Take the skin testDiscover the soothing and hydrating power of the Anua Heartleaf 80% Moisture Soothing Ampoule. This gentle, gel-like formula is a skincare savior, swiftly absorbed by your skin to provide an abundance of moisture. With an impressive 80% Houttuynia Cordata Extract, it works wonders to calm sensitive skin and acts as a protective shield against external irritations. The result is a complexion that remains tranquil and healthy. The ampoule's watery texture ensures a seamless and non-sticky absorption of moisture and nutrients, leaving your skin plump, supple, and nourished.
Heartleaf 80% Moisture Soothing Ampoule is a watery-light ampoule from Anua, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 18 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as very light — essentially a water-and-humectant base with little emollient weight. With almost no emollient load it should absorb quickly and finish close to matte. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate and Betaine.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Beta-glucan, Sodium Hyaluronate and Bifida Ferment Lysate.
On richness alone it suits Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
