Product details

A lilac tube of Anua Collagen Retinol Refining Gua Sha Cream standing on its gua sha head, beside chamomile flowers and violet beads

Firm + sculpt

A collagen and retinol neck cream with a gua sha head built into the tube, for a firmer-looking jawline and neck.

Anua made this cream for the skin skincare often skips: jaw, neck and décolleté. Encapsulated retinol, collagen and peptides firm and smooth, while a cooling, metal-lined gua sha head lets you massage it in straight from the tube.
