Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Gentle Gel Cleanser 30 ingredients
Love this gel cleanser. It is so hydrating and doesn’t strip the skin, but I feel squeaky clean. I use this twice a day & I have Rosacea & acne/fungal acne prone skin. I was concerned about the citric acid but I haven't had any negative reactions or noticed any acne as a result of using this product.
I also have a sensitivity to high strengths of butylene glycol but this one does not irritate Show more
Love this cleanser so much! It has fast become my HG! It feels so comfortable and soothing, no feel of stripping at all and it gives my skin the most beautiful glow and softness. It also has no niacinamide (lol!)... I had way too many products in my routine with that ingredient.

It is not a harsh cleanser. I use it once a day at night. It cleans spf and dirt by just one wash.
