What is the ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set?
The ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set brings together two of ANUA's most-loved products in one routine: the ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil and the ANUA Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner. Both are built around heartleaf, also known as Houttuynia cordata, a Korean botanical prized for calming skin that looks red, oily or irritated. Together they cover the two steps most routines get wrong: removing sunscreen properly, and calming skin straight after cleansing.
You build the set to suit you. Choose a toner size of 40ml, 150ml or 250ml and an oil size of 20ml or 200ml, so you can start small, refill only what you need, or stock up on full sizes.
What is heartleaf?
Heartleaf is a leafy plant traditionally used in Korea and much of Asia. In skincare it is valued for its soothing, balancing effect, which makes it popular with oily, breakout-prone and sensitive skin. The toner contains 77% heartleaf extract, giving a concentrated dose of calm in a watery formula.
Who is the set for?
It works best on oily and combination complexions, breakout-prone faces and easily irritated skin, plus anyone who wears sunscreen or makeup every day and needs a reliable way to remove it. It is also a thoughtful first K-beauty routine or gift, because both products are gentle and easy to use.
ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set benefits: what it does for your skin
A thorough, gentle double cleanse
The cleansing oil dissolves sunscreen, makeup and excess sebum, then turns milky with water and rinses away, so pores are left clean without scrubbing.
Calmer, less reactive skin
The 77% heartleaf toner soothes the look of redness and irritation that can follow cleansing, heat or breakouts.
Balanced oil and hydration
Instead of stripping, the routine helps oily skin feel fresh and balanced, while the toner adds a light layer of hydration for the steps that follow.
Clearer-looking pores
Regular, proper oil cleansing helps keep pores free from the build-up that leads to blackheads and congestion, a common worry in humid Pakistani summers.
Better results from the rest of your routine
Clean, calm, hydrated skin absorbs serums and moisturisers more evenly, so your treatments work harder.
ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set key ingredients
| Product | Key ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|---|

