For skin that feels tight, dehydrated, or is showing the first signs of fatigue, this cream provides deep, long-lasting moisture. Its advanced formula helps to repair a compromised skin barrier, making it an excellent choice for navigating Mauritius's varied climate—from humid outdoor heat to dry, air-conditioned interiors.

Dealing with persistent dryness or the feeling that your skin lacks plumpness can be frustrating. This intensive moisture cream is designed to address those concerns directly, delivering hydration that lasts.

• Who it's for: Primarily for Normal, Dry, Combination, and Dehydrated skin types. Also suitable for those with aging concerns or a weakened skin barrier.
• What it does: Provides up to 100 hours of deep hydration (Brand test), helps improve skin elasticity and firmness, and strengthens the skin's moisture barrier.
• Texture: A rich-feeling but non-greasy cream that absorbs well, leaving skin soft and plump.
• Key Ingredients: PDRN (from Salmon DNA), Multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, Niacinamide, Adenosine.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM): Always protect your skin during the day.

Note: Already own a similar moisturiser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. THIS PRODUCT (Anua PDRN Cream)
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Optional (for added benefits):

• Before the cream, you can apply a hydrating toner or a targeted serum (like Vitamin C for antioxidant protection).

Wait times: Allow 1-2 minutes for the cream to absorb before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser (Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant SPF: Oil Cleanser → Water-based Cleanser)
2. Hydrating Toner/Serum (Optional, but helps boost hydration)
3. THIS PRODUCT (Anua PDRN Cream)

Optional (for targeted treatment):

• Use an exfoliant (AHA/BHA) 1-3 times a week before your toner.
• If using a retinoid, you can apply it before this cream. Some prefer to apply the cream first to buffer potential irritation. Do not use retinoids and strong exfoliants on the same night.

• Amount: A pea-size amount is sufficient for the face. Add a little more for the neck.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning (before sunscreen) and evening (as the last step).
• Method: Gently smooth over the skin and pat lightly to aid absorption.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you have a very oily T-zone: Use a smaller amount or focus application on drier areas like the cheeks.
• If you have very dry skin or work in AC: Apply over a hydrating toner or serum to lock in extra moisture.
• If you have sensitive skin: This formula is generally gentle, but start by using it in your PM routine only for the first week to ensure compatibility.
• If you are using under makeup: Wait 1-2 minutes for it to fully absorb before applying primer or foundation. This helps prevent pilling and ensures a smooth base.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Patch testing before first use is recommended.

This cream is designed for consistent, daily use to maintain hydration and support the skin barrier.

• Daily: Use AM and PM as the moisturiser step in your routine.

Example week with alternating actives (PM focus):

• Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → Hydrating Toner → Anua PDRN Cream
• Tue: Retinoid → Anua PDRN Cream
• Wed: Hydrating Toner → Anua PDRN Cream (Recovery Night)
• Thu: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → Hydrating Toner → Anua PDRN Cream
• Fri: Retinoid → Anua PDRN Cream
• Sat/Sun: Hydrating Toner → Anua PDRN Cream (Recovery Nights)

Rule: Always use this cream to moisturise and support your skin, especially on nights you use strong actives like acids or retinoids.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, soft, and soothed. Tightness and dryness are relieved.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, the skin's moisture barrier becomes stronger. You may notice your skin feels less reactive and stays hydrated for longer throughout the day. The complexion appears plumper and dewier.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin texture appears smoother and elasticity may feel improved. The appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration is visibly reduced.

Individual results vary. Consistent use, especially alongside daily sun protection, is key to achieving the best results.

Myth: "If my skin is oily, I should skip moisturiser, especially in Mauritius's humidity."

Why This, Not That: Skipping moisturiser can make oily skin worse. When skin is dehydrated, it often overproduces oil to compensate. Using a suitable, non-comedogenic moisturiser like this one provides the necessary water-based hydration, helping to balance sebum production. It keeps the skin barrier healthy, which is crucial for preventing breakouts and irritation in a humid climate.

• ✅ Works Well With: Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Peptides, Ceramides, and most gentle hydrators. It is an excellent buffer to use with potentially irritating actives like Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal) and Exfoliating Acids (AHA, BHA, PHA).
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With: No major conflicts are known. However, as it is a rich cream, be mindful of layering too many heavy, occlusive products if you have oily or acne-prone skin to avoid feeling heavy or congested.
• ❌ Avoid On Area: Avoid direct contact with the eyes.

