If your skin feels sticky, overheated, or congested due to tropical humidity and constant air conditioning, this lightweight cooling gel cream delivers immediate hydration while helping to smooth the look of enlarged pores.

1) Cleanser — quick wash; clean base.

2) Anua HYALURONIC ACID CATECHIN PORE SMOOTHING COOLING GEL CREAM 80ML — see amount in “How to Use”.

3) Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM) — seal & protect.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3–4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner/Essence (optional; adds slip) → 3) Anua HYALURONIC ACID CATECHIN PORE SMOOTHING COOLING GEL CREAM 80ML → 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+

Optional: Targeted Serum (niacinamide/antioxidant) if fading spots/oil; Moisturiser only if skin feels tight or SPF isn’t hydrating enough.

Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup.

Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if makeup/water-resistant SPF: oil → water) → 2) Anua HYALURONIC ACID CATECHIN PORE SMOOTHING COOLING GEL CREAM 80ML → 3) Moisturiser/Oil (lock in hydration if needed)

Optional: Exfoliant 1–3×/week PM only (don’t use same night as strong retinoids); Sleeping Pack 2–3×/week as last step if very dry.

Texture rule: thinnest → thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: Pea-size for face; + half-pea for neck.
• Apply to: face & neck unless noted; avoid immediate eye area unless eye-safe.
• Method: smooth → light pat.
• Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup; 5–10 min before heavy oils.
• Frequency: start once daily; increase to AM+PM if tolerated.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Thin layer; skip heavy cream if this hydrates enough.
• Very dry/AC? Layer over hydrating toner; add a light oil after this at night.
• Sensitive/reactive? Start PM-only 3–7 days; increase slowly.
• Under makeup? Thin layer; wait 1–2 min; then SPF/primer to reduce pilling.

Watchouts: Pilling = too much product or short waits; sensitivity = stacking strong actives; “no results” = inconsistent SPF.

Safety: Avoid broken/irritated skin. Stop if burning rash occurs. Teens: keep to cleanser–moisturiser–SPF; avoid strong actives unless clinician-guided.

Daily: AM and PM as per routine maps to maintain lightweight hydration and pore care.

Mauritius note: In heat/humidity, keep layers thin; this cooling gel cream may replace heavier morning moisturisers.

Safety: If irritation occurs, reduce frequency to 2×/week, switch to soothing nights, and follow patch-test guidance.

Immediate: Skin feels instantly refreshed, cooled, and hydrated with a non-sticky finish.

2–4 weeks: Reduced surface oiliness, calmer skin texture, and a more balanced moisture-sebum level.

4–8+ weeks: Smoother-looking pores and sustained hydration balance even under warm weather conditions.

Hydration: Safer than heavy, occlusive winter creams in a tropical climate that trap sweat and clog pores.

Cooling: Relying on a formulation with soothing botanical extracts—avoiding DIY ice cubes or harsh alcohol toners that damage the skin barrier.

Works with: Hydrating toners, Niacinamide serums, gentle sunscreens, and light gel formulas.

Use carefully: Strong chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) if your skin is easily sensitized; patch test when combining with high-percentage actives.

Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types seeking lightweight moisture without a heavy film.

Dehydrated skin types living in humid climates who dislike heavy, greasy creams.

Enlarged pores and excess sebum production.

Dehydration combined with skin overheating or sticky discomfort from humidity.
