What it is
Sensitive skin that also gets oily is one of the harder routines to balance — most calming creams are too rich, and most oil-control products end up stripping or irritating. The Anua Heartleaf 77 B3 Zinc Soothing Cream sits at that exact intersection and handles it well. The base is 77% Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) flower, leaf, and stem water — not just extract in water, but the plant's own aqueous medium, which is what makes the texture feel genuinely cooling and lightweight rather than thick or paste-like. Niacinamide (at 1000ppm, roughly 0.1%) works alongside Zinc PCA (10ppm) to address the excess sebum and uneven tone that often come with reactive skin. The formula also includes Ceramide NP for barrier reinforcement, Allantoin for surface soothing, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (a gentle PHA-adjacent exfoliant) to keep pores clear, and Houttuynia Cordata Exosome at 150ppb — a newer biotechnology ingredient that supports cellular-level barrier repair. The gel-cream texture spreads easily, absorbs without any stickiness, and leaves skin feeling calm and settled — not matte, not dewy, just comfortable and even. Non-comedogenic tested and fragrance-free in formulation.
Ingredients
(1) Houttuynia Cordata Flower Leaf Stem Water (77%): the anti-inflammatory hero — Anua's signature Heartleaf base that soothes reactive skin and supports a calmer complexion from the first application
(2) Niacinamide (1000ppm): improves skin tone, reduces the appearance of pores, and helps regulate oil production — well-tolerated even by sensitive skin
(3) Zinc PCA (10ppm): targets excess sebum at the source and works alongside Niacinamide to reduce shine and support clearer-looking skin
(4) Ceramide NP: replenishes the skin's lipid barrier to prevent moisture loss — particularly important for skin that is simultaneously dry and reactive
(5) Houttuynia Cordata Exosome (150ppb): a biotechnology-derived ingredient that supports cellular barrier repair and reinforces the soothing properties of the Heartleaf base

How to use
After cleansing and toning, take a small amount — roughly a pea-to-almond size depending on your skin — and spread evenly across the face using fingertips. Gently pat rather than rub to encourage absorption into sensitised or post-breakout areas. It absorbs within about 30 seconds and does not require a waiting period before applying SPF or makeup. Can be used morning and evening as the final moisturising step. On breakout-prone areas or days when skin feels reactive and hot, a slightly more generous layer pressed gently into the skin provides extra immediate calming.
