ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is a Korean oil-based facial cleanser made for the first step of a double cleanse, breaking down makeup and surface residue before a water-based wash.
The bottle holds 6.76 fl oz (200 ml), comes in black packaging, and is made in Korea. The formula includes heartleaf extract, and the brand notes that hypoallergenic, non-irritation and eye irritation (HET-CAM) testing were completed on the product.
To use it, apply the oil to dry skin, massage for a minute or two, add water so the oil emulsifies, then rinse and follow with your usual foaming or gel cleanser.
- Size: 6.76 fl oz / 200 ml, single bottle
- Format: cleansing oil, first step of a double cleanse
- Origin: Korea
It fits into a routine built around daily makeup or sunscreen wear, where a water-based cleanser alone leaves something behind. Reach for it at the end of the day, ahead of the rest of your evening steps.
When comparing cleansing oils in this category, look at whether the formula emulsifies cleanly with water, leaving no greasy film after rinsing. A clean rinse matters because any residue left behind can interfere with the products that follow. The heartleaf extract is the central botanical here, so if your skin has reacted to other botanical oils in the past, patch testing on the inner arm before using it on your face is a reasonable step. This product is suited to anyone who wears layered sunscreen or full-coverage foundation daily, since those formulas tend to resist water-based cleansers used alone.
At 200 ml, the bottle is a standard full size, and for someone cleansing once a day it should last several months. Store it upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and keep the cap closed between uses to prevent the formula from thickening or separating over time. If you travel frequently, check whether the brand offers a smaller size, since this bottle is above most airline carry-on liquid limits. Dispensing one to two pumps per use is typically enough to cover the face and neck without waste.
