Anua Heartleaf 77 Clear Pad 70 PCS

The ANUA Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad is a popular daily exfoliating and soothing toner pad designed to address a variety of skin concerns, particularly for those with sensitive, combination, oily, or acne-prone skin. It combines gentle exfoliation with intense calming and hydrating benefits.

Key Features and Ingredients:

• 77% Houttuynia Cordata Extract (Heartleaf): This is the star ingredient, making up a significant portion of the pad’s essence. Heartleaf is renowned in K-beauty for its powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and soothing properties. It helps to calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and support the skin’s natural barrier.
• PHA (Gluconolactone): A Polyhydroxy Acid, PHA is a gentle chemical exfoliant. Compared to AHAs or BHAs, PHAs have a larger molecular structure, which means they penetrate the skin more slowly and gently. This makes them ideal for sensitive skin, providing mild exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and improve skin texture without causing irritation or dryness.
• Anti-Sebum P Complex: This complex is typically a blend of plant extracts (such as Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, and Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract). It’s designed to help regulate excess sebum production, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and improve overall skin texture.
• Dual-Sided Pads: The pads often come with two distinct sides:
  • Embossed/Textured Side: Used for gentle physical exfoliation, helping to sweep away dead skin cells and impurities.
  • Smooth Side: Used for delivering a final layer of soothing hydration and prepping the skin.
• Non-comedogenic & Hypoallergenic: Formulated to be gentle and suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin, it undergoes testing to ensure it won’t clog pores or cause allergic reactions.
• pH Balancing: The essence is typically formulated at a slightly acidic pH, which helps to maintain the skin’s natural healthy pH level, crucial for a strong skin barrier.
• Free from Common Irritants: Usually formulated without artificial fragrances, parabens, alcohol, and other potentially irritating ingredients.

• Improved Skin Texture: Regular use leads to a softer, more refined, and even skin surface.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing your face, gently take one pad using the included tweezers.
2. First, use the embossed/textured side to gently wipe across your entire face, following the skin’s texture, avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas. This helps with gentle exfoliation.
3. Then, use the smooth side of the pad to wipe over your face again, or gently pat the essence into your skin to aid absorption and provide additional hydration.
4. For targeted soothing, you can place the pads on irritated areas (like cheeks or forehead) for 5-10 minutes like a mini sheet mask.
5. Follow with your regular serum and moisturizer.
6. Can be used daily, both in the morning and evening, due to its gentle formulation. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after use to prevent drying out.
