Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner.

"My recommendation in this category is Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner. This toner is formulated with high concentration of heartleaf extract and is designed to calm that visible redness rather than exfoliate the skin. It has a really lightweight, watery texture that absorbs really quickly and layers easily without feeling heavy. It's suitable for sensitive, acne prone, reactive skin and can be used daily even alongside retinoids. The key ingredients are heartleaf and hyaluronic acid."

"It's a great one and it's a simple product. It may just look like water because the packaging is very clear, almost looks like you're putting on water, but it's really lightweight. It absorbs really nicely. It's very elegant, but at the same time, it's amazing how this clear bottle of water, if you will, really helps to rebalance your skin after cleansing. It helps to reduce irritation and the fact that it's really suitable for all skin types, sensitive and acne prone skin. Ingredient wise it contains 77% heartleaf which is a really popular K beauty ingredient that helps to calm and soothe redness inflammation while at the same time supporting your skin barrier. Panthenol and betaine which are gentle hydrating ingredients that really helps to keep the skin barrier moisturized and hydrated without adding heaviness or irritation. You can use regularly if you're super sensitive skin or use it if you have become sensitized because you just overdid it with retinoids or exfoliants. It's a product that works well for those who are sensitive and acne prone, and also works well with other products in your routine without causing that irritation."

"It sounds like a nice toner. What I find bizarre, though, is when I first started using this, it stung. My skin barrier was a little bit irritated, so I put it to the side and gave it another go when my skin barrier was in a better position. But after about the first week, when my skin was getting a lot better, I started using this again, still stung. Two weeks later, stung. When my skin barrier is fully healed and I'm back to using actives, this stings. This stings my skin, and it shouldn't. The whole point is that it's soothing. It's also too watery that you put it in the palm of your hands and it just goes all down your arms, or on a cotton pad the cotton pad just soaks it up. I've not had a nice time using this product at all."

"I like this toner a lot. Is it the most hydrating one out there? No it's not, but I think it's a really nice solid toner and I understand why it's so popular and why it's still ranking very high at Olive Young, because it's something that I can see working for a majority of people. It's just a very simple toner, very simple ingredients, very simple texture, and I can see it working for a variety of skin types. It's something that has gained a lot of popularity over the last year, I think it's going to continue to be popular, and it's just a really easy to use type of product."

"Here's the thing about this heartleaf toner is there are other brands that have heartleaf specifically, Mixon is a really good one, but I have heard that this heartleaf toner continues to sell out. I've heard that it's great, there are over 5,300 sold, the price on this is really good. I am very interested in trying this especially because it has sugarcane and grape, both of those can actually hold on to moisture and pull that moisture deeper into the skin, and as we approach winter, that's what I'm looking for."

"This toner has won the top-ranking toner and it won first place in the Olive Young Awards. Olive Young is a huge beauty retailer out there in South Korea. So for them to win number one place is a big deal. It's a huge deal. It's also perfect for sensitive and acne-prone skin. And that's because of the Heartleaf Extract and the Sugar Cane Extract. They act as natural AHAs, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, which gently, very gently, mildly almost, exfoliate the skin. So if your skin's really sensitive, mine's quite sensitive too, and you don't like using peels and exfoliators and things like that, you can use something as gentle as this daily and still get bright-looking skin that looks healthy and isn't sensitive in any way."
