ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil

The Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is a lightweight first-step cleanser that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum in one pass, then rinses clean through emulsification. As you add water, the oil turns milky and lifts away the day's buildup, so your skin feels fresh rather than tight or greasy afterwards. It's one of Anua's best-known cleansing oils and a daily favourite for anyone who layers SPF or wears longer-lasting makeup.

The formula is built around 10,000 ppm heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract, the brand's signature ingredient, chosen to keep the cleanse gentle and comfortable on sensitive, blemish-prone skin. It carries a non-comedogenic claim and has passed a non-comedogenic human application test, so it's formulated to wash away without clogging the look of pores.

Key ingredients

• 10,000 ppm Heartleaf extract — Anua's hero botanical, included to keep the cleanse calm and comfortable on reactive skin.
• 5 Alpha-Avocuta — a patented oil-based ingredient that helps care for the look of excess sebum during cleansing.
• Plant oil blend — grapeseed, jojoba seed, macadamia ternifolia seed, sunflower seed and olive fruit oils, balanced to leave skin feeling soft and conditioned rather than stripped.

How to use

1. Apply 2–3 pumps onto dry hands and dry face.
2. Massage gently over makeup, sunscreen and impurities for 30–60 seconds.
3. Wet your hands and keep massaging so the oil emulsifies into a milky texture.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then follow with a water-based cleanser if you double cleanse.

Who is it for?

Suited to all skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It's a good match if you want to remove heavy makeup and SPF in one step, prefer a light, non-greasy feel, and want a soft, hydrated finish without that tight after-feel. The formula has completed hypoallergenic and non-irritation testing, and it's gentle enough to use around the eyes without stinging.
