💚 Anua Heartleaf Succinic Moisture Cleansing Foam
Â
The Anua Heartleaf Succinic Moisture Cleansing Foam is a gentle yet effective second-step cleanser in a Korean skincare routine, designed to deeply cleanse pores while soothing the skin and maintaining its natural moisture barrier.
Â
Product Overview & Key Ingredients
Â
This cleanser is formulated with a focus on both cleansing and calming, making it particularly suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
| Key Ingredient | Concentration | Primary Benefit |
| Heartleaf Extract | 10,000 ppm | Soothes irritation, calms redness, and provides anti-inflammatory benefits. |
| Succinic Acid | 0.5% | Helps to regulate excess sebum (oil) production and acts as a mild exfoliant to clear out blocked pores, making it excellent for blemish care. |
| Salicylic Acid (BHA) | 0.5% (or 5,000 ppm) | A chemical exfoliant that penetrates pores to dissolve impurities, dead skin cells, and oil, helping to prevent acne. |
| Ceramide NP & Panthenol | Included | Helps restore the skin's moisture barrier, ensuring the skin feels hydrated and not tight after cleansing. |
The formula is pH-balanced (mildly acidic) to match the natural pH of healthy skin (around pH 5-6), which helps to protect the skin barrier from damage and dryness. It has a gel-like texture that creates a dense and rich foam for a comfortable cleansing experience.

🫧 How to Use the Cleansing Foam
Â
This product is typically used as the second step in a double cleansing routine (after an oil cleanser) or as a standalone cleanser in the morning.
Â
Step-by-Step Instructions
Â
-
Preparation: Splash your face with lukewarm water to dampen the skin and prepare it for cleansing. (Avoid hot water, as it can strip the skin.)
-
Dispense: Squeeze a small, pea-sized amount of the cleansing foam onto your palm.
-
Lather: Rub your hands together with a few drops of water to work the gel into a rich, dense foam.
-
Cleanse: Gently massage the foam onto your damp face using light, circular motions for about 30-60 seconds. Pay extra attention to areas prone to oil and congestion (like the T-zone: forehead, nose, and chin).
-
Rinse: Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water until all traces of the foam are removed.
-
Finish: Gently pat your face dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid rubbing.
