A gentle, milky lotion that provides immediate and long-lasting moisture without a greasy feel. Formulated with a high concentration of Heartleaf Extract, it excels at soothing redness and irritation, making it ideal for skin stressed by heat, humidity, or harsh products.

• Texture: Lightweight, non-greasy milk lotion
• Finish: Soft, hydrated, natural glow
• Best For: All skin types, especially sensitive, combination, oily, and acne-prone skin that needs soothing hydration.
• Key Benefits: Calms irritation and redness, provides deep hydration, strengthens the skin barrier.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Anua Daily Relief Lotion): Apply 1-2 pumps to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Thicker Cream (Optional PM): Always protect your skin with sunscreen in the morning. At night, if you feel extra dry, you can layer a richer cream on top, but for most in Mauritius, this lotion is sufficient.

Note: Already own a similar moisturiser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. Anua Daily Relief Lotion: Apply 1-2 pumps. Its lightweight texture works perfectly for daytime humidity.
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+): The most crucial step to protect your skin and the results of your routine.

Optional Additions:

• Targeted Serum: If you have specific concerns like dark spots or persistent oiliness, you can apply a serum (like Vitamin C or Niacinamide) before the lotion.

Wait Times: Allow about 30-60 seconds between your serum and the lotion, and wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (2-3 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser first, then a water-based foam/gel).
2. Anua Daily Relief Lotion: Apply 1-2 pumps to hydrate and soothe your skin overnight.
3. Occlusive (Optional): If your skin feels particularly dry from air-conditioning, you can layer a thicker barrier cream on top as a final step.

Optional Additions:

• Exfoliant (1-3x/week): On nights you exfoliate with a toner or serum (AHA/BHA), apply it after cleansing and before this lotion. Do not use on the same night as strong retinoids.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: 1-2 pumps for the face and neck.
• Apply to: Clean, slightly damp skin after your toner or serum steps.
• Method: Smooth gently over the skin and pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Use morning and evening.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very Oily Skin? This lotion's lightweight feel is often enough. Your sunscreen might provide sufficient moisture for the day.
• Dry from Air-Conditioning? Apply this lotion, wait a minute, then layer a richer cream or a few drops of a facial oil on top at night.
• Sensitive or Irritated Skin? This is your go-to. Its high heartleaf content is designed to calm redness and soothe irritation. Use it as your primary moisturiser to help repair your skin barrier.
• Under Makeup? It's an excellent choice. The non-greasy formula absorbs well and helps create a smooth base without causing makeup to pill. Wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or primer.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Suitable for all ages, including teens, due to its gentle formulation.

This is a gentle, daily-use moisturiser designed for barrier support and hydration.

• Daily: Use this lotion every morning (AM) and every evening (PM) as your moisturiser step.

If You Use Strong Actives:

This lotion is the perfect partner to buffer stronger treatments. Use it to soothe and hydrate your skin on nights you use exfoliants or retinoids.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) -> Anua Lotion
  • Tue: Soothing Night (Gentle Serum -> Anua Lotion)
  • Wed: Retinoid -> Anua Lotion
  • Thu: Soothing Night (Gentle Serum -> Anua Lotion)
  • Fri: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) -> Anua Lotion
  • Sat: Soothing Night (Gentle Serum -> Anua Lotion)
  • Sun: Retinoid -> Anua Lotion

Mauritius Note: In the humid summer, this lotion may be all you need. During the drier, cooler winter months, you might want to layer it under a slightly richer cream at night.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly soothed, hydrated, and comfortable. Redness may appear slightly calmer. The finish is soft and non-greasy.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent daily use, you should notice a more resilient skin barrier. Skin feels less reactive and tight. Overall hydration levels improve, leading to a plumper, healthier appearance.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Chronic redness and sensitivity are visibly reduced. The skin's oil-water balance improves, meaning combination or oily skin may appear less shiny during the day. The complexion looks calmer and more even-toned.