What are the ingredients in the ANUA Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner?
Heartleaf extract makes up 77% of the formula, supported by gentle hydrating and soothing ingredients in a watery base. Check each bottle's box for the full list, which can vary slightly between batches and versions.
Why oil cleansing suits oily skin
It sounds surprising, but oil dissolves oil. A good cleansing oil lifts sebum and sunscreen far better than a foam alone, and because it emulsifies with water, it rinses away without leaving skin greasy.
Is the ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set good for your skin type?
Is the ANUA heartleaf cleanser good for acne?
Yes, as a gentle base for acne-prone skin. Clearing sunscreen and oil properly every night helps prevent clogged pores, and the calming toner soothes the redness around breakouts. It is not a spot treatment, so add a targeted product, such as a BHA or azelaic acid serum, if you need one.
Is it good for oily and combination skin?
This is the set's sweet spot. Oil cleansing removes excess sebum without stripping, and the watery toner hydrates without heaviness.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Generally yes, because both products are mild and heartleaf is calming. If plant extracts tend to bother you, trial both on a small area of your jawline for a day before using them all over.
Is it good for dry skin?
The cleansing oil suits dry skin well. Very dry skin may prefer a richer, milkier toner, such as the ANUA Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner, instead of the watery heartleaf toner.
How to use the ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set morning and night
In your evening routine
- On a dry face, massage two to three pumps of the cleansing oil for about a minute, focusing on the nose and chin.
- Add a little water and keep massaging until it turns milky.
- Rinse thoroughly, then follow with a gentle water-based face wash.
- Press the heartleaf toner in using clean hands, or sweep it on with a soaked cotton pad.
- Finish with serum and moisturiser.
In your morning routine
Wash or rinse your face, apply the heartleaf toner, then layer serum and moisturiser before finishing with broad-spectrum sunscreen. The oil is mainly for the evening, when you have sunscreen and makeup to remove.
Can I use the set every day?
Yes. The cleansing oil is gentle enough for nightly use, and the toner can be used morning and evening.
How long should you leave an ANUA heartleaf mask on?
The set does not include a sheet mask, but if you add an ANUA heartleaf mask to your routine, follow the time on its pouch, which for sheet masks is usually around 15 to 20 minutes. Do not leave a sheet mask on until it dries, as it can then pull moisture back out of your skin.
What to pair it with
After toning, a brightening serum such as ANUA Peach 70% Niacinamide Serum adds a treatment step. For oily, blemish-prone skin, a targeted moisturiser like La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ M works well on top.
ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set results: how long until you see a difference?
Skin feels cleaner and calmer from the first use. Within two to three weeks of nightly double cleansing, many people notice fewer clogged pores and less shine by midday. Redness and post-breakout irritation usually look calmer after three to four weeks of regular toner use.
Does the ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set have side effects?
Both products are gentle, and side effects are uncommon. The most frequent issue is not emulsifying the oil properly, which can leave a residue that may clog pores, so always add water until the oil turns milky and rinse well. Rarely, someone may react to a plant extract. Stop if you notice itching, persistent stinging or a rash.
Can a cleansing oil cause breakouts?
Not when it is rinsed off correctly. Breakouts after oil cleansing usually mean the oil was not fully emulsified or rinsed. A second cleanse with a water-based face wash removes any trace.
Double cleansing in Pakistan's heat and humidity
Daily sunscreen is essential in Pakistan, but water-resistant sunscreens and sweat-proof makeup do not come off with a quick face wash. Leftover residue mixed with sweat, dust and humidity is one of the main reasons for clogged pores in summer. A nightly double cleanse with an oil, followed by a gentle wash and a calming toner, keeps skin clear without stripping it. In winter, the same routine stays comfortable because neither product dries the skin.
Common double-cleansing mistakes to avoid
Applying the oil to a wet face
Water on the skin stops the oil from gripping sunscreen and makeup. Always start with dry hands and a dry face, then add water only once you have massaged for a full minute.
Rushing the massage
Ten seconds is not enough to lift water-resistant sunscreen. Take your time around the nose, hairline and jaw, where residue hides most often.
Using a harsh second cleanser
A stripping foam undoes the gentle work of the oil and can leave oily skin producing even more sebum. Choose a mild, low-foam face wash for the second step.
Skipping the toner straight after
Skin feels tight fastest in the minute after rinsing. Applying the heartleaf toner while your face is still slightly damp locks in that hydration and calms any warmth from rubbing.
Rubbing with a rough towel
Pat your face dry with a soft, clean towel instead of scrubbing. Friction can worsen redness, which is exactly what the heartleaf toner is trying to calm.
Building a full routine around the set
The set covers cleansing and toning, so you only need two or three more products for a complete routine. In the evening, add a treatment serum for your main concern, such as niacinamide for oil and uneven tone, followed by a lightweight gel or lotion moisturiser. In the morning, keep it short: toner, a light moisturiser and sunscreen. Introduce one new product at a time, waiting a week or two between additions, so you can tell what suits your skin.
Choosing your sizes
The set is flexible, so think about how quickly you use each product.
Which toner size should I choose?
The 40ml is ideal for trying the toner or travelling. The 150ml suits regular daily use, and the 250ml is the best value if you already love it or use it generously with cotton pads.
Which oil size should I choose?
The 20ml is perfect for testing oil cleansing or packing in a travel bag. The 200ml is the everyday size if you double cleanse every night.

Original vs fake ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing & Hydration Set: how to check
ANUA's heartleaf line is hugely popular, so check each product carefully. Each item should arrive sealed in its own ANUA packaging, with sharp printing and matching batch codes on the box and bottle. A genuine cleansing oil feels thin and slips easily across the skin, clouding to a milky white once water touches it, while the real toner looks transparent and never feels tacky. Spelling mistakes, a strong smell or a suspiciously low price are warning signs.

YESBEAUTY is an authentic seller of ANUA in Pakistan, and both products in this set are sourced directly from ANUA's official distribution channels in Seoul, Korea.
