Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam
Summary of Reviews
Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam uses a gentle surfactant and glycerin, but Dr. Vanita Rattan flags a comedogenic ingredient and strong fragrance, calling it "not an approved product." Several creators with oily or combo skin praise its thorough cleansing and oil control, though many note it can be drying with daily use. Best for oily skin used 2-3 times a week, not for dry or sensitive skin.

Mixed / Negative
- “The first ingredient in here is Houttuynia extract”3:08–3:10
- “The second ingredient in here is glycerin, which is excellent, actually, because it is also a humectant, holds water in the top layer of skin”3:52–3:54
- “Sodium cocoyl glycinate, which is the main surfactant in this. It's quite a gentle surfactant”4:00–4:02
- “They've put in glycerol stearate SE and that's three out of five on the comedogenic scale, which is a problem because if this is for pore cleansing, you're trying to get into the pore, you do not want to clog the pore”4:19–4:22
- “They added fragrance and it's pretty strong”4:41–4:42
- “Fragrance means that this product is not a naive safe product because it contains fragrance”4:44–4:48
- “For me, unfortunately, this is not an approved product”5:40–5:43
