ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild

ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild

The fragrance-free version of ANUA's best-selling cleansing oil — with twice the Heartleaf. The ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild is a streamlined 12-ingredient formula built for sensitive, fragrance-reactive, and reactive skin — free of fragrance, Neem, Turmeric, and essential oil botanicals, and formulated with 20,000ppm Heartleaf Extract (double the original's 10,000ppm) to compensate with more concentrated calming action. Clinically tested for 21.60% blackhead reduction after a single use. The lightweight Isododecane-based carrier spreads effortlessly and emulsifies into a milky rinse on water contact, leaving no residue.

Vegan, cruelty-free, non-comedogenic — suitable for all skin types including sensitive, acne-prone, and fragrance-reactive.

Size: 200ml / 6.76 fl. oz.

How to use

Dispense 2–3 pumps of the ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild onto completely dry palms and massage evenly over a dry face in gentle circular motions for 60 seconds. Add a small amount of lukewarm water to emulsify — the oil turns milky white. Continue massaging briefly, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with a water-based cleanser such as the ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam for a complete double cleanse.

Why we love it

The original ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is excellent — but the botanicals that make it effective (Neem, Turmeric, Holy Basil) are also the ones that can cause reactions in fragrance-sensitive or reactive skin. The Mild version solves this with a different approach: strip the formula back to 12 essential ingredients, remove everything that could irritate, and then double the Heartleaf concentration to 20,000ppm so the soothing and calming work gets done by higher Heartleaf rather than by a complex botanical lineup. The result is a cleansing oil that's both simpler and more concentrated where it matters — and the 21.60% single-use blackhead reduction result from Korea's Dermatology Research Institute confirms the simplified formula is no less effective at the core job. The lighter Isododecane carrier also gives the Mild a noticeably softer, less viscous texture than the original — it spreads more easily, emulsifies more readily, and rinses away more quickly, which makes it especially appealing for those who've found heavier oil cleansers difficult to remove.

Key ingredients

• Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) Extract at 20,000ppm — Double the concentration of the original formula. Higher Heartleaf delivers more of its calming, soothing, and skin-balancing properties through the cleansing step — doing the work that the botanical complex does in the original, without any of the fragrance or irritation risk.
• Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil — The only botanical oil in the formula. Provides gentle sebum control and anti-inflammatory support — taking on the pore-care role of the original's Neem trifecta in a single, cleaner ingredient. Its presence gives the formula a faint natural scent without added fragrance.
• Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil + Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — Sunflower Seed Oil nourishes with linoleic acid — a fatty acid that supports healthy sebum balance in acne-prone skin. Vitamin E protects the skin surface and stabilizes the formula's oils.
• Lightweight emollient base (Ethylhexyl Stearate + Cetyl Ethylhexanoate + Triethylhexanoin + Isododecane) — Four lightweight esters and a volatile carrier that together create the Mild's noticeably softer, less viscous texture — spreading more easily, emulsifying more quickly, and rinsing away more cleanly than heavier oil cleansers.
• Self-emulsifying system (Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate + Sorbitan Sesquioleate) — The same oil-to-milk emulsification system as the original, turning the oil milky white on water contact for a thorough, residue-free rinse.

Mild vs. original — which to choose

The ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild is the better choice for fragrance-sensitive, reactive, or easily irritated skin — especially anyone with known sensitivity to Neem, Turmeric, or essential oil botanicals, or anyone who prefers the lightest possible oil cleanser texture. The ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil (original) is better for those who want a richer botanical supporting cast — Neem trifecta, Moringa, Turmeric, and a full 22-ingredient formula — and whose skin tolerates fragrance. Both use the same self-emulsifying pore-clearing system and Heartleaf soothing.

Who it's for

The ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil Mild is ideal for all skin types — particularly fragrance-sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin that needs an effective first-cleanse oil without any irritation risk. Pairs with the ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam for a complete, fully fragrance-free ANUA double-cleanse routine. Explore more from ANUA: Shop ANUA
