a formula wants the sensation but not the scent. It is named seventeenth on this product's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Caffeineactive
Caffeine constricts small blood vessels near the surface, which is why eye products use it for the look of puffiness and shadow. It is water soluble and works only while it is on the skin. The panel names it twenty-first on this product's list, beside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Ascorbic Acidantioxidant
Ascorbic Acid is pure vitamin C, the most researched form and also the least stable: it needs a low pH and airtight packaging to stay active. It is an antioxidant used for the look of dullness and uneven tone. The panel names it thirty-ninth on this product's list, beside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Is this the Korean-market product or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and all. We match this product to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid?
Niacinamide, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide and Caffeine. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Ascorbic Acid, Coptis Japonica Root Extract and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract.

How to use
- Use one pad after cleansing, sweeping outward from the centre of the face with the textured side against the skin.
- Flip to the smooth side and press it over the cheeks or anywhere that still feels dry, so nothing is wasted.
- Leave the skin slightly damp and go straight into your serum, since a damp surface makes the next layer spread further.
- Do not scrub with the textured side or drag it across the eyelids, because pressure is what turns a sweep into irritation.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this product on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid on the list.
- Introduce this product on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid rather than to three changes at once.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic It has also been proven that caffeine stimulates lipolysis, which Lupo et al postulated may contribute to improvements in lower eyelid sagging and puffiness.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
