How to build a routine with ANUA Heartleaf
- Morning: a gentle cleanser, for example ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser, then the Heartleaf 77 toner, moisturiser and SPF.
- Evening: cleanser, Heartleaf 77 toner and Heartleaf 70 cream.
- Once a week: after your evening cleanse, apply the LHA Moisture Peeling Gel to dry skin, rinse off and continue with toner. Increase the frequency only if your skin tolerates it well.
When your skin is stinging or irritated, skip the peeling gel and stay with toner and cream only. With sensitive skin, fewer steps are often better.
ANUA Heartleaf 77 toner or ANUA Rice 70 toner?
Both toners are from ANUA and both are used after cleansing, but they differ in texture and purpose. Heartleaf 77 is watery and soothing, suited to skin that turns red and stings, and to oilier skin. Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner is milky, slightly more nourishing and targets dull, tired, drier skin. If you are unsure which to choose, decide by the main feeling: irritation points to Heartleaf, dullness to ANUA Rice.

Frequently asked questions about ANUA Heartleaf
Which ANUA toner should I choose: Heartleaf 77 or Rice 70?
When you search for an "ANUA toner", you are usually choosing between two products. The ANUA Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner is watery and soothing, for skin that turns red, stings or is on the oily side. The ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner is milky and targets dull, tired, drier skin. Both come in 250 ml and are used after cleansing, morning and evening.
What is heartleaf?
Heartleaf is the common name of the plant Houttuynia cordata. In Korean skincare it is used mainly in soothing products for sensitive and oilier skin. In the INCI list you will find it as Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Is the ANUA Heartleaf 77 toner suitable for acne-prone skin?
It can be a useful addition. The toner helps calm the skin and replenish hydration, so it is also welcome on skin prone to breakouts, especially when other products dry it out. It does not treat acne on its own. For targeted care, see oily and blemish-prone skin.
Does the ANUA Heartleaf 77 toner contain alcohol or fragrance?
No. The formula contains neither ethanol nor fragrance. The main ingredient is heartleaf extract, which makes up 77% of the formula, followed by glycerin, betaine and panthenol.
How often should I use the ANUA Heartleaf LHA Moisture Peeling Gel?
Start once a week on clean, dry skin. Small rolls form as you massage it in; this is cellulose from the gel, not peeled-off skin. If your skin tolerates it well, you can move to twice a week. Do not combine it on the same evening with retinoids or strong acids.
Is the ANUA Heartleaf 70 cream suitable for oily skin?
The cream is richer, so oily skin will appreciate it more in the evening or in winter. During the day, the Heartleaf 77 toner and a light gel cream are enough for oily skin. For dry and sensitive skin, Heartleaf 70 is a good choice morning and evening.
Can I use ANUA Heartleaf with retinol or acids?
The toner and cream, yes; they often help keep the skin comfortable during active skincare. Apply them after your active serum, or on days when you are not using actives. Do not combine the LHA peeling gel with retinol or acids on the same evening.
What is in the ANUA Heartleaf Clear & Calm set?
The set brings together three products from the line: the Heartleaf 77% toner, the LHA Moisture Peeling Gel and the Heartleaf 70 Intense Calming Cream. It comes in a gold gift box, so it works as a gift as well as a first introduction to the whole line.
