- Apply to: Cleansed and toned face.
-
Method:
- Carefully unfold the mask and place it evenly on your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Relax and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining ampoule into your skin until fully absorbed. Don't rinse it off!

Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This mask is a perfect addition to your weekly routine, especially on "recovery" nights.
-
Example Week (PM Focus):
- Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) Night
- Tue: Anua Heartleaf Mask (Soothing & Recovery)
- Wed: Hydration Night (your usual serums)
- Thu: Retinoid Night (if you use one)
- Fri: Anua Heartleaf Mask (Calm skin for the weekend)
- Sat: Hydration Night
- Sun: Soothing Night (gentle routine)
Rule: This mask is excellent for use on nights after you've exfoliated or used strong actives like retinoids, as it helps to calm potential irritation and replenish hydration.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediate (First Use): Skin feels instantly cooled, soothed, and deeply hydrated. Visible redness may appear reduced.
- 2β4 Weeks (Consistent Use 1-3x/week): Skin feels more balanced and resilient. The frequency and intensity of redness or irritation may decrease. Skin texture appears plumper and more even due to consistent hydration.
- 4β8+ Weeks: The skin's barrier feels stronger and less reactive to environmental stressors. Consistent use contributes to a clearer, calmer complexion.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Instead of: Leaving a sheet mask on until it's completely dry, thinking "more time means more absorption."
- Use this instead: Apply the Anua Heartleaf Mask for the recommended 15-20 minutes. Removing it while it's still damp ensures your skin gets all the benefits. Leaving a mask on until it dries can have the opposite effect, drawing moisture back out of your skin through osmosis.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Most skincare ingredients. It's particularly beneficial when used after gentle exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, PHAs) or on alternate nights with retinoids to provide calming and barrier support.
- Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. As it's a soothing product, it's designed to be highly compatible.
- How to Layer: Always apply to a clean face. Use after watery toners and before heavier creams or oils. This mask replaces your ampoule/serum step on the nights you use it.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily & Combination: Excellent. Provides deep, lightweight hydration and soothing without adding any greasy or heavy feel.
- Sensitive & Acne-Prone: Ideal. The high concentration of Heartleaf extract is specifically chosen to calm irritation, reduce redness, and support a healthy skin environment.
- Dry & Dehydrated: Very good. Delivers a significant boost of hydration. Drier skin types should follow up with a nourishing moisturiser to lock in all the benefits.
- Normal: A perfect weekly treatment to maintain skin balance and soothe any environmental stress.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
