Anua – Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam 150ml

A Korean foam cleanser from Anua that uses heartleaf water as its base, plus finely ground heartleaf powder and quercetin, to clean out pores and excess oil while keeping skin calm. Gentle salicylic acid derivatives smooth rough texture around the nose and cheeks, and a soft, rich lather rinses off without leaving skin stripped.

What it's for

• Removing impurities and excess sebum from pores (Anua's stated purpose)
• Gentle exfoliation to smooth rough texture around the nose and cheeks

How to use

1. If you're wearing makeup or sunscreen, remove it first with a cleansing oil.
2. Squeeze a small amount into your hands, add a little water and work it into a lather.
3. Massage onto the face in circles, focusing on the nose and cheeks.
4. Rinse well with lukewarm water.

Cautions

For external use only. Avoid the eyes; if foam gets in, rinse with water. Stop using it if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

Questions

Is it gentle enough to use twice a day?
Yes for most skin. Its salicylic acid derivatives are mild, and the formula is labelled low-irritation. If your skin feels tight, use it once a day and a gentler cleanser in the morning.

Does it remove sunscreen and makeup?
Anua recommends removing makeup with a cleansing oil first. At night, use it as the second step after an oil cleanser.

Can it help with blackheads?
Anua lists it for blackheads and clogged pores. Use it daily, and add an exfoliating product such as Medicube Zero Pore Pads a few times a week if you need more.

How long does delivery take in Egypt?
Delivery takes 3–7 business days, depending on your area.

Pairs well with: the SKIN1004 Light Cleansing Oil as your first cleanse and the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner after it. More options in our Cleansers collection and Pores & Oil Control.
