How it works
The Heartleaf 70% Soothing Cream is a 100ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Houttuynia Cordata Extract, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Madecassic Acid, Asiatic 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 cream format rather than by the list alone. Anua sells this Houttuynia Cordata Extract cream in Korea, and this is that version.

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 cream is named after, and the list carries it.
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. The panel names it eleventh on this cream's list, beside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Asiatic Acidactive
Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers. The panel names it twelfth on this cream'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 thirteenth on this cream's list, alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it nineteenth on this cream's list, beside Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream 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.
What else is on the list besides Houttuynia Cordata Extract?
Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid and Asiaticoside. The order they are printed in on this cream'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: Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Tocopherol.

How to use
- Use this cream AM and/or PM, as the last skincare step, after serum. Pat or smooth it on rather than rubbing, and give it a moment to settle before layering the next step.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Houttuynia Cordata Extract on the list.
- Introduce this cream 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.

Centella can make your skin appear more hydrated, plumper and healthier.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