• Dry / Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides deep, lasting moisture and helps repair the lipid barrier to prevent water loss.
• Normal: Very good. A reliable daily moisturiser to maintain hydration and skin health.
• Combination: Good. Best applied all over, perhaps using a slightly smaller amount on the T-zone. It helps balance dehydrated-oily areas.
• Oily: Use with caution. While non-comedogenic, its rich texture may feel heavy for very oily skin types, especially during humid Mauritian summers. Best used as a night cream or in drier, air-conditioned environments.
• Sensitive: Very good. It is formulated without fragrance or essential oils and contains soothing ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.

• Dehydration and inner-skin dryness
• Compromised or weakened skin barrier
• Loss of elasticity and firmness
• Fine lines and wrinkles caused by dryness
• Dullness and lack of radiance
• General skin texture improvement

Key Actives Explained:

• Sodium DNA (PDRN): Polydeoxyonucleotide derived from salmon. It works at a cellular level to support skin repair, promote regeneration, boost collagen synthesis, and reduce inflammation. This helps improve skin elasticity and texture.
• Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid: A blend of 10 different types of Hyaluronic Acid with varying molecular weights. This allows for multi-layer hydration, plumping the skin from the surface down to deeper layers.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that brightens the skin, strengthens the barrier, regulates oil production, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Squalane: A stable, plant-derived emollient that is highly compatible with the skin's natural oils. It provides excellent moisture without feeling heavy and helps to prevent water loss.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a cell-communicating agent. It energizes the skin's surface, resulting in a smoother appearance and a visible reduction in fine lines.
• Madecassoside & Asiaticoside: Purified active compounds from Centella Asiatica that are potent soothing agents, helping to calm inflammation and support skin repair.

Who should use this: Ideal for individuals with dry, dehydrated, or maturing skin looking for intensive moisture and barrier support.

Who should use with caution: Those with very oily or acne-prone skin may find the texture too rich for daytime use in humid weather. It is formulated to be non-comedogenic, but individual responses can vary.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours. Monitor for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. Re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours for any delayed reactions.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and cleanse the area.

• Texture: A smooth, emerald-toned cream that feels rich but spreads easily without being heavy.
• Finish: Leaves a hydrated, plump, and subtly glowing finish without feeling greasy or sticky. Some users describe it as giving a "glass skin" look.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but expected to be in the skin-friendly range of 5.0 - 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Squalane and C14-22 Alcohols which may pose a risk for those with fungal acne. Patch testing is advised.

• Issue: The cream feels too heavy or greasy.

  Solution: You may be using too much. A pea-sized amount is sufficient. For oily or combination skin, try using it only at night, or apply a very thin layer during the day, focusing on drier areas.

• Issue: Product is pilling (rolling into little balls) under makeup or sunscreen.

  Solution: This usually happens from applying subsequent products too quickly. Wait at least 1-2 minutes for the cream to fully absorb before applying your next layer. Also, ensure you are not using an excessive amount of product.

• Humid Summers: For dry skin, this can be a perfect day and night moisturiser. For combination or oily skin, it may be best reserved for nighttime use to avoid feeling heavy in the high humidity.
• Drier 'Winters' / Air-Conditioned Environments: An excellent choice for all skin types to combat the drying effects of cooler air or constant air conditioning. It effectively seals in moisture and prevents dehydration.

"I have dry skin, but when I apply this cream after my serum, it gives me that coveted 'glass skin' look. The way it glides on and absorbs is fantastic... There are literally no downsides!"
- Hwahae review (2025)

"For combination dehydrated skin, it's not too oily or drying, just perfectly moisturizing... It's lightweight and hydrating, and I could use it morning and night without any issues. I recommend it as an everyday moisturizer."
- Hwahae review (2025)

Fair Caveat: One reviewer noted that while it's a great daily moisturiser, the PDRN content may not be high enough for those seeking intensive, targeted PDRN treatment results, comparing it to more concentrated serums. (Hwahae review, 2025)

Q: What is PDRN and is it safe?
