What it is
What it is
ANUA Heartleaf Succinic Moisture Cleansing Foam is a 150ml facial wash. Lather it with water and rinse; it has a different role from a leave-on Heartleaf toner or pad. Start with the cleansing method and fragrance entry when comparing it.
Separate cleansing and headline ingredients
Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate and Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate appear near the front of the list. Glycerin, Methylpropanediol and Panthenol are also listed, but their presence does not make this wash a replacement for a leave-on moisturizer.
The official list marks Houttuynia Cordata Flower/Leaf/Stem Water at 10,045ppm and Succinic Acid at 5,000ppm. These refer to separate ingredients, not numbers to add into a performance score. Distinguish a plant water from an extract and from an acid rather than guessing the whole formula from the name.
Salicylic Acid and Protease are separate entries. This does not make the product a leave-on BHA serum or a mask to keep on the face. Ingredient presence cannot establish the finished pH or your personal cleansing tolerance. Fragrance is listed, so consider known reactions to fragrance-related ingredients.
Follow a rinse-off routine
The official directions are to take an appropriate amount, build sufficient foam, massage gently over the face and rinse clean. They do not set a long rubbing session or repeated wash count. Do not copy an oil cleanser's dry-face emulsification routine. Check the pack warnings, including the stated restriction for children aged three or younger.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel+M offers a different cleansing base with Zinc PCA and Fragrance. Torriden Dive-In Foam offers Glycerin and hyaluronic entries to compare. These are alternatives, not a ranking by acid names. Decide whether you need makeup removal or a simple facial-wash step, and separate the 150ml main product from gifts and other sizes.

Key ingredients
An extract of Houttuynia cordata, known in Korea as eoseongcho and long used in traditional preparations. It is formulated to calm skin prone to blemishes or visible redness, and appears in scalp products as well. Its strong natural odour means the material is refined before use.
- PanthenolEWG 1
A precursor to vitamin B5 that converts to pantothenic acid once absorbed. It works in two directions at once, holding water and helping settle the skin barrier, which is why it appears in both calming skincare and hair care. Its low irritation profile makes it a regular in sensitive-skin formulas.
A BHA associated with willow bark, distinguished by its oil solubility. That property lets it reach into pores filled with sebum, which is the basis for its use in exfoliating and blemish-focused products. Korea lists it as a functional ingredient for acne-prone skin, commonly at 0.5 percent.
The most widely used humectant in skincare, drawing water toward the skin and holding it in the upper layers. Its interaction with the skin's own water channels has been studied for decades, and it is mild enough to appear across a very wide concentration range. At high levels it turns tacky, so formulas usually pair it with lighter humectants.
