Anua PDRN 100 Hyaluronic Acid Glow Pad

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-11

What is this product?

A 60 sheet hydrating pad holding 180 mL of a humectant essence, registered in Korea as a brightening and wrinkle-improvement functional cosmetic. Read the label before the name. The two ingredients that carry those registered functions are niacinamide at fourth and adenosine at seventeenth, while the molecules the name leads with are printed with their concentrations attached and those concentrations are small: sodium DNA at 100 ppm, and three hyaluronic acid forms at about 5 ppm each. The list runs 45 items with no exfoliating acid, no drying alcohol, no fragrance entry and no fixed oil, and its thickener is xanthan gum with no film-forming polymer. No pH and no test data are published.

What makes it different?

Two things. First, the concentration disclosures cut against the marketing: the brand prints a number next to its headline actives rather than leaving them silent, and the numbers it prints are 100 ppm and about 5 ppm. Second, the working formula is a niacinamide and adenosine pad wearing a PDRN and hyaluronic acid name, and the registration line on the page confirms which pair the brand actually filed on.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 4 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 글리세레스-25피씨에이아이소스테아레이트, 레시틴
