Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner is a Korean pH-balancing toner formulated with 77% Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) Flower, Leaf, and Stem Extract — the brand's hero ingredient known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and barrier-strengthening properties. Lightweight and watery in texture, it absorbs instantly on contact, delivers a cooling effect, and preps the skin to absorb serums and moisturisers more effectively as the first active step of any routine.
Alongside heartleaf, the 500ml renewed formula contains a six-type Hyaluronic Acid complex for layered moisture delivery, Panthenol for barrier repair, Centella Asiatica and Burdock Root for additional calming support, and Sugarcane Extract as a gentle natural exfoliant. Free from fragrance, parabens, alcohol, and comedogenic ingredients, it is award-winning in Korea and rated number one in its category on multiple global platforms.
Key Benefits of Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner
- 77% Houttuynia Cordata Extract — the highest concentration heartleaf base in any toner — actively soothes inflammation, reduces redness, and fights acne-causing bacteria without disrupting sensitive skin
- Six-type Hyaluronic Acid complex (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer) delivers moisture at every depth of the skin from surface to deeper layers
- Sugarcane Extract provides gentle natural exfoliation through glycolic acid derivatives, loosening dead skin buildup and improving skin texture without the harshness of synthetic acids
- Panthenol binds moisture to the skin surface, promotes wound healing, and reinforces the lipid layer of the barrier — ideal for post-breakout skin recovery
- Centella Asiatica and Burdock Root Extract provide dual soothing action that calms reactive skin and reduces the visible signs of irritation after cleansing
- Mildly acidic pH formula restores the skin's natural acid mantle after cleansing, optimising conditions for the rest of the skincare routine to work effectively
Skin Types and Concerns
- Sensitive and reactive skin: The 77% heartleaf base with Chamomile Extract and Purslane Extract creates a layered soothing effect that reduces inflammatory responses without any fragrance, alcohol, or irritating additives
- Acne-prone and oily skin: Heartleaf's antibacterial properties target acne-causing bacteria at the skin surface while the non-comedogenic, lightweight formula controls excess sebum without clogging pores
- Dull and uneven skin texture: Sugarcane Extract delivers natural glycolic acid activity that loosens dead skin cell buildup and refines surface texture over consistent daily use
- Dehydrated and combination skin: The six-type Hyaluronic Acid complex ensures that even oily skin zones receive adequate moisture, reducing the oil overproduction triggered by dehydration

- Layer 2 to 3 additional applications on areas that feel dry, reactive, or in need of extra soothing.
- Follow immediately with serum, ampoule, or moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp for best absorption.
