  • Anua – Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner



    Review

    The Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner has become a cult favorite in the K-Beauty world for good reason. With a high concentration of 77% Heartleaf extract (Houttuynia cordata), it’s specially designed to calm irritation, reduce redness, and strengthen the skin barrier. The watery, lightweight texture absorbs quickly without leaving any stickiness, making it perfect for layering or using as a daily refresher. Many users praise how it immediately soothes sensitivity, balances oil production, and preps the skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers. Because it’s alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and formulated with minimal ingredients, it’s especially suitable for sensitive, acne-prone, or easily reactive skin types. With consistent use, the toner helps improve overall skin clarity, reduce breakouts, and promote a healthier, calmer complexion. While some may find it too light on its own if they’re looking for heavy hydration, it works beautifully as a first step in both simple and multi-step routines. Overall, this toner is a reliable go-to for anyone wanting a gentle, soothing formula that delivers visible results without irritation.

  • Anua – Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam



    Review

    The Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is a gentle yet powerful cleanser that combines soothing and clarifying ingredients to deliver fresh, balanced skin. Infused with Heartleaf extract and quercetinol, it helps calm irritation and reduce redness while protecting the skin with antioxidant benefits. The formula also contains 0.5% BHA (salicylic acid) to unclog pores and control excess oil, making it ideal for those with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin. To prevent dryness, it’s enriched with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which lock in moisture and leave the skin soft after cleansing. The texture is a light, foamy lather with a subtle graininess that gently exfoliates without being harsh, and it has little to no noticeable fragrance, making it suitable for daily use. Users will love how it deeply cleans without stripping, leaving pores visibly clearer and skin feeling refreshed, especially when paired with a cleansing oil in a double-cleanse routine. While those with very sensitive skin should patch test due to the BHA, this cleanser is a great choice if you want clean, hydrated skin with minimized pores and a smoother texture.


    How to Use

    • Apply a proper amount to make foam and gently massage on the face and remove with tapid water.

    Cautions

    • If you experience any unexpected symptoms or side effects, such as red rashes, swelling, or itching, due to direct sunlight when using or after using cosmetics, consult a doctor.
    • Refrain from using it on such areas like wounds, etc.
    • Precautions for storage and handling
      • Keep out of reach of children.
      • Store away from direct sunlight.
    • Rinse with water when it gets into your eyes and consult a specialist if there are any symptoms of abnormalities.
    • Do not use it on infants and children under 3 years of age.

  • Anua – Peach 70+ Niacin Serum



    Review

    If your skin feels dull and uneven, the Anua Peach 70 Niacin Serum is designed to bring back radiance. This K-Beauty serum blends 70% peach extract with niacinamide to brighten skin tone, smooth texture, and provide a healthy glow.

    The texture is lightweight and watery-gel like, which means it absorbs quickly without stickiness. It layers well under moisturizers and sunscreen, making it easy to use in both your morning and evening routines. The soft peach scent is refreshing but subtle, and it fades soon after application.

    What makes this serum stand out is its ingredient list. Peach extract delivers antioxidants and hydration, while niacinamide helps reduce dark spots, improve uneven tone, and strengthen the skin barrier. Added hyaluronic acid ensures lasting hydration, and soothing agents like betaine and allantoin make it gentle enough for sensitive skin.

    With regular use, skin feels brighter, smoother, and more balanced. It doesn’t clog pores, making it suitable for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. While results take time, this serum delivers a natural, steady improvement rather than an instant effect.

    Verdict: A gentle brightening serum that combines hydration with antioxidant benefits. Best for dull or uneven skin looking for a daily glow boost without irritation.

    • Apply an appropriate amount to the skin.
    • Apply 2-3 more drops on a spot where you want more moisture.

    Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil


    Review

    If you’re looking for a gentle yet effective first step in your double cleansing routine, the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is worth considering. Infused with soothing heartleaf extract, this lightweight oil is designed to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.

    The texture is silky and spreads easily, making it simple to massage into the skin. Once emulsified with water, it rinses off cleanly without leaving behind a greasy film—something I really appreciate compared to heavier cleansing oils. It also has a subtle, refreshing scent that isn’t overpowering.

    What makes this formula stand out is its pore-care benefits. Heartleaf extract is known for calming irritation and helping to control excess sebum, which makes this oil especially appealing for those with oily or combination skin. After consistent use, skin feels balanced, smooth, and ready for the rest of your skincare routine.

    Overall, this is a great option for sensitive or acne-prone skin types who want an effective cleansing oil that won’t clog pores. It’s gentle enough for daily use, yet powerful enough to remove even stubborn sunscreen and makeup.

    Verdict: A soothing, non-greasy cleansing oil that lives up to its pore-controlling promise. Perfect for anyone seeking a calming start to their skincare routine.
