Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is a foamy cleanser with BHA that controls oil and feels gentle for oily-combo skin, according to Charisse Daily. However, professional makeup artist CYoung says it feels "too tight," and Charisse Daily notes daily use can be stripping, recommending it two times a week. Best for oily or acne-prone skin, not for those who want a non-stripping daily cleanser.
