What it is
Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is a 200ml oil cleanser for the first cleansing step when you need to remove sunscreen, makeup and oil-based residue before your regular water-based cleanse.
The current official Anua formula contains cleansing oils and emollients including sunflower seed oil, macadamia seed oil, olive fruit oil, jojoba seed oil and grape seed oil. It also contains fragrance, so it should not be described as fragrance-free.
Why choose it
- A practical first-cleanse role: use it when sunscreen, makeup or oily residue makes one water-based cleanse feel insufficient.
- Emulsifying oil format: massage it onto dry skin, then add water so the oil turns milky before rinsing.
- Keep the routine simple: if your current cleanser already removes what you wear comfortably, you do not need to add an oil cleanser just to make your routine longer.
How to use
- Start with dry hands and a dry face.
- Dispense a small amount and massage gently over the face, focusing on sunscreen, makeup and areas with more residue.
- Add a little lukewarm water and continue massaging until the oil emulsifies and turns milky.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Follow with a gentle water-based cleanser when you need a second cleanse.
Simpli Start-Safe: introduce the oil cleanser without adding another new active at the same time. If your skin becomes persistently irritated, stop and simplify the routine.

Common questions
Does it contain fragrance?
Yes. Fragrance appears in the current official Anua ingredient list.
Do I have to double cleanse every night?
No. Double cleansing is useful when you need extra help removing sunscreen, makeup or oil-based residue. If one gentle cleanse already removes what you wear comfortably, an extra cleansing step is not automatically necessary.
Can I use it on dry skin?
Apply the cleansing oil to dry hands and a dry face first. Add water only after massaging so the product can emulsify before rinsing.
Is it a treatment for acne or clogged pores?
No. It is a cleansing product, not a medical acne treatment. Judge it primarily by how well it removes your daily residue without leaving your skin persistently uncomfortable.
