The Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is designed to be the first step in your evening skincare routine, effectively breaking down oil-based impurities and makeup.
When applied to dry skin, the oil binds to sebum, makeup, and environmental pollutants. Upon contact with water, it transforms into a milky emulsion that can be easily rinsed away, taking all the impurities with it.
Effortless Makeup Removal: From foundation to mascara, users report makeup melting off with minimal effort, reducing the need for harsh rubbing.
Pore Care: Regular use can help manage blackheads and keep pores clear without abrasive exfoliation.
Skin Comfort: The heartleaf extract ensures that while cleansing, the skin feels calm and comfortable, not tight or irritated, a significant benefit for sensitive skin.
Balanced Feel: It rinses cleanly, leaving the skin soft, hydrated, and ready for subsequent skincare steps, making it ideal for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
Consistency is Key: Use nightly, even on days without makeup, to cleanse away SPF, pollution, and excess sebum.
Gentle Massage: Spend adequate time (60 seconds) gently massaging the oil onto your dry face to allow it to effectively dissolve impurities.
Thorough Emulsification: Don't skip the emulsification step. This is crucial for the oil to turn milky and rinse clean without leaving a film.
Before your first full application, it is highly recommended to perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the cleansing oil to an inconspicuous area of your skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to observe for any adverse reactions like redness, itching, or irritation. If no reaction occurs, proceed with full use.
Skin Types: This cleansing oil is formulated for all skin types, with particular benefits for sensitive skin and acne-prone skin due to its soothing ingredients and non-comedogenic nature.
Skincare Routines: It integrates seamlessly into a double cleansing routine as the first step, followed by a water-based cleanser.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its efficacy and shelf life.
Hygiene: Ensure the pump is clean and free from residue. Avoid introducing water directly into the bottle to prevent contamination.
Shelf Life: Follow the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol (usually a number followed by 'M' for months) on the packaging, typically 12 months once opened.