• Why this lotion, not skipping moisturiser on oily skin? Many believe oily skin doesn't need a moisturiser, which can lead to dehydration. When skin is dehydrated, it often produces even more oil to compensate. This lightweight lotion provides the necessary water-based hydration to keep skin balanced, helping to regulate sebum production over time without clogging pores or adding grease.

• Works Well With:
  • All Actives: This lotion is an ideal, soothing buffer for potentially irritating ingredients like Retinoids, Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA). Apply it after your active serum to hydrate and calm the skin.
  • Hydrating Toners & Serums: Pairs perfectly with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, and Beta-Glucan. Apply after these to lock in moisture.
  • Sunscreens & Makeup: Its non-pilling, lightweight formula makes it a great daytime moisturiser under sunscreen and makeup.
• Use Carefully: No significant incompatibilities. It is designed to be a gentle, foundational moisturiser that works well with virtually any routine.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides essential hydration in a lightweight, non-greasy formula that won't feel heavy or clog pores.
• Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. The formula is specifically designed to be hypoallergenic and soothing, with 70% Heartleaf Extract to calm redness and inflammation associated with breakouts and sensitivity.
• Dry Skin: Good as a hydrating layer. In a humid climate like Mauritius, it may be sufficient for daytime. For very dry skin or in air-conditioned environments, it works best layered under a richer cream or facial oil at night.
• Normal Skin: A perfect daily moisturiser for balanced, comfortable hydration.

• Redness and Irritation: The high concentration of Heartleaf Extract provides powerful soothing and calming benefits for stressed skin.
• Dehydration: A blend of three types of Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, and Beta-Glucan delivers deep and lasting hydration to plump the skin and relieve tightness.
• Compromised Skin Barrier: Ingredients like Ceramide NP and Arginine help to repair and strengthen the skin's natural defense system, making it less reactive over time.
• Sensitivity: A hypoallergenic, clinically tested formula with EWG green-grade ingredients makes it suitable for even very sensitive skin.

Key Actives Explained:

• Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) Extract (70%): The star ingredient. A traditional Korean herb known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It helps to calm redness, reduce irritation, and control excess sebum, making it excellent for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
• Phytosqualane: A plant-derived, skin-identical ingredient that is an excellent emollient. It helps to moisturise and soften the skin, improving elasticity without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Triple Hyaluronic Acid: A blend of Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, and Acetylated Sodium Hyaluronate. These different molecular weights deliver hydration to multiple layers of the skin for a plump, deeply moisturised effect.
• Ceramide NP: A crucial lipid that is a natural component of the skin barrier. Adding it topically helps to repair and reinforce the barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against irritants.
• Beta-Glucan: A polysaccharide derived from oats or mushrooms, known for its incredible soothing and hydrating capabilities—even more so than hyaluronic acid. It helps to reduce redness and support skin repair.

Full INCI List: Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phytosqualane, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Water, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Carbomer, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Arginine, Fructooligosaccharides, Beta-Glucan, Glucose, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide NP, Acetylated Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin.

• Fragrance: This product is fragrance-free and does not contain any added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: It has a neutral, barely-there scent from its raw ingredients. Intensity: 0/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided ingredient list.

Who Should Use With Caution:

This lotion is designed for all skin types, including the most sensitive. However, as with any new product, it's always wise to be cautious.

• Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) Prone: While generally lightweight, this product contains Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, and Shea Butter, which can sometimes be triggers for fungal acne. Please patch test if you are highly sensitive to these ingredients.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the lotion to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If your skin shows no reaction, repeat the test for a second day to ensure compatibility.
4. If irritation occurs at any point, discontinue use.

For Kids & Teens: This formula is gentle enough to be suitable for teenagers dealing with sensitivity or breakouts, as part of a simple routine of cleansing, moisturising, and applying sunscreen.

