Anua Cleansing

The Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil 200ml is the first-cleanse product in the Anua system, designed to dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and daily sebum buildup. The heartleaf base means the oil cleanse also delivers soothing benefit while it emulsifies the oil-based products on the skin. "Pore Control" in the name reflects additional pore-clarifying ingredients alongside the cleansing base - helping prevent pore enlargement from oxidized sebum buildup that oil cleansers can leave behind if not fully rinsed.

Apply to dry skin, massage for 60 seconds, then add water and massage further until the formula turns milky and fully emulsifies. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with a foam cleanser as the second cleanse. The 200ml size lasts two to three months of daily use. A bundled set pairing the Oil with the Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is listed in this collection for those who want both steps in one purchase.

The Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is the most active second-cleanse option. Quercetinol (a quercetin derivative) is an antioxidant bioflavonoid with anti-inflammatory and pore-clearing properties - it inhibits oxidation of pore sebum and reduces the keratin plugging that leads to blackheads. Paired with heartleaf for additional soothing, this foam is suited to combination to oily skin with visibly enlarged pores or blackhead concerns.

Apply to wet skin after the oil cleanse step, build a lather, and massage for 30-60 seconds focusing on the T-zone and chin. Rinse with lukewarm water. The pore-clarifying ingredients in this foam create a deep-clean effect that feels noticeably more thorough than a basic foam cleanser, which is why it is positioned as "Pore Deep." Use morning and evening if you have oil-prone skin, or evening only if your morning concern is gentle cleansing.

The Peach Niacin Spread Cleansing Foam targets brightening and tone correction during the cleanse step. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) inhibits melanin transfer to the skin surface, which over consistent use reduces the appearance of dark spots, post-blemish marks, and uneven tone. The peach component adds vitamin C-precursor content and a light brightening effect. "Spread" refers to the cream-to-foam texture that spreads easily on the skin before lathering.

This foam is the best pick for normal to oily skin concerned with uneven tone or dullness. The niacinamide is present at a functional concentration rather than a trace amount - at 150ml this is enough product for two to three months of daily use. It is gentle enough for morning and evening use and does not strip the skin despite the brightening action.

The Heartleaf Succinic Moisture Cleansing Foam combines heartleaf soothing with succinic acid for mild pore care while maintaining moisture during cleansing. Succinic acid is a gentler alternative to glycolic acid for exfoliation - it provides surface renewal without the photosensitivity risk of AHAs, making it suitable for daily use in a cleanser. The result is a foam that clears pores gently each time you cleanse rather than relying on weekly heavy exfoliants.

This is the most versatile foam in the Anua lineup: suitable for combination skin, oily skin that is also sensitive, and normal skin with mild congestion concerns. Use it daily as a second cleanse after the oil cleanse, or alone for a morning cleanse on nights when you did not wear sunscreen or makeup.

The Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder is an enzymatic cleanser in powder form. Rice enzymes (from rice bran ferment extract) gently digest and lift dead skin cells from the surface without mechanical or chemical scrubbing. The brightening function comes from rice extract's natural kojic acid content, which inhibits melanin production. At the same time, rice ceramide content supports the skin barrier during cleansing.

Mix a small amount of powder with water in your palm to activate the enzyme complex, then apply to wet skin and massage gently. The lather is light and the exfoliation sensation is almost imperceptible compared to a scrub, which is what makes it suitable for daily use including sensitive skin. Use it as a morning cleanser for a consistent brightening input without the irritation risk of stronger chemical exfoliants applied separately.

The Heartleaf 87 Low pH Deep Cleansing Water 500g is a larger-format cleansing water (micellar-style) that cleanses without rinsing. The 87% heartleaf water base means this product is predominantly active botanical water rather than a standard micellar solution. The low pH formulation (below 5.5) keeps the skin's acid mantle intact after cleansing, which is important for maintaining the barrier and for those who apply acid-based actives (AHA, BHA, Vitamin C) immediately after cleansing.

Apply to a cotton pad and sweep over the face to remove light dirt and sebum. For makeup or sunscreen removal, use the cleansing oil first, then the Low pH Cleansing Water for a final clarifying pass. At 500g this is a multi-month supply. It can also be used as a toner-like step after foam cleansing to restore pH balance before serums, particularly if the foam cleanser raised the skin's pH slightly.

The Anua 8 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser contains 8 types of hyaluronic acid at different molecular weights, providing hydration at multiple skin depths during cleansing. This is the most moisture-forward cleanser in the Anua lineup and is specifically designed for dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin types that find standard foam cleansers too drying. The gentle formula uses low-irritation surfactants that maintain the skin's moisture barrier while cleansing.

This cleanser is appropriate for morning and evening use on dry skin, and morning-only use on normal skin. For the morning cleanse when you have not worn makeup overnight, this gentle formula alone is sufficient - no double cleanse needed. In the evening after sunscreen or makeup, start with the cleansing oil first, then use this foam as the second cleanse to avoid stripping.

Match your primary skin concern to the appropriate foam: oily skin with enlarged pores and blackheads should use the Quercetinol Pore Deep Foam. Skin with dullness, dark spots, or post-blemish marks should use the Peach Niacin Spread Foam. Combination skin with mild congestion and redness should use the Succinic Moisture Foam. Dry or sensitive skin should use the 8 Hyaluronic Acid Gentle Foaming Cleanser. For gentle daily brightening without concern-specific targeting, the Rice Enzyme Powder is the most universally applicable option.

If you want to try the full double-cleanse system, the Oil + Quercetinol set bundle in this collection is the most practical starting point. If you already have a double-cleanse first step and only need the second cleanse, choose among the foam variants based on your primary concern.
