What is ANUA Heartleaf 77% Toner Clear Pad?
The ANUA Heartleaf 77% Toner Clear Pad takes the idea behind ANUA's best-known heartleaf toner and puts it into convenient, pre-soaked cotton pads. One jar holds 70 pads. Each pad has two sides: an embossed side that gently lifts dead cells and the grime a cleanser can leave behind, and a smooth side that calms and preps the skin for the rest of your routine.
Pads make toning faster and more consistent. There is no bottle to tip, no cotton to fetch and no guessing how much liquid to use, which is why they are popular for busy mornings, after the gym, during travel and in Pakistan's long, sweaty summers when you want to refresh your skin without re-washing it.
What is heartleaf?
Heartleaf, or houttuynia cordata, is a plant used in Korean skincare for its calming, purifying feel. It is especially loved by people with oily, breakout-prone or redness-prone skin. Read more in our heartleaf ingredient guide.
ANUA Heartleaf 77% Toner Clear Pad benefits: what it does for your skin
Calms redness and irritation
Heartleaf extract leads the ingredient list, supported by centella compounds such as madecassoside and asiaticoside. Together they help soothe skin that turns red or warm in the heat, after shaving, or when other actives feel a little strong.
Gentle exfoliation without scrubbing
The textured side physically lifts dull surface cells, while gluconolactone, a mild PHA, loosens them chemically. Because PHA is a large molecule, it works slowly and is usually comfortable for sensitive skin, giving smoother texture over time.
Helps balance oil and refine the look of pores
Regular use helps the T-zone feel less oily and look more refined, as excess sebum and debris are cleared from the surface. For more ways to manage shine, see our oil control edit.
Light hydration
Betaine and the watery toner base leave a comfortable, hydrated feel, so skin is ready for serums rather than feeling stripped after cleansing.

Is it good for your skin type?
Oily and acne-prone skin
It is a great daily step for oily skin, helping control shine and keep the surface clean between washes. Pair it with breakout care from our acne and blemishes collection, and avoid scrubbing over active, inflamed spots.
Sensitive and redness-prone skin
The heartleaf and centella blend is designed for this. On reactive days, use only the smooth side. Our sensitivity guide has more calming picks.
Dry skin
Dry skin can use the pads, especially in summer, but should follow with a richer moisturiser and use the textured side lightly.
When to patch-test or skip
Patch-test first if your skin is very reactive. Skip the textured side on sunburnt, broken or freshly waxed skin, and on nights you use strong retinoids or peels.
How to use ANUA Heartleaf 77% Toner Clear Pad (morning and night)
Your daily routine
- Cleanse your face and pat it lightly dry.
- Take one pad with clean fingers or the tweezers if included, and sweep the textured side gently across the face, avoiding the eyes and lips.
- Flip it and pass the smooth side over the face to finish.
- Press in a serum, then moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning.
As a quick calming mask
Peel a pad into thinner layers or use it whole, and rest it on red, warm areas such as the cheeks or chin for a few minutes. This is a handy trick after a hot commute or a workout.
What to pair it with
After the pad, a calming or brightening serum such as the ANUA Peach 70% Niacinamide Serum works well. For a full heartleaf routine, start with the ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, and if you prefer a bottle, the ANUA Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner gives the same calming feel without pads.
ANUA Heartleaf 77% Toner Clear Pad results: how long until you see a difference?
Many people notice calmer, fresher-looking skin right away. With daily use, smoother texture and a more even, less shiny T-zone usually show within two to four weeks. Redness linked to heat or irritation tends to settle faster when the pads are part of a simple, gentle routine.
Does ANUA Heartleaf 77% Toner Clear Pad have side effects?
Side effects are uncommon. Rubbing too hard with the textured side can cause redness, so use light pressure. Stop if you notice stinging, itching or a rash, and use the smooth side only until your skin settles.
Toner pads vs a bottle toner: which suits you?
Both formats share the heartleaf idea, but they fit different habits. Pads win on speed and portability: one pad does the job of a cotton round and a splash of toner, the textured side adds a little exfoliation, and a jar fits easily in a gym bag. A bottle toner gives you more control over how much you apply, lets you layer several thin coats for hydration, and is easier to pat in with your hands if your skin dislikes any friction at all.
Many people keep both: pads for busy mornings and travel, a bottle for slower evenings. If you want a different finish, the ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner is a creamier, glow-focused option, while a hydrating layer such as the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence or the mixsoon Bean Essence can follow the pad. For a stronger acid toner, the The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a step up, but avoid using it on the same night as the textured side.
Using heartleaf pads through Pakistan's seasons
In the hot, humid months the pads are at their most useful. A quick swipe after a long commute or a sweaty afternoon clears away grime and sunscreen build-up without a full wash, and the smooth side cools warm, flushed cheeks. Keeping the jar in a cool spot makes this feel even more refreshing.
In winter, when the air turns dry in cities like Lahore and Islamabad, switch to the smooth side most days and follow with a thicker cream. You can also cut back to once a day in the evening, so your skin keeps more of its natural oils during the colder months.

Tips to keep the pads fresh
Close the lid tightly after each use so the pads stay soaked, keep the jar out of direct sun and away from a hot car, and use clean fingers or tweezers to lift each pad.
