How it works
The Heartleaf calming toner Skin booster is a 200ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The plant extract it is built around is Houttuynia Cordata Extract, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Bifida Ferment Lysate, Tocopherol and Biosaccharide Gum-4, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Houttuynia Cordata Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the toner format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the toner Abib sells in Korea, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and all.

Key actives
Houttuynia Cordata Extractplant extract
Houttuynia Cordata is heartleaf, and it is one of the two or three anchor plants of Korean calming skincare. Its extract carries quercitrin and other flavonoids and is used for the look of redness and blemish-prone skin. It is the entry this toner is named after, and the list carries it.
Bifida Ferment Lysateferment
Bifida Ferment Lysate is a bifidobacteria ferment with the cells broken open. It is the ingredient behind the first-essence category and is used for the look of tired, reactive skin. It is named sixth on this toner's list, alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it twentieth on this toner's list, beside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Biosaccharide Gum-4polysaccharide
A fermentation made sugar polymer, from the same family as Biosaccharide Gum-1 but a different sugar composition. It holds water and leaves a smooth, non-tacky film. The panel names it twenty-first on this toner's list, beside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extractplant extract
Soybean Seed Extract carries isoflavones, plant sterols and soy proteins. It is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract. It is named ninth on this toner's list, alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Where does this toner go in my routine?
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. Anything thinner than a toner goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Houttuynia Cordata Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and all. We match this toner to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Houttuynia Cordata Extract?
Bifida Ferment Lysate, Tocopherol and Biosaccharide Gum-4. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Houttuynia Cordata Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract.

How to use
- Apply it within a minute of cleansing so the surface is still wet and will take the water in.
- Pour a generous amount into damp palms and press it over the face and neck in two passes.
- Move on to serum and cream while the skin still feels tacky rather than waiting for it to dry.
- Do not wipe it on with a dry cotton pad, since the cotton takes a share of the dose and drags on skin that already flushes.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Houttuynia Cordata Extract on the list.
- Introduce this toner on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Houttuynia Cordata Extract rather than to three changes at once.
