Key benefits
- Carries Sodium Hyaluronate, which is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, one of the most efficient water-binding molecules used in skincare.
- Carries Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, which is a smaller-molecule form of hyaluronic acid that sits closer to the surface than the higher-weight form.
- Carries Gluconolactone, which is a PHA, the gentlest class of exfoliating acid, working on the surface with less potential for sensitivity than an AHA.
- Carries Allantoin, which is a mild conditioning agent frequently paired with actives to keep the overall feel comfortable.
- Formulated as a gel moisturizer, matched to its step in a Korean AM/PM routine rather than asked to do every job at once.
- Is the Korean-market formula from Manyo Factory, with intact Korean-market batch coding rather than a US-reformulated substitute.
Key actives
Sodium Hyaluronatewater-holding hydration
Is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, one of the most efficient water-binding molecules used in skincare. It is the workhorse hydrator behind the plump, dewy finish Korean essences and ampoules are known for.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acidlayered-weight hydration
Is a smaller-molecule form of hyaluronic acid that sits closer to the surface than the higher-weight form. Korean toners and essences often carry two or three hyaluronic acid weights together so the surface holds water at multiple depths at once.
GluconolactonePHA-family gentle exfoliation
Is a pha, the gentlest class of exfoliating acid, working on the surface with less potential for sensitivity than an aha. PHA acids are the entry point Korean formulas use for exfoliation on skin that reacts to AHAs or BHAs, and this list carries one.
Allantoinsurface calming
Is a mild conditioning agent frequently paired with actives to keep the overall feel comfortable. It is a staple soothing ingredient across Korean formulas and rarely causes a reaction on its own.
Dipropylene Glycolsolvent and humectant support
Is a humectant and solvent that helps carry the formula's other ingredients and keeps the texture from feeling tacky. It is one of the most common supporting ingredients in Korean formulas, chosen for texture and stability rather than as an active.
How to use
- Use it as the light moisturizer step, AM and PM, after serum, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.
When in a routine should I use this gel moisturizer?
Use it as the light moisturizer step, AM and PM, after serum. Placing a gel moisturizer out of order is the most common reason a Korean routine feels like it is not working, so keep this one at its own step rather than doubling it up with a product built for a different stage. Give it a few weeks at that placement before judging the result.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This is sourced for the Korean market rather than reformulated for US shelves. Manyo Factory sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Where does this formula come from?
It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
What does Sodium Hyaluronate do in this formula?
Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, one of the most efficient water-binding molecules used in skincare. It is the workhorse hydrator behind the plump, dewy finish Korean essences and ampoules are known for. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
What does Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid do in this formula?
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is a smaller-molecule form of hyaluronic acid that sits closer to the surface than the higher-weight form. Korean toners and essences often carry two or three hyaluronic acid weights together so the surface holds water at multiple depths at once. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.

How it works
Pure Aqua Peel Gel Cleanser 120ml is built around Sodium Hyaluronate, which is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, one of the most efficient water-binding molecules used in skincare. It is the workhorse hydrator behind the plump, dewy finish Korean essences and ampoules are known for. Alongside it, the formula carries Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Gluconolactone and Allantoin, each doing a supporting job rather than competing for the same result. As a gel moisturizer, it is formulated for its own step in a Korean AM/PM routine, so it works with the rest of a layered routine instead of trying to replace it. Sourced for the Korean market, it is the same formula sold in Korea rather than a US-shelf substitute, with its intact Korean-market batch coding carried through.
Worth knowing
- Introduce it two to three nights a week at first and watch how skin responds before using it nightly.
- Layer sunscreen the following morning, since any exfoliating step raises how visible the sun's effects can be.

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 Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
