Bottom line A heartleaf-plus toner — Houttuynia layered with bifida ferment, hyaluronic acid, centella and soothing botanicals for calm, hydrated skin.
Editorial verdict / Social intelligence
A heartleaf-plus toner — Houttuynia layered with bifida ferment, hyaluronic acid, centella and soothing botanicals for calm, hydrated skin. 1
- Beauty benefit
- A 'skin booster' calming toner that blends Houttuynia cordata extract with bifida ferment lysate, multiple hyaluronic-acid forms, centella, and antioxidant botanicals for hydration plus soothing.
- Does it work
- Yes for hydration and soothing. It pairs heartleaf's calming, antioxidant flavonoids with humectants (HA, xylitol), a ferment, and centella — a comfortable, well-rounded toner for sensitive skin. Honest notes: heartleaf sits seventh on the list (after water and several humectants and a ferment), so it's a lighter heartleaf dose than the Anua 77% toner, and the same lab/traditional-evidence and processing-variability caveats apply. Vegan-friendly aside from confirming the ferment source. See the verified data below →
Consensus strength
ModerateHeartleaf is widely loved in K-beauty as a gentle calming ingredient for sensitive and blemish-prone skin and has real anti-inflammatory/antioxidant activity in lab and animal studies plus long traditional use — but controlled facial-cosmetic evidence is essentially absent, the actives vary by processing, and it's plant-derived (vegan).

What you'd only know from the reviews
-
Heartleaf is the seventh ingredient here, so this is a 'heartleaf-and-friends' toner rather than a heartleaf-maximalist one — its strength is the broader soothing-and-hydrating blend (bifida ferment, HA, centella), with heartleaf as one calming player among several. 6