• Texture & Finish: A lightweight, milky lotion that spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It leaves the skin feeling soft, hydrated, and soothed with a natural, non-greasy finish.
• Scent: Fragrance-free.
• pH: The brand does not publicly disclose the pH, but given its focus on sensitive skin and barrier health, it is likely formulated to be mildly acidic, around pH 5.5-6.5.
• Fungal Acne (FA) Compatibility: Contains some ingredients that may pose a risk for highly FA-prone individuals (Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Shea Butter). Patch testing is strongly advised if this is a concern. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: The lotion feels a bit sticky after application.
  • Quick Fix: You may be using too much. Try reducing the amount to a single pump. Applying it to slightly damp skin can also improve absorption and reduce any tacky feeling.
• Issue: My skin still feels dry after using it.
  • Quick Fix: This is a lightweight lotion. If you have very dry skin or are in a dry environment (like an air-conditioned room), it might not be occlusive enough on its own. Use it as a hydrating serum step and layer a richer cream or a few drops of facial oil on top to seal in the moisture.
• Issue: I think it might be causing small bumps (potential fungal acne).
  • Quick Fix: Discontinue use on the affected area for a few days and see if the bumps subside. If they do, the product may unfortunately be a trigger for you. You can try reintroducing it on a small, unaffected area to confirm.

• Humid Summer: This lotion is an ideal moisturiser for Mauritius's hot and humid summers. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture provides ample hydration without feeling heavy or suffocating on the skin, and it helps to soothe heat-induced redness.
• Drier Winter & A/C: During the cooler, drier winter months or if you spend significant time in air-conditioned spaces, you may find this lotion works best as a hydrating layer. For dry skin types, consider applying a more occlusive cream on top, especially at night, to prevent moisture loss. Oily and combination types might find it sufficient year-round.

However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if your needs are slightly different:

• For More Intense Barrier Repair (Drier Skin): ETUDE SOONJUNG 2X BARRIER INTENSIVE CREAM 60ML — Choose this if your skin is dry, damaged, or needs a richer, more occlusive cream. Why: It focuses heavily on Panthenol and Madecassoside in a cream texture to provide robust barrier reinforcement, ideal for drier winter months or post-procedure skin.
• For Oily Skin with Active Acne & Clogged Pores: SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 DAYS MIRACLE CREAM — Choose this if your main goal is to treat breakouts and texture. Why: It contains exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA) and Tea Tree to actively target acne and unclog pores, making it more of a treatment moisturiser.
• For a Dewy, "Glass Skin" Finish: Beauty of Joseon DYNASTY CREAM 50ML — Choose this if your goal is a plump, glowing, and intensely dewy complexion. Why: Formulated with Rice Bran Water and Ginseng, it provides deep nourishment and a signature radiant finish that's richer than the Anua lotion.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable moisturiser at home, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair assessment of its results before switching.

• Format: 200ml plastic bottle with a convenient and hygienic pump dispenser.
• Sustainability: The bottle is made of recyclable plastic. Please check local recycling guidelines in Mauritius for proper disposal. Anua is committed to sustainable practices and eco-friendly packaging.

Can I use this lotion on my body?
Yes, absolutely. Its gentle, soothing, and hydrating formula makes it an excellent body lotion, especially for sensitive skin or after sun exposure.

Is this product suitable for eczema-prone skin?
Many users with sensitive and eczema-prone skin have found it to be very calming and hydrating. Its barrier-supporting ingredients like Ceramides and Beta-Glucan are beneficial for eczema. However, as eczema triggers are highly individual, we strongly recommend performing a patch test first.

Is it safe for children or babies?
While the formula is very gentle and hypoallergenic, it is designed and tested for adult skin. For babies and very young children, we recommend using products specifically formulated for their delicate skin. It is generally suitable for teenagers.

Will this help with my acne?
This lotion can help with acne by calming the inflammation and redness associated with breakouts. Its lightweight texture also provides hydration without clogging pores. However, it does not contain active acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid. It is best used as a supportive moisturiser in an anti-acne routine.
