If your skin turns red, tight or blotchy at the first sign of heat, dust or a new product, this is the toner Korean skincare fans reach for first.

What it does
Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) is a plant long used in Korea to calm the skin. At 77% it makes up most of the formula, so every pat delivers a soothing, hydrating layer that helps reduce the look of redness and helps protect skin from everyday irritation. The mildly acidic formula keeps skin comfortable after cleansing, which makes it ideal for Cairo’s heat and dust.
Who it is for
Anyone with sensitive, reactive or easily irritated skin, oily and combination skin that needs hydration without shine, and anyone looking for a gentle first toner to start a Korean skincare routine.
How to use it
- After cleansing, pour a little into your palms or onto a cotton pad.
- Pat gently over the face until absorbed.
- For extra calm, soak two cotton pads and leave them on irritated areas for a few minutes as a quick toner mask.
- Follow with serum, moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen.
Frequently asked questions
Is Anua Heartleaf toner good for acne-prone skin?
It is gentle and does not strip the skin, so it suits oily and blemish-prone skin as a calming step. It is a toner, not an acne treatment.
Can I use it every day?
Yes, morning and night.
Heartleaf or Peach — which Anua toner should I choose?
Choose Heartleaf if your priority is calming redness and sensitivity. Choose Peach if your skin looks dull and you want glow and a smoother base for makeup.
Is this the original Anua toner?
