The Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is a cleanser that is supposed to clear out impurities from pores, remove excess sebum, refresh and hydrate the skin, and provide a clean and healthy appearance. The Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam cleanser is not recommended for sensitive and dry skin, which is the opposite of what the company promotes it as being for all skin types, which is false. Which is why I rate it 2 stars because after using this cleanser for a while, my skin started to get really dry, which is the opposite effect of what it’s supposed to do, which is to provide hydration to the skin enough to provide a refreshing sensation to the skin. Also, after using this cleanser for a few days, I developed some white, flaky lines around my nose, which is where I would mostly apply the product. And after removing said flaky lines, I would develop a rash, so I decided to discontinue the product from my skincare routine, and the flaky lines would disappear, which helped my skin overall.
The bottle itself has a really nice color and texture, and it contains 150 mL (5.07 fl.oz) of the product for $13.00, not including shipping, which is relatively a good price. The advertisement of this product did not mention if it had any smell, which it does contain; it’s a very weird cucumber smell that is not very pleasant, which surprised me at first when opening it for the first time. The texture of the product itself is very chunky, and it’s especially felt when applying the product to the face; it feels like seeds rubbing into your face. After rinsing, it does provide a sense of hydration and refreshment, with a feeling of nice, smooth skin, but after some minutes, the face becomes very dry and slightly stiff.
I purchased this product on Amazon, and the shipment took about 2 weeks to arrive. But you can also buy this product on their website, which is anua.us, where you can also find all kinds of products. One product I do recommend buying instead of this cleanser is one of the same brand, which is the Anua HeartLeaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil. It’s a bit more expensive than the Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, costing $17.69, not including shipping at Amazon, but is way better than the Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam for dry and sensitive skin. Additionally, for $4.69, it contains 200 mL (6.76 fl. oz.) of product and has a more aesthetically pleasing design. The best part is that it provides the same benefits that the Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam is supposed to provide.
Initially, I discovered this product on social media, but I first purchased the Anua HeartLeaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, which I absolutely love and recommend. But then I got influenced into buying the Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam as it was advertised that double cleansing was the “best” way to achieve clear skin, and even on the Amazon advertisement for the Anua Cleansing Oil it recommended using it in pairs with the Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, which was a grave mistake because in my case for my skin it did not work, but luckily it did not escalate to a breakout or anything more dangerous for my skin. So I do not recommend the Anua HeartLeaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam for people who have dry and sensitive skin because it completely dries the skin, which puts you at risk of developing a rash. That is why I recommend the Anua Cleansing Oil instead.
