Dealing with redness, irritation, or that tight-yet-oily feeling from the tropical heat and humidity can be frustrating. This ampoule is designed as a focused calming solution to restore comfort and balance to stressed skin.

• Who it's for: Ideal for sensitive, irritated, acne-prone, and dehydrated skin types that react to environmental stressors.
• What it does: Powerfully soothes visible redness and irritation with a high concentration of Heartleaf extract, while delivering deep, watery hydration without stickiness.
• Texture & Feel: A lightweight, slightly viscous watery-gel that absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling refreshed, plump, and calm.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. Anua Heartleaf 80 Ampoule: Apply 2-3 drops to your face and gently pat it in.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Lock in the hydration and protect your skin.

Note: Already own a soothing or hydrating serum? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: A gentle wash to start the day.
2. Anua Heartleaf 80 Ampoule: Delivers a calming layer of hydration.
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+): Essential to protect sensitive skin and prevent irritation from UV exposure.

Optional: Add a light moisturiser before sunscreen only if your skin feels tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough for the Mauritian climate.

Wait times: Allow the ampoule 30-60 seconds to absorb before applying sunscreen.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser, then a water-based foam/gel).
2. Anua Heartleaf 80 Ampoule: To soothe any irritation from the day and replenish moisture.
3. Moisturiser: To seal in the ampoule's benefits and support overnight barrier repair.

Optional: On nights you use a separate exfoliant (1-3 times a week), apply this ampoule afterwards to calm the skin and prevent over-drying.

Texture rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to the thickest consistency.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: 2–3 drops is sufficient for the entire face.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed and toned skin. Apply to face and neck.
• Method: Dispense onto fingertips, gently spread across the face, and then lightly pat to enhance absorption.
• Frequency: Start once daily (e.g., PM) to assess tolerance, then increase to twice daily (AM and PM) for consistent soothing and hydration.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin feels flushed after being in the sun: Apply a slightly thicker layer and pat gently to cool and calm redness.
• If you work in air-conditioning: This ampoule provides essential hydration. Seal it with a moisturiser to prevent moisture loss in the dry air.
• If you're using strong actives (retinoids, acids): Use this ampoule before your active to buffer the skin, or after to soothe potential irritation.
• If your skin is oily but feels tight: This provides the perfect oil-free hydration to balance the skin. Follow with a lightweight gel-cream.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid applying to broken or eczematous skin. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs. For teens, this is a suitable, gentle active for managing sensitivity; pair with a basic cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF.

As a gentle, daily-use product, this ampoule fits easily into any routine without needing complex scheduling.

• Daily: Use AM and PM after cleansing.
• On Exfoliation Nights (e.g., Tuesday/Friday): Apply your AHA or BHA product first, wait a few minutes, then follow with the Anua Heartleaf Ampoule to soothe and hydrate.
• On Retinoid Nights (e.g., Monday/Thursday): You can apply the ampoule *before* your retinoid to act as a gentle buffer, reducing potential irritation. Or, apply it after your retinoid has fully absorbed to add back hydration.

Mauritius Note: In the humid summer, this ampoule plus a good SPF might be all the daytime hydration you need. In the drier, cooler winter months, you'll likely want to layer a cream over it.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly hydrated, cooled, and soothed. A feeling of tightness from dehydration is relieved.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you should notice a visible reduction in persistent redness and fewer instances of sensitivity. Skin appears plumper and more balanced. A brand-stated test indicated a 15.7% reduction in oiliness after 4 weeks.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The skin's barrier becomes stronger and more resilient. It reacts less to environmental triggers and feels consistently calmer and more comfortable.

Why use a soothing ampoule, not just a heavy cream for irritation?

A heavy cream can sometimes trap heat and feel suffocating on irritated skin, especially in a humid climate. This lightweight ampoule delivers concentrated calming ingredients (Heartleaf) directly to the skin to address the root of the irritation, while providing watery hydration that feels refreshing, not heavy.

• Works Well With: This is a versatile, calming product that pairs well with almost all other ingredients. It's an excellent "team player" in any routine.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. It is particularly useful for buffering or soothing the skin when using potentially irritating actives like Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin), Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), and Exfoliating Acids (AHA, BHA).
• Avoid On: Do not apply directly to open wounds or weeping rashes.

• Sensitive & Reactive Skin: Excellent. This is its primary target. The high concentration of Heartleaf extract is specifically for calming irritation.
• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides essential hydration without adding oil or a greasy feel, helping to balance sebum production.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Excellent. Heartleaf has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe red, angry breakouts. It is non-comedogenic.
• Normal Skin: Good. A reliable choice for daily hydration and antioxidant protection.
• Dry Skin: Good, but likely not enough on its own. Use this as a hydrating and soothing serum step, and be sure to follow with a nourishing cream or facial oil to lock in the moisture.

• Redness and flushing
• Skin sensitivity and reactivity
• Irritation from environmental stressors (sun, heat, pollution)
• Dehydration and inner dryness
• Compromised or weakened skin barrier
• Inflamed blemishes

Key Actives Explained:

• Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) Extract (80%): The star ingredient. This botanical extract is rich in flavonoids and polyphenols that provide potent soothing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits. It helps to calm redness, reduce irritation, and protect the skin from external stressors.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A powerful humectant and soothing agent. It draws moisture into the skin, helps repair the skin barrier, and calms inflammation.
• Betaine: A gentle hydrating ingredient derived from sugar beets. It helps the skin retain moisture and gives a smooth, silky feel.
• Sodium Hyaluronate: The salt form of Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, providing deep hydration and plumping the skin.

