What we found
Based on how this product compares to others in the cleansers category, cross-referenced against retailer listings and market data.
Strengths
- + Same calming heartleaf line as Anua's well-reviewed serum and moisturizer
- + Real formula confirmed with heartleaf at 33.4%, plus quercetin and betaine salicylate for genuine pore-care function, not just a soothing cleanser
- + Also contains sodium hyaluronate and tocopherol, offsetting the exfoliating acid with hydration and antioxidant support
Worth knowing
- - Foam cleansers can be more drying than gel formats for some skin types with daily use
- - Anua's official US formula uses betaine salicylate; some Korean and global retail listings show plain salicylic acid instead, a real regional formula variation rather than an error
Key ingredients
These are the ingredients Anua highlights for this product, cross-checked against general dermatological and cosmetic-chemistry sources, not a full INCI list.
Fragrance: this formula contains added fragrance.
| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract | An extract from Houttuynia cordata, a plant traditionally used in East Asian medicine. | Commonly included for calming, anti-irritation effects, popularized in K-beauty for sensitive and redness-prone skin. |
| Quercetin | A plant flavonoid antioxidant, often derived from or paired with heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) in Korean skincare. | Has antioxidant and soothing properties, commonly used to help calm irritated or reactive skin. |
| Betaine Salicylate (BHA) | A gentler, betaine-bound form of salicylic acid (BHA). | Exfoliates inside pores to clear buildup and control oil, generally considered milder than standard salicylic acid.Note: An active exfoliant. Gentler than standard salicylic acid, but still worth noting for reactive, already-compromised, or exfoliant-sensitive skin, especially with daily use. |
| Evening primrose extract | An extract from the evening primrose plant, rich in fatty acids. | Commonly included as a skin-conditioning, mildly soothing ingredient. |
| Sodium hyaluronate | The salt form of hyaluronic acid, commonly used for its water solubility and stability in formulas; molecular weight varies by product rather than being uniformly smaller. | Draws and holds moisture the same way hyaluronic acid does; how easily it absorbs depends on the specific molecular weight used, which formulas don't always disclose. |
| Tocopherol | The chemical name for vitamin E as typically used in skincare formulas. | Helps neutralize free radicals from UV and pollution exposure and supports the skin's moisture barrier. |
| Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil | The essential oil pressed from eucalyptus leaves, used in small amounts for its scent and mild antimicrobial properties. | Has mild antibacterial and cooling effects, but functions primarily as a fragrance component in most formulas rather than an active treatment ingredient.Note: A concentrated essential oil used here for scent. Carries a real irritation and sensitization risk for reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin, worth a patch test before regular use. |
