Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner
Anua
Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner
Toner

The absolute gold standard for calming reactive skin layouts. Instead of a water base packed with synthetic thickeners, it replaces 77% of the bottle with pure Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) extract. Heartleaf contains natural quercitrin compounds that immediately restrict vascular swelling and down-regulate heat inside the skin layers. It feels exactly like pure, light water and absorbs instantly with zero tackiness, acting like a cooling, anti-inflammatory splash. It works miracles for calming active, angry acne breakouts and cooling down skin flushed by tropical heat, but holds minimal lipid value for dry skin types.

COSRX
Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
Cleanser

The absolute legendary pioneer of low-pH skin washing across Malaysia and Southeast Asia.

It leaves the critical moisture lipid bricks completely untouched. Packed with **0.5% Styrax Japonicus botanical extract** and natural **Tea Tree Oil**, it targets acne bacteria corridors during washing, rinsing away to leave a thoroughly clean, perfectly balanced fresh satin baseline.
