Global skincare brand Anua, developed by The Founders JAPAN Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), is launching a new product, "Hyaluronic Catechin Cool Gel Cream," from its catechin series, which focuses on naturally derived ingredients to address oily skin and inner dryness. It will be pre-released on Anua's official Qoo10 shop starting April 1, 2026 (Wednesday).
This product is a gel cream that combines intensive hydration from 10 types of hyaluronic acid*¹ with green tea-derived catechin*² to balance the skin's oil and water levels, while a refreshing cooling sensation addresses skin heat. It suppresses stickiness and smoothly blends into the skin, preparing it to be smooth before makeup application, leading to a better makeup finish.
Furthermore, Anua's unique moisturizing complex "ANUA 10HYAL-LAYER™*³" delivers moisture deep into the stratum corneum, targeting inner dryness. By combining naturally derived patented ingredient Soothing Cooler®*⁴ and catechin*², it provides a pleasant cooling sensation while refining the skin's texture.
In the same series, the "Hyaluronic Catechin Sheet Mask Pack" will now offer a new 7-sheet pack, in addition to the existing 10-sheet pack, making it more suitable for daily use. Along with the "Hyaluronic Catechin Calming Pad (110 sheets)," which temporarily became a hot topic on social media, Anua will strengthen its skincare proposals with a wide range of products from daily care to intensive care.

■Development Background
In recent years, with rising temperatures and humidity, skin concerns such as "oily yet dry skin" and "makeup crumbling easily"—a combination of "inner dryness x excess sebum"—have increased. Especially for morning skincare, functions like "non-stickiness," "not interfering with makeup," and "balancing skin heat" are highly sought after.
To meet these needs, Anua developed a gel cream focusing on three aspects: hydration, sebum control, and cooling*¹.
