Is ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil right for your skin?
Best for
- Anyone who wears sunscreen or makeup every day and wants it fully removed
- Oily and combination skin, including skin with visible blackheads on the nose and chin
- Acne-prone skin that needs a thorough but gentle first cleanse
- People who dislike heavy, greasy cleansing oils
Skip it, or patch-test first, if
- You have reacted to cleansing oils or plant extracts before: patch-test on the jawline first
- Your skin is very dry and you prefer a cushiony texture: a cleansing balm such as Dr.Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm may suit you better
- You expect it to shrink pores: no cleanser changes pore size; it keeps pores clearer so they look less obvious
How do you use ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil?
Evening
- With dry hands, pump 2–3 times onto a dry face.
- Massage for about a minute, spending longer on the nose, chin and any areas with sunscreen.
- Add a little water and keep massaging until the oil turns milky.
- Rinse well with lukewarm water.
- Follow with a gentle foam cleanser such as ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, then toner and moisturiser.
Wet hands or a wet face stop the oil from dissolving sunscreen, so always start dry. In the morning a gentle water-based cleanser is usually enough; keep the oil for the evening, when there is a full day of sunscreen to remove.
What are the key ingredients in ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil?
- Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract — a calming plant extract and the signature ingredient of ANUA’s heartleaf line
- Caprylic/capric triglyceride — a light, fast-rinsing oil that helps dissolve sunscreen, makeup and sebum
- Emulsifiers — turn the oil milky when it meets water, so it rinses off without a greasy film
What is oil cleansing?
Oil cleansing means using an oil-based cleanser as the first step to remove what water alone cannot: sunscreen, makeup and excess sebum. Oil dissolves oil, so the cleanser lifts these off without scrubbing. A good cleansing oil contains emulsifiers, so it turns milky when you add water and rinses away instead of sitting on the skin. You then use a gentle water-based cleanser as the second step. Together, the two steps are called a double cleanse, and they are the base of most Korean evening routines.
ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil vs SKIN1004 Centella Cleansing Oil: which should you choose?
| ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil | SKIN1004 Centella Cleansing Oil | |
|---|---|---|
| Key plant extract | Heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) | Madagascar centella asiatica |
| Focus (from the name) | Pore control: oily and blackhead-prone areas | Light, gentle everyday cleansing |
| Best for | Oily, combination and congested skin | Sensitive, combination and oily skin |
| Sizes we sell | 20ml and 200ml | 30ml and 200ml |
| Step in the routine | First cleanse, evening | First cleanse, evening |
Choose the ANUA oil if oiliness and blackheads are your main concern and you already use other ANUA heartleaf products. Choose the SKIN1004 oil if your skin is sensitive and you prefer a centella routine. Both rinse off with water and both need a gentle second cleanser.
How can you tell if your ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil is original?
- The oil should be transparent, light and runny, and turn milky as soon as you add water. An oil that stays greasy and will not emulsify is a warning sign.
- The box should be sealed, with the ingredient list and ANUA details printed clearly; blurred printing or spelling mistakes suggest a copy.
- A price far below other trusted sellers usually means old stock or a fake.
- Check the batch code printed on the box and the bottle: the two must match, and the code should look printed, not stuck on. Every unit we sell is batch-code checked on arrival in Seoul, and we verify any code for free — see how to check if Korean skincare is original.

ANUA Heartleaf Cleansing Oil: frequently asked questions
Is the ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil at Korean Skincare Pakistan original?
Yes. Korean Skincare Pakistan is an Official Authentic seller of ANUA in Pakistan. Our stock is bought from official ANUA channels in Seoul, every unit is batch-code checked on arrival and shipped from our Seoul warehouse. If a product is ever not original, an old batch or near expiry, you can return it free within 7 days.
Is Anua cleansing oil good for oily skin?
Yes. It is a light oil that rinses clean, and oil cleansers often suit oily skin well, because oil dissolves sebum and sunscreen without the squeaky, tight feeling of harsh foams. Use it on dry skin, emulsify with water and follow with a gentle foam cleanser. If your skin is very breakout-prone, patch-test on one area for a few days first.
Can we use Anua cleansing oil every day?
Yes. It is made for daily use as the first step of an evening double cleanse. Use it every night you wear sunscreen or makeup, which for most people in Pakistan means every day. In the morning, a gentle water-based cleanser, or just water for dry skin, is usually enough, so you do not need the oil twice a day.
Can cleansing oil remove or shrink pores?
No cleanser can remove pores or change their size. What this oil does is dissolve the sebum, sunscreen and grime that collect in pores, which can make blackheads and enlarged-looking pores less obvious with regular use. For more visible change, pair it with a salicylic acid (BHA) or niacinamide product, and wear sunscreen every morning.
Do I need to double cleanse after Anua cleansing oil?
Yes, a second cleanse is recommended. The oil removes sunscreen, makeup and sebum, and a gentle water-based cleanser then removes sweat, dirt and any oil left behind. ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is the matching second step, but any gentle low-pH cleanser works. Avoid harsh, stripping foams, which can leave skin tight.
Does Anua cleansing oil remove sunscreen and makeup?
Yes, that is its main job. Massage it over dry skin for about a minute so it has time to dissolve the sunscreen and makeup, then add water to emulsify and rinse. For long-wear or waterproof makeup, especially mascara, massage a little longer or use a dedicated eye makeup remover first, and keep the oil out of your eyes.
Which size should I buy, 20ml or 200ml?
The 20ml bottle is a travel or trial size, useful if you want to see how your skin likes it. The 200ml bottle is the full size for nightly double cleansing and works out better value per ml. Both are the same formula. The live price and stock of each size are shown right under the Add to Cart button.
