Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner

For reference, I have dry/combination, sensitive skin that's prone to inflammation and clogged pores. It took me until almost the end of the bottle for me to make up my mind about this toner. It's been hyped up so much on social media that I ended up caving and trying it, only to end up slightly disappointed when it didn't seem to make much of a difference on my skin. I wasn't expecting miracles or anything but I was hoping it would help reduce the inflammation I have in my cheeks. It did help a bit, but not much so I felt letdown by it. However, after a while I noticed it seemed to help my other products apply more smoothly and absorb into my skin better (kind of like a boosting toner). It's also lightweight, which makes it easy to layer and incorporate into my routine, spreads well, and provides light hydration. It also feels really refreshing when I apply it, so I enjoyed using it. I like that it didn't make my sensitive skin react either. Actually this is the only product I used (other than a ceramide cream) when my skin had a sudden strange reaction to something. It helped soothe my skin and didn't irritate at all. I wouldn't say it actively helped get rid of it faster (it went away on its own eventually), but it didn't exacerbate the problem, and it gave my skin a bit of hydration which was all I was looking for. Overall, I didn't see any dramatic improvements in my skin, but I think it's a nice product to have especially when my skin is irritated. I might repurchase in the summer (it's cold and dry where I am now) since it's so refreshing, but for now my skin is fine without it. Also, the 150mL bottle lasted me about 9 months with pretty consistent use (I applied it with my hands and layered it twice in the morning).

★★★★★ Soothing Toner That’s Perfect for Daily Use! I absolutely love the Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner! It has a calming effect on my skin, especially on days when I exfoliate. This toner has become a staple in my daily routine, helping maintain a healthy skin barrier, hydration, and a natural glow. Perfect for sensitive skin, K-beauty lovers, and anyone looking for gentle, effective skincare!

Okay, this toner is that girl! I’ve been using the Anua Heartleaf 77% Toner every day for the past couple months and my skin has never looked so calm and clear. I have sensitive, breakout-prone skin and this seriously helps keep the redness down and my skin feeling super fresh. It’s super lightweight (basically feels like water) but somehow still gives that nice hydrated glow. I use it morning and night, and it layers perfectly with the rest of my skincare—no burning, no irritation, just soft, happy skin. Plus, it doesn’t have that heavy fragrance or sticky feeling some toners do. If your skin gets easily mad or you just want something soothing and simple, you need this. Only downside is I go through the bottle kinda fast because I use it like water 😂 but it’s 100% worth it. 💚 Pros: calming, gentle, non-sticky, hydrates without clogging 🚫 Cons: runs out fast if you use it twice a day
