anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner 250ml

Some skin types need a gentle first step above all else. This one starts with Houttuynia cordata — a plant little known in the West, but a long-standing staple in Korean skincare for calming skin that flares up. Everything else follows, without rushing.

Texture and ingredients — Houttuynia cordata extract makes up 77% of the formula. Its quercitrin, a flavonoid naturally found in the plant, works on the discomfort signals of sensitive skin. Seven complementary botanical extracts follow: centella asiatica, burdock, chamomile, purslane, grape, apple, and sugarcane. Hydration is built on six forms of hyaluronic acid — including sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate, and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid — to reach different depths of the skin. The pH is kept between 5 and 7, the mildly acidic range of healthy skin.

In your routine — After cleansing, pour a small amount into your palm or onto a cotton pad. Press gently onto your face with light tapping motions — this encourages absorption without rubbing or pulling. The toner works as a first hydrating step, before serum or moisturizer, and can also be used on its own on days when your skin just needs something simple. The 250 ml size is well suited to daily morning and evening use over several weeks.
