Product Information
| Product name | Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cleansing Foam, 5.07 fl oz |
|---|---|
| Brand | Anua |
| ASIN | B0FPQNL9K7 |
| Category path | Beauty & Personal Care > Skin Care > Face > Cleansers > Washes |
| Size / format | 150 ml / 5.07 fl oz |
| Marketplace | Amazon US, U.S. delivery ZIP 10001, native USD |
| Snapshot date | 2026-10-31 |
Anua's PDRN line takes the nucleotide fragment the brand calls PDRN - listed in the formula as Sodium DNA - and pairs it with a multi-weight hyaluronic complex inside a rinse-off cleanser. The format is a 150 ml tube delivering a paste-to-foam texture: the paste is worked into a lather with water, or applied to dry skin for a minute as a wash-off moisture mask before rinsing.
The surfactant base is entirely amino-acid and glucoside based, with no sulfate ester anywhere in the roster, and the listing states a mildly acidic pH of 6. That chemistry is what the listing sells against: a cleanser that removes makeup residue and pore impurities without the tight, stripped feeling that alkaline foams leave behind. The claim set is hydration, barrier support and pore deep-cleansing; the formula supports the first two with a large humectant block and the third with the cleansing system plus a botanical tail.
What the listing claims
- Deep hydration - PDRN (salmon DNA) and hyaluronic acid, positioned for dry and sensitive skin that should not feel stripped after rinsing.
- No irritation for sensitive skin - a mildly acidic pH of 6 and a cushiony foam that the listing frames as barrier support.
- 2-in-1 pack-to-foam care - beyond a daily wash, applied to dry skin for one minute as a moisture mask before lathering and rinsing.
- Pore deep cleansing - claimed full removal of makeup residue and pore impurities as the second step of a double cleanse.
- How to use - dispense, lather with water, massage over the face, rinse; designed to pair with the wider PDRN line.

What customers say, in aggregate
Customers find this cleanser effective and single out its mousse-like foam, which leaves skin smooth and moisturised without weight. They describe it as gentle on sensitive skin - one reviewer notes it does not irritate extra-dry patches, another that it is unscented - and several say a small amount goes a long way for the price.

Product Ingredients
51 ingredients were merged into one roster. Each ingredient is graded on comedogenic risk, irritation risk and an overall safety grade, all read low is safer (0 or 1 is the benign end; 3 and above is the caution band). Level assignment takes the highest of the three grades, so a single severe flag is never averaged away.
What's inside
A "not" prefix is a failed claim, not a marketing variant: it means the formula does not meet that standard.

"Not rated" is missing data, not a clean bill of health. Most commodity ingredients carry no grade in either database.

Data Notes
- The listing page rendered the aggregate rating, the star histogram and the AI review summary, but no individual review cards and no customer-uploaded photographs. No review text is quoted anywhere in this report; the aspect table and the summary paragraph are the published substitutes, and every image in the gallery is official listing photography rather than a buyer photo.
- Prices were read against a U.S. delivery address (ZIP 10001) in native USD. No figure has been converted from another currency.
- The all-time price table is all-time by construction: the tracker's window parameter rescales the chart only and never changes the summary values, so no period-specific low or high is claimed.
- The brand markets the active as PDRN while the INCI roster names it Sodium DNA at position 23. Both labels are reproduced as published; they refer to the same entry.
- Two of the five caution-level claims fail on the formula rather than on brand policy: the product is not fragrance-free and carries one precautionary pore-clogging flag in its botanical tail.
- Ratings, prices and ranks move between captures; figures here describe the snapshot date only.
- Ingredient grades are community-database aggregates used as reference, not a regulatory or dermatological verdict. Formulas are reformulated without notice; the packaging wins.
- No reviewer name, handle, profile link or identifier appears anywhere in this report.
