Anua Heartleaf 80 Moisture Soothing Ampoule Mask: Heartleaf at Near-Serum Concentration, on a Sheet

Anua's Heartleaf 80 line hangs on a single spec: 80% heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract as the base. That's not marketing rounding. It's the literal essence saturation. This sheet mask uses that same 80% heartleaf base and layers it into an ampoule-style essence with panthenol, allantoin, and low-weight hyaluronic acid. The sheet itself is cupra microfiber, thin enough to conform to facial contours, saturated enough to deliver essence for a full 20 minutes without drying out.

This is the mask to reach for when skin is flared, red, post-sun, or just stressed. The heartleaf concentration is higher than most competing soothing masks, and the formula is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and essential-oil-free. Honest positioning: a calming mask first, a hydration mask second.

What It Does

Heartleaf's active polyphenols (quercetin, quercitrin) reduce inflammation markers in the skin. At 80% saturation over 20 minutes of occlusion, those polyphenols have time to act on redness, post-acne inflammation, and reactive flares. Panthenol and allantoin back up the calming effect and support barrier recovery. Hyaluronic acid provides surface hydration. Not an anti-aging mask, not a brightening mask, a purely calming format.

Who It's For

• Acne-prone skin: Calming without clogging, good for flare-prone weeks.
• Redness or rosacea-adjacent concerns: Heartleaf is the clinical standard for Korean calming.
• Post-sun recovery: Soothes burn and redness after unexpected sun exposure.
• Post-procedure: Safe after lasers, peels, microneedling once skin is sealed.
• Active users: Recovery mask on retinol or acid nights.

How to Use

After cleansing and toner, unfold the sheet and apply to clean skin. Adjust around eyes, nose, and mouth for full contact. Leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and pat remaining essence into skin. Follow with serum and cream. For post-procedure or flared skin, use daily for 4 to 7 days. For routine calming, 2 to 3 times per week.

Refrigerate for extra cooling in hot weather or during a rosacea flare.

FAQ

Is 80% heartleaf actually meaningful?

Yes. Most heartleaf masks use 30 to 50% extract. At 80% saturation, you're getting higher polyphenol exposure, which translates to stronger calming. For users with serious redness or inflammation, this concentration is noticeably more effective than standard formulas.

Anua vs Abib heartleaf masks?

Different formats for different needs. Abib's Heartleaf Jelly uses a thick gel pad for hydration-first calming. Anua's Heartleaf 80 is a thinner sheet with higher-concentration essence. For deep hydration, Abib. For pure heartleaf soothing at higher strength, Anua.

How long until I see results?

Visible redness reduction after one use. Sustained calming of chronic reactivity over 2 to 4 weeks of regular use. For flare management, expect faster turnaround within 24 to 48 hours.

Can I use this daily?

Yes. The formula is gentle enough for daily use. During acne flares or post-procedure recovery, daily use for a week is a standard Korean protocol. For routine maintenance, 2 to 3 times weekly is plenty.

Will it leave residue under makeup?

No. The essence fully absorbs within 2 to 3 minutes of patting in. Makeup applies clean. For AM use, follow with SPF and proceed normally.
