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. The name on the box points at it, and it is named thirtieth on this cleansing oil's own ingredient list.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. It is named twenty-first on this cleansing oil'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. It is named thirteenth on this cleansing oil's list, alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Extractplant extract
Spearmint Extract carries aromatic plant compounds and gives a faint cooling sensation. It also scents a formula. It is named twelfth on this cleansing oil's list, alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extractplant extract
Lavender Flower Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is much milder and less aromatic. It is named twenty-fifth on this cleansing oil'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 cleansing oil go in my routine?
As the first of two evening cleanses, on dry skin and dry hands, before any water reaches the face. Nothing goes under it: this cleansing oil 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?
Gluconolactone, Tocopherol and Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Extract. The order they are printed in on this cleansing oil'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: Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract and Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Pore cleansing oil Heartleaf oil-wash is a 200ml cleansing oil, used as the first of two evening cleanses, on dry skin and dry hands, before any water reaches the face. The plant extract it is built around is Houttuynia Cordata Extract, named thirtieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Gluconolactone, Tocopherol and Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Extract, 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 cleansing oil format rather than by the list alone. Abib sells this Houttuynia Cordata Extract cleansing oil in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cleansing oil on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Houttuynia Cordata Extract on the list.
- Gluconolactone on this list makes this cleansing oil an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
Amy Kassouf, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Its potential for skincare is promoted because of its anti-inflammatory (think blemishes, rashes, eczema) and hydrating properties.

This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
