Anua - Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil - 200ml
A lightweight Korean cleansing oil designed to melt away makeup, SPF, excess sebum and pore buildup — without leaving the skin feeling greasy, heavy or stripped afterwards. Especially loved by people with sensitive, congestion-prone or redness-prone skin who want a cleaner, smoother skin feel while keeping the skin barrier calm and balanced.
Anua’s Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is a non-comedogenic, acne-friendly first cleanse that deeply removes impurities while maintaining skin comfort. The silky oil texture emulsifies effortlessly with water into a soft milky cleanse, helping dissolve long-wear makeup, sunscreen, blackheads and excess oil with minimal friction on the skin.
Unlike many heavier cleansing oils or rich cleansing balms, this formula feels lightweight, elegant and refreshing on the skin — making it especially popular among combination, oily and congestion-prone skin types looking for a thorough cleanse without residue.

Texture & Finish
A lightweight silky oil texture that transforms into a soft milky cleanse when mixed with water. Leaves the skin feeling clean, smooth and balanced rather than overly rich, greasy or tight after cleansing.
Why we love this product
Deep cleanse without stripping the skin
This cleansing oil effectively removes makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum and pore buildup while still feeling gentle and comfortable on the skin barrier.
Lightweight, elegant texture
Unlike many richer cleansing oils, this formula feels lightweight and rinses cleanly without leaving behind a heavy or oily residue.
Perfect for double cleansing
Oil cleansers work by dissolving oil-based impurities such as SPF, makeup and excess sebum more effectively than water-based cleansers alone. This makes it an ideal first step in a Korean double cleansing routine.
Acne-friendly & non-comedogenic
Formulated with non-comedogenic oils to help keep pores feeling clearer and more balanced, making it especially suitable for congestion-prone skin types.
Effortless makeup & SPF removal
Melts away makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup with minimal rubbing or friction on the skin.
