Product Description
Anua Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad is based on the outstanding heartleaf extract from Korea, which gently cares for the skin with a soothing effect. The innovative toner pads reduce sebum production and refine the pores. This promotes a clearer complexion, while the soothing properties of heart leaf extract leave the skin feeling balanced. Skin tone appears more even and the skin feels refreshed and invigorated - anytime, anywhere.
Made in Korea, Anua is a skincare brand that strives to make the most effective products with natural and active ingredients. Their products use mild ingredients that can work comfortably with any skin type, starting from the Heartleaf line and increasing the concentration of heartleaf extract has demonstrated remarkable soothing effects, making it beneficial for those who have sensitive skin. The brand is vegan and cruelty-free.
Toner pads offer convenience and targeted benefits (hydration, soothing, exfoliation, pore care and oil control). They can be easy to use with mess-free application and may also double up as quick masking. Unfortunately, most toner pads do not have a place in my skincare routine, as I can easily replace them with my skincare products. However, I appreciate having exfoliating toner pads like Anua Heartleaf 77 Clear Pad in my weekly routine.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Anua Heartleaf 77 Clear Pad contains 160ml contents with 70 pieces of toner pads fully soaked in Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner in a tub with a flick lid and an enclosed tweezer. All the 70 pads are stacked upon each other and each pad has 2 different sides - the embossed side for exfoliation and the smooth side for soothing. It has a subtle naturally occurring scent.
How To Use :
1) After cleansing, gently wipe the entire face, excluding the eye and mouth areas, with the embossed side in the direction of the skin's grain in the first step of basic skincare routine.
2) Wipe again with the opposite soft side of the pad to refine skin texture.
3) Close the lid after use to prevent the pads from drying out.
Tip: Alternatively, use the pad as a soothing mask by placing it on the irritated areas of the skin.
Performance and Ingredients
Say goodbye to skin impurities and enlarged pores with ease, all while indulging your skin in the nourishing embrace of Korean Heartleaf Extract. Formulated with the gentle touch of Heartleaf Extract from Korea, the Anua Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad is specifically designed to calm sensitive and irritated skin as it alleviates redness and discomfort, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.
The Anua Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad also features the exclusive Anti Sebum P Complex, a blend of Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Evening Primrose Flower Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, and Pueraria Lobata Root Extract. This potent combination helps control sebum secretion and tightens pores, leaving your skin looking smoother and more refined.
Having combination skin in humid weather makes oil-controlling exfoliating pads a welcome addition to my routine. The clear pad’s embossed side, with thin cross-strip patterns, provides a quick and convenient way to exfoliate with just a few swipes. And then follow up with the other side to soothe the skin after exfoliating.
I love the light exfoliation and how the pads help soothe newly formed zits (random zits on chin), preventing them from worsening. With regular use, I’ve noticed a slight reduction in T-zone oiliness.
Since over-exfoliation can be damaging—especially for mature skin, which has a thinner barrier and slower cell turnover—I limit use to 1-2 times a week.
Bonus tip: These pads work great for exfoliating the neck, chest, elbows, and knees too
Note that it is best to avoid using this clear pad with other AHAs, BHAs, Vitamin C and Retinol to avoid irritation.
The key ingredients are...
Houttuynia Cordata : Soothes and calms skin issues. Heartleaf’s active ingredient, quercitrin, is good for skin regeneration and detoxification, accelerating cell turnover and soothing acne-prone skin.
Gluconolactone : A type of polyhydroxy acid or PHA that is as effective as AHAs but less sensitising. An effective low-irritation exfoliating ingredient suitable for sensitive skin, which also helps retain moisture. By gently exfoliating dead skin cells, it smooths out the skin's texture without causing irritation.
Anti sebum-p : A patented ingredient that consists of four plant-based ingredients namely, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract and Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract to regulate sebum production, tighten pores ad balance the skin's moisture-oil ration for a smoother and more even complexion.
