I’ve seen Anua’s Heartleaf line everywhere lately, so I decided to try their Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil since my skin has been feeling congested. I was hoping for a lightweight oil that removes sunscreen and makeup without clogging my pores.

🧴 Texture & Feel

• Very light and fluid—not as thick as DHC or other heavier cleansing oils.

• Spreads easily and doesn’t feel greasy.

• Doesn’t sting my eyes! (Huge plus for me.)

🧼 Cleansing Power

• Removes light to medium makeup effortlessly.

• Struggles with waterproof mascara and eyeliner—I had to go in with a separate remover.

• Emulsifies well and rinses clean without leaving a film.

🌱 Skin Effects

• Gentle—my skin didn’t feel stripped or tight afterward.

• Pores looked clearer after a week of use, but nothing drastic.

• Didn’t cause breakouts, but also didn’t drastically reduce them.

📌 Final Thoughts

✔️ Pros: Lightweight, rinses clean, gentle on sensitive skin

❌ Cons: Doesn’t remove waterproof makeup well, subtle but not dramatic pore effects

It’s a great everyday cleansing oil, but if you wear heavy/waterproof makeup, you might need something stronger.
