Why Heartleaf?

Benefits:
  • Soothes redness and visible irritation.
  • Controls oil without over-drying.
  • Layers light under sunscreen/makeup.

Pairs well with niacinamide, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid. Introduce strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA/retinoids) on alternate nights.

Ingredient Spotlight: Houttuynia cordata (Heartleaf)

Known for calming and antioxidant properties—ideal for reactive, acne-prone, or redness-prone skin. Anua’s textures keep the routine comfortable even in heat/humidity.

How to Layer Anua Correctly

Apply from thinnest to thickest: toner → ampoule → cream → (AM) sunscreen. Let each layer sit ~30–60 seconds.

  • Weeks 1–2: Redness calms; skin feels less tight after washing.
  • Weeks 3–4: Fewer surprise breakouts; better oil control.
  • Weeks 6–8: Smoother texture; routine feels “set and forget”.
