**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.

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!

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.

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!

Never received my order, and the company refused to reship or provide a refund. Would not recommend anyone risk their dollars.

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.
