Three Clear Choices for Editing an Evening Routine
The practical differences are in the directions: a cleansing oil for dry hands, a serum step and a cream with an adjustable gel-to-capsule ratio.
Official directions offer a useful way to distinguish these three formats before adding them to your evening. We have not used the products. This edit suggests starting with the cleansing oil, adding the serum if you want that step, then finishing with the capsule cream; each can also be considered separately.
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil
This is the rinse-off choice. Anua directs you to dispense it onto dry hands, roll it gently over the entire face as if massaging, then rinse several times with lukewarm water. It was No. 32 in the Cleansing category of the Olive Young sales ranking on September 22, 2026.
The ingredient list names sunflower seed oil, macadamia seed oil and heartleaf extract. Anua also notes that the formula contains no artificial colorants, so its color may fade depending on storage.

Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum
If you want a serum step, Anua directs applying an appropriate amount evenly and allowing it to absorb. The ingredient list includes hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid at 29,049 ppm, sodium hyaluronate at 800 ppm and sodium DNA at 100 ppm, as well as several other named forms of hyaluronic acid.
The Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety reviewed it as a functional cosmetic that helps with brightening and wrinkle improvement. Its best-placed listing was No. 1 in the Skincare category of the Olive Young sales ranking on September 22, 2026.
Observed Olive Young Korea packages included either a 30 mL refill pouch or a Cinnamoroll pouch. Bundle contents may differ outside Korea. 2026-09-21

Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream
The defining detail is its adjustable mix of pink capsules and clear gel. At the final skincare step, Medicube directs combining them on the back of the hand and smoothing the mixture along the skin’s texture. The brand recommends more gel for a lighter feel and more capsules for a greater sense of moisturization and elasticity.
Its ingredient list names glycerin, sodium DNA, ceramide NP and sodium hyaluronate. It was No. 84 in the Skincare category of the Olive Young sales ranking on September 22, 2026.
An observed Olive Young Korea package included two 4.5 g units and one ampoule mask. Bundle contents may differ outside Korea. 2026-09-21

Choose according to the step you want to add or replace. The oil is used with dry hands and rinsed away; the serum lists several forms of hyaluronic acid and carries a Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety functional-cosmetic review; the cream lets you change the balance of gel and capsules each time you apply it.
