What it is
The Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is Anua’s second-step cleanser, a 150ml tube designed to follow its cleansing oil. Heartleaf extract is the first ingredient, with quercetin (an antioxidant plant flavonoid) and a small dose of salicylic acid.
Who it suits
Oily, combination and acne-prone skin that likes a proper foam. The amino-acid surfactants are gentler than old-style foams, but dry skin may still prefer a gel or low-pH cleanser. It contains fragrance.
How to use it
Work a pea-sized amount into a foam with water, massage over damp skin and rinse. Use after an oil cleanser at night, or alone in the morning.
How it compares
COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is a lighter gel. Round Lab Dokdo Cleanser is another mild, foaming everyday option.
FAQ
Is it gentle enough for sensitive skin?
It uses mild amino-acid cleansers, but it also contains salicylic acid and fragrance, so very sensitive skin should patch-test.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, a small amount is enough for a morning wash.
