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 gel cleanser is named after, and the list carries it.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it thirty-fifth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Succinic Acidactive
Succinic Acid is a small organic acid used for the look of blemish-prone skin and as a pH adjuster. It is far milder than an AHA at the levels used here. The panel names it thirty-seventh on this gel cleanser's list, beside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Asiaticosideactive
Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised. It is named fortieth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Madecassic Acidactive
Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula. It is named forty-first on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
How to use
- Use it by working it into damp skin and rinsing thoroughly, working it into the skin in the position this cleanser occupies in a full routine, and following up with the next step once it has settled.
Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. 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.
What else is on the list besides Houttuynia Cordata Extract?
Allantoin, Succinic Acid and Asiaticoside. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser'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: Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid and Beta-Glucan.

How it works
The Pore Clay Pack Cleanser Heartleaf Charcoal Foam is a 120ml gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The plant extract it is built around is Houttuynia Cordata Extract, named nineteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Succinic Acid and Asiaticoside, 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 gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. Abib sells this Houttuynia Cordata Extract gel cleanser in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area before full-face use if you have known sensitivities.
- Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or discomfort develops.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

Its potential for skincare is promoted because of its anti-inflammatory (think blemishes, rashes, eczema) and hydrating properties.
