Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil.

"This product went so viral in 2024, everybody and their mamas were talking about it, and it [...] was targeted at people with oily skin who are prone to breakouts. My skin was acting up when I gave it a try, and it broke me out. [...] I used it for about two weeks and it left my skin worse than it met it. [...] Instead of removing things from my pores, it put things into mine, and I got a lot of clogged pores and closed comedones in [...] places I typically don't break out. [...] This product has worked for some people, so I don't think everybody's lying, but [...] if you're acne-prone I'd consider micellar water first before jumping on oil cleansers."

"The worst Anua product at Ulta has got to be the Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil. It kind of just like misses the mark for me personally on a couple different levels. Number one, it smells weird. It has this very medicinal smell. The heartleaf extract [...] does have a medicinal, earthy, planty, green kind of smell, [...] but I think there's some artificial stuff happening in here as well. This is a fragrance product, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't strike me as pleasant. It just strikes me as kind of medicine-y in a non-appealing way. And I like earthy plant-like smells, but for whatever reason, this is not it. When I used this product, it actually irritated my skin. It kind of warms up and felt like it burned. [...] It just felt kind of fiery on my skin. Now, I do have sensitive skin. I don't generally use products with fragrance on my facial skin, but [...] it did create some warmth and some irritation that just felt very uncomfortable for my skin. And then the few times that I did use this I ended up with a pimple in not a normal spot."

"K Beauty is iconic for the double cleanse. Number one cleansing oil in K Beauty is the Anua cleansing oil. This is the cleansing oil that draws all the sebum out. I love it. It helps to break up makeup and sunscreen. You have to use it for about 60 seconds. Then you [...] wash it off completely and go in with a water-based cleanser. This is the best one for pores, a deep cleanser. I love this, it gets into all of it, it helps to remove any extra grime and dirt on the skin. Heartleaf powder creates really dense, dense bubbles like the ones you see on my face right now. Dense bubbles are able to foam into your pores. This makes my skin feel really clean. [...] You want to feel hydrated, not too strict or dry. Your cleanser is perfect for those with sensitive skin. The main ingredient is heartleaf. I love that."

"It has anti-inflammatory calming hoaba seed oil that helps in a non-pore clogging way, mimics skin's natural sebum but helps at the same time cleanse. [...] So you don't have to worry about it contributing to more clogged pores. And then also grape seed oil that is also an antioxidant. [...] So for those who are oily, acne prone, looking for an oil based cleanser, a cleansing oil that helps to remove makeup and product buildup without contributing to clogged pores, I highly recommend checking out this product."

"As far as this cleansing oil goes, once you get past the redness, it does feel nice on the face, but I want to see how it rinses off because that's another thing with a lot of cleansing oils is that they are not the most pleasant to rinse off, they can take quite a while and that's just not my favorite. [...] It did rinse off relatively quickly, I think I only had to do like four passes over my skin for the oil to come off, which is not bad for a cleansing oil. Sometimes it's super frustrating trying to get that off your face and that's one of the biggest determining factors as to whether I like a cleansing oil or not."

"This is the ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil. It's an oil that cleanses. I go through cleansing oils constantly because I'm washing my face every time I film, like three times a day. So this is actually a product that, of course, will remove your makeup, dissolve the makeup, but also helps to remove blackheads and sebaceous filaments effortlessly. Sebaceous filaments are those little dots in your nose that aren't necessarily full on blackheads, but they look like blackheads. So like the name suggests, it contains Heartleaf, which is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, it has antibacterial properties. So not only will it actually come off your skin and emulsify, it's also good for your skin. It has added benefits."
