Pharmacist’s advice

For sensitive and visibly red skin, apply the toner with clean hands and gently pat it in. Rubbing with a cotton pad may increase redness when the skin barrier is already weakened.

Anua Heartleaf Toner does not contain exfoliating acids and can be used as a simple hydrating step. One or two light layers are generally sufficient, followed by a moisturiser to reduce water loss.

For acne-prone skin, the toner may make the routine more comfortable but does not replace targeted ingredients such as azelaic acid, retinoids or dermatologist-prescribed treatment.

Persistent redness is often better managed with a simplified routine and by avoiding aggressive exfoliation, hot water and frequent product changes.
