Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner 어성초 77 수딩 토너

A watery toner built on heartleaf — 어성초 (eoseongcho), Houttuynia cordata — which forms the bulk of the water phase rather than sitting near the bottom of the list as a token extract. There are no acids, no added fragrance and no colourant. What you get is a thin, fast-absorbing layer of 진정 (jinjeong, calming) hydration with panthenol alongside. It became Anua's global bestseller largely on that simplicity.

What it is built around

Who it suits

Best for reactive, flushed or lightly congested skin that wants a hydration step which does not also introduce an active. Oily and combination skin will like how little it leaves behind. Very dry skin will find it thin — treat it as the first of several layers, not the whole job. It is not a spot treatment, and people expecting it to clear breakouts are usually disappointed.

How to use it

First hydration step after cleansing, morning and night. Two or three passes with damp hands rather than a soaked cotton pad — the 7-skin idea works well here because the texture is so light. Follow with an essence or serum, then seal with moisturiser. Nothing in it conflicts with retinol, acids or vitamin C.
