Anua reviews and discussion

Have been using their niacinamide + TXA dark spot correcting serum for a few weeks now and I’ve seen results! Skin tone feels more even for sure.

When it mentioned no eye irritation, I thought it was going to fail me, to be honest. I say this because usually, some cleansers make my eyes hurt, and immediately have to get a paper towel. I was wrong with Aura cleanser, I kept splashing my face to take off all the oil, and my eyes didn’t sting or hurt at all. The cleanser, I noticed needed help to take some of my sebum off my nose. I didn’t have the dry skin particles that I saw in other videos did, on their palms but I did see one on my arm.

The winter sunscreen reviews continue.... viral product test edition! 🧐😎 I was gifted this Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream by Anua and Yesstyle, in exchange for my honest review.🌿 I've been excited to try this sunscreen for awhile now, as I see it's a quite popular choice among kbeauty products. It's quite affordable compared to other sunscreens, which I liked. If a product is too expensive then I tend to ration it...which I don't want to do with sun protection 😂 This sunscreen is spf50+++ PA++++, and offers excellent broad spectrum sun protection. Its lightweight and has a gel-cream like texture, which feels like a light moisturizer. It takes a bit longer to rub in than other sunscreens I've tried, but does so relatively quickly. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and calm- no stinging sensation here! The finish is SO smooth- velvet-like, which makes sense as it's designed to control sebum. Overall this worked great especially when my combo skin is feeling a bit oilier, which happens pretty cyclically. I understand why bits a huge hit especially with oily skin types, but think it would work well for most based on my experience. No glaring negatives stood out- I think it's a great, affordable staple and would work for most!

The Anua Niacinamide Serum is a dark spot killer 💥✨ It seriously helped fade my hyperpigmentation and even out my skin tone. Super lightweight, absorbs fast, and doesn’t irritate at all. It’s a quiet gem that actually works 🫶🏽 Really one of my favorite 😍

This serum is a brightening powerhouse! It helped fade my dark spots and even out my skin tone without irritation. Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and gives me that fresh, clear, glow-from-within look 🌟🧴

I’ve been using this cleansing oil for a while and really like how gently it removes makeup and impurities without drying out my skin. It leaves my face feeling clean and hydrated, which is great for my combination skin. The heartleaf extract adds a soothing touch, but if you have very sensitive skin, I’d recommend patch testing first. Overall, it’s a solid product for a refreshing cleanse! 🌿💧

These pads are a game changer for calming and gently exfoliating my skin without any irritation. They feel super refreshing, and I love using them in the morning to start with a smooth, balanced base. The heartleaf really helps with redness, and I’m already obsessed! 🍃🧖🏻‍♀️

This toner feels so refreshing and gives my skin a soft, healthy glow. The peach scent is light and lovely, and the niacinamide helps brighten my complexion. It’s become one of my fave steps in my morning routine. 🍑✨

El aceite limpiador de Anua con Heartleaf es ligero pero eficaz, elimina maquillaje y suciedad sin dejar sensación grasa. Es ideal para pieles mixtas, grasas o con tendencia al acné, y no me causó brotes ni irritación 🫧☁️

This sunscreen is perfect for normal to dry and sensitive skin—it feels silky, soothing, and gives lasting moisture. The heartleaf calms irritation, and it leaves a healthy, non-greasy glow. No white cast at all, just smooth protection you’ll actually enjoy using.

This cleansing oil melts off sunscreen and makeup so easily without clogging my pores. It feels gentle on the skin and doesn’t leave any greasy residue. My face feels clean but not stripped after using it 💜

**ANUA** is a Korean cosmetics brand focused on natural formulations. Their products feature vegan ingredients, use organic components, and emphasize environmental sustainability. - **Not tested on animals** - **Suitable for sensitive skin** - **Eco-friendly products** - **Vegan-friendly** One of the brand’s bestsellers is the **ANUA toner**. ### Packaging The toner comes in a minimalist white box, symbolizing purity and freshness. #### Tamper Protection To ensure the product hasn’t been opened, the box is sealed with a sticker at the top. Removing it is tricky—it’s easier to cut it off. I tried peeling it carefully, but it couldn’t be reattached, making the tamper-proof seal effective. If someone else had opened it before me, it would’ve been obvious. There’s also a second seal on the bottle itself. This ensures the product won’t leak during transit and prevents you from receiving a partially empty bottle. The seal is sturdy and requires some effort to remove. ### The "77" Label The number "77" on the packaging and the bottle caught my attention. It turns out it represents the percentage of **Houttuynia Cordata extract** in the formula. This plant, native to the Himalayas and Japan, is known for its valuable antibacterial properties. ### Toner Characteristics The toner is clear and scent-free. Its texture is slightly denser than regular tonics but lighter than typical Korean ampoules. I apply it using a cotton pad. ### Manufacturer’s Promises: - **Optimal pH**: 5.5–6. - Neutralizes the harsh effects of water. - Doesn’t tighten the skin after cleansing. - Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier. - Reduces inflammation and irritation. - Helps prevent and reduce acne. - Instantly soothes even the most sensitive skin. - Provides additional hydration. ### Results I’m impressed! The toner preps the skin well for the next steps in your skincare routine. It fulfills its promises and performs its functions effectively. The formula is excellent, and I can confidently recommend it.

If I could give this brand 0 stars I would. I have NEVER had as bad of a breakouts that I have now. My skin is combination/oily and I got told the oil cleanser would help as I had a few red spots for “glass skin” hype, so I invested and bought the 5 step routine. No joke, it has given me some of the most painful cystic acne I have ever experienced, if you have bought this THROW IT THE F AWAY. I have had to spend hundreds on doctors and dermatologists appointments to try and help my skin to get back to normal. I have never been someone who is self conscious about leaving the house until now and I’m just constantly in pain even with washing m skin with water and embarrassed of the looks I have been getting when I do go out. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND. This was my skin after three days of using the 5 step skin care twice per day. I have no idea what the heck has made it this bad but girl, not worth the aftermath.

The Anua Heartleaf 77% soothing toner is another one of my favorite products of 2023. This is also a current top skincare product in Korea. I usually don’t care too much about my toners, but I’ve noticed that this one actually helps my skin! I have a bit of redness on my cheeks, around my nose, and on my chin (where I’ve been having some breakouts). Using this toner has helped reduce some of that redness! The high percentage of heartleaf is what helps calm irritation-prone skin and is great for acne-prone skin as well. I usually don’t expect skincare products to make a noticeable difference, but this one actually has. I couldn’t recommend it more!

This has been a lifesaver when it comes to minimising the appearance of pores. It gently cleanses and removes all the impurities that have built up on my face over the day. It has worked very well on my acne prone skin and has caused ZERO breakouts!

the peach niacinamide serum is quite nice, but does irritate a little on days where my skin is more sensitive. oil cleanser is okay, pulls out a lot of gunk but doesn't always get the deeper stuff out.
