Anua Heartleaf 80 Soothing Ampoule is a lightweight, non-greasy facial serum formulated to support hydration and soothe the skin. The ampoule contains 80% heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract, a plant-based ingredient traditionally used in Korean skincare for its calming properties. This core component helps reduce visible redness and sensitivity, making the formula suitable for those with irritated or reactive skin.

The inclusion of hyaluronic acid provides moisture retention by attracting water to the skin’s surface, supporting a plump, smooth appearance often described as glass skin. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) further reinforces the skin barrier and helps maintain hydration levels without leaving a sticky residue. The water-like texture absorbs quickly, making it appropriate for use under makeup or as part of a daily layering routine.

This ampoule is designed for individuals seeking a simple, focused hydration step without heavy oils or fragrances. It works well for combination, oily, and sensitive skin types, especially during warmer months or when barrier repair is a priority. The 1.01 fl.oz (30ml) bottle offers a moderate volume for regular use.

The formula is free from artificial colors and is alcohol-free, aligning with a gentle, no-fuss approach to skincare. Anua prioritizes straightforward ingredient profiles and accessible pricing, making this ampoule a practical option for those exploring Korean skincare basics. For best results, apply a few drops after cleansing and toner, before heavier creams. Suitable for both morning and evening use.
