Anua Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad
The pad version of Anua's Heartleaf 77 Toner, keeping the same heartleaf-forward positioning. It sits between the calming pads and the exfoliating ones: gentler than an acid pad, with a light clarifying edge rather than pure soothing. The pads are well soaked and the textured side gives a mild sweep. Anua's heartleaf line is coherent enough that using the oil, foam, toner and pad together is a sensible if slightly expensive routine.
What it is built around
Who it suits
Combination and oily skin that flushes easily and wants a gentle daily clarifying step rather than acids. It suits blemish-prone skin that finds exfoliating pads too provoking. Very dry skin has little to gain here. If your main complaint is blackheads or rough texture, an acid liquid does more than any heartleaf pad will.
How to use it
After cleansing, sweep one pad over the face — smooth side for most skin, textured side sparingly on the T-zone. Morning or evening. Pat in the remaining essence rather than letting it evaporate, then follow with serum and moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning. Daily use is fine given there are no acids involved.
