Description
ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is the oil step in the brand’s well-known double-cleansing duo. It comes in a 200 ml pump bottle and is designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and the build-up of sebum that can make pores look more visible, then rinse away cleanly once emulsified with water. ANUA describes it as especially gentle for sensitive and breakout-prone skin, and says it has completed hypoallergenic and non-irritation testing and is non-comedogenic.
Key ingredients
- Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract – the signature ANUA botanical, included for a comforting feel.
- Light emollient oils and esters – including moringa seed oil, which help lift makeup and sunscreen from the skin.
- Botanical extracts – such as turmeric root and holy basil leaf extracts listed in the formula.
How to use
- Dispense 2 to 3 pumps into dry hands.
- Massage onto a dry face in circular motions to loosen makeup and impurities.
- Add a little water to emulsify until the oil turns milky.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Follow with a water-based cleanser to complete the double cleanse.
Who it suits
The brand positions it as suitable for all skin types, with a focus on oily, combination and congested-looking skin that wants a thorough cleanse without a tight feel. It is a practical choice for anyone who wears long-wear makeup or water-resistant sunscreen every day.
Good to know
Always use it on dry skin and hands, since water reduces how well a cleansing oil dissolves makeup. The ingredient list includes fragrance, so it may not suit people who avoid scented products. Keep it away from the eyes and rinse well. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for a few days and stop using the product if redness, itching or stinging appears. Avoid the eye area unless the product is designed for it, and speak with a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a known skin condition or allergy.