Full INCI List:

Houttuynia Cordata Extract (80%), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract, Panthenol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Arginine, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Formulated Without: Alcohol, fragrance, essential oils, parabens, sulfates.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
• Scent Intensity: 0/5. It has a very faint, almost undetectable natural scent from its ingredients, which dissipates instantly.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. The formulation appears to be free from the 26 common allergens regulated by the EU.

Who should use this: Anyone with sensitive, easily irritated, dehydrated, or breakout-prone skin looking for a calming and hydrating serum.

Who should use with caution: While formulated for sensitivity, those with known allergies to specific botanical extracts should always check the ingredient list.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: The ingredient list appears to be gentle and does not contain actives typically advised against during pregnancy (like high-strength retinoids or salicylic acid). However, as there is insufficient published data on every ingredient's use during pregnancy, we recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new product.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the ampoule to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any reaction.
3. If no redness, itching, or irritation occurs, re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours.
4. If the area remains calm, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use immediately if you experience a reaction.

• Texture: A lightweight, watery gel that is slightly viscous but not sticky. It spreads easily across the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly to a natural, hydrated finish. Leaves a subtle dewy glow without any greasy or oily residue.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but expected to be in a skin-friendly range of approximately 5.0 - 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula appears to be free of most common fungal acne triggers like esters and fatty acids. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: "My skin still feels a bit dry after using it."
  Solution: This is a hydrating serum, not a heavy moisturizer. You likely need a more occlusive layer on top. Apply the ampoule to damp skin, then follow with a ceramide-rich cream or a few drops of facial oil to seal the moisture in.
• Issue: "It feels slightly tacky for a moment."
  Solution: You might be using too much. 2-3 drops is all you need. Gently pat the product into the skin until it is fully absorbed; this usually resolves any initial tackiness within a minute.
• Issue: "I'm not seeing a dramatic difference in my acne."
  Solution: This ampoule is for soothing the inflammation and redness associated with acne, not for treating the root cause (like clogged pores or bacteria). For active acne, pair it with a targeted treatment like a BHA (Salicylic Acid) exfoliant. This ampoule will help your skin tolerate the treatment better.

• Humid Summer: This ampoule's lightweight, watery texture is perfect for Mauritius' hot and humid summers. It provides essential hydration and calming without feeling heavy or sticky, helping to control the excess oiliness and irritation common in this weather. For oily skin types, it might be sufficient hydration under sunscreen for daytime.
• Drier Winter / Air-Conditioning: During the slightly cooler, drier winter months or if you spend significant time in air-conditioned environments, this ampoule is an excellent hydrating base layer. Be sure to follow up with a more substantial cream to prevent moisture from evaporating from your skin in the dry air.

Here’s what real users are saying (aggregated sentiment, no paid reviews):

"This feels like a drink of water for my skin. It's lightweight, absorbs fast, and immediately calms any irritation or redness. I love how dewy and fresh my skin looks after using it. Perfect for hot climates or post-exfoliation."

– Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (thread 2024-05)

"I have combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin and this has been a lifesaver. It significantly calms down my large, red blemishes without drying my skin out. The texture is slightly thick but sinks in beautifully. I use it before my moisturizer and my makeup stays put all day."

– YesStyle review (2025-01)

Fair Caveat: "It's a great product for calming hydration, but for my mature, dry skin it feels more like a watery toner. It's not a one-and-done solution for deep moisture; I definitely need a rich cream on top. It soothes, but doesn't provide intense, lasting hydration on its own for me."

– Amazon customer review (2024-11)

Is this ampoule suitable for rosacea or eczema?

This ampoule is formulated to be extremely gentle and soothing, which can be beneficial for skin prone to redness and irritation. Many users with sensitive conditions find Heartleaf extract calming. However, rosacea and eczema are medical conditions. While this cosmetic product may help manage discomfort, it is not a treatment. We strongly advise consulting with a dermatologist for managing medical skin conditions.

Can I use this instead of a moisturizer?

If you have very oily skin and live in a very humid climate like Mauritius, you might find this ampoule provides enough lightweight hydration for daytime use under sunscreen. However, for most skin types, especially normal, combination, and dry, it works best as a serum step *before* a moisturizer to lock in its benefits.

What's the difference between this and the Anua Heartleaf Toner?

The Toner is designed as a first step after cleansing to hydrate and prep the skin, with a 77% concentration. The Ampoule is a more concentrated treatment step with 80% Heartleaf extract, designed to deliver a more potent dose of the soothing ingredient to target active irritation and provide deeper hydration.

Best For: Those with sensitive, easily irritated, or acne-prone skin who need a reliable, lightweight product to calm redness and provide oil-free hydration.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively soothes redness and calms irritation.
• Provides deep, watery hydration without stickiness.
• Strengthens the skin barrier against environmental stressors.

Keep in Mind:

• It's a soothing serum, not a primary acne treatment or a heavy-duty anti-aging product.
• Dry skin types will need to layer a richer cream on top for sufficient moisture.

• Coverage: Island-wide delivery (Mauritius).
• Processing & Timing: Orders process in 1–2 business days. Delivery typically takes another 1–5 business days after partner pickup.
• Express: May be available. Request on WhatsApp: +230 5 778 2336.
• Liquids/Sensitive Items: Serums like this one are available for pickup or door-to-door delivery only.
• Returns: No change-of-mind exchanges. Opened skincare items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery.
• Refunds (Summary): Applicable for defective/damaged items (report within 48h), wrong items, or manufacturing defects within 6 months.
