How it works
The 8 Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Gentle Gel Cleanser is a 150ml gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The humectant it is built around is Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, named fifteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Ceramide NP, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein and Squalane, 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 gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. Anua sells this Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid gel cleanser in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, the humectant this gel cleanser is built around
- Ceramide NP on the same list, a barrier lipid
- Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein on the same list, a protein
- Squalane on the same list, an emollient
- Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate further down the same list
- Potassium Hyaluronate further down the same list
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 gel cleanser is named after, and the list carries it.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. The panel names it twenty-second on this gel cleanser's list, beside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteinprotein
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein is plant protein cut into water-soluble fragments. It forms a light conditioning film that holds water at the surface. It is named nineteenth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Squalaneemollient
Squalane is the stable, saturated version of squalene, a lipid human skin already makes. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly, does not oxidise, and is one of the few oils widely considered safe for blemish-prone skin. The panel names it sixteenth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Ectoinhumectant
Ectoin is a small molecule that microbes in salt flats and hot springs make to survive extreme conditions. In skincare it holds water tightly around itself, which is why it appears in formulas aimed at reactive, easily dehydrated skin. It is named seventeenth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid?
Ceramide NP, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein and Squalane. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser'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: Ectoin, Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate.

How to use
- Wet your face and work a small amount of the gel between damp palms before applying.
- Massage gently over the face for about thirty seconds, avoiding the eye area, then rinse with lukewarm water.
- Move into your toner while skin is still damp, rather than letting it air dry first.
- Do not scrub with a cleansing brush or rough cloth here, since the low foam texture is built for a gentle hand rather than mechanical friction.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this gel cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid on the list.
- Introduce this gel cleanser 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.

Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
