How it works
The Heartleaf 77 B3Zinc Soothing Cream is a 80ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Exosomes, named thirty-ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Allantoin and Zinc PCA, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Exosomes stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream Anua sells in Korea, Exosomes and all.

- Isoquercitrin and Quercetin further down the same list
- Exosomes named thirty-ninth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
Key actives
Exosomesactive
Exosomes are the tiny membrane-bound packets cells release to carry molecules between them. In Korean formulas they are a recent conditioning ingredient, usually plant or ferment derived and declared at very low levels. The name on the box points at it, and it is named thirty-ninth on this cream's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named nineteenth on this cream's list, alongside Exosomes.
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. It is named twentieth on this cream's list, alongside Exosomes.
Zinc PCAactive
Zinc PCA pairs zinc with the humectant PCA. It is used in oily and blemish-prone formulas for the look of shine and visible pores, and it hydrates at the same time. It is named thirty-fourth on this cream's list, alongside Exosomes.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. It is named fortieth on this cream's list, alongside Exosomes.
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 Exosomes and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Exosomes and all. We match this cream 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 Exosomes?
Niacinamide, Allantoin and Zinc PCA. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Exosomes sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Gluconolactone, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid and Tocopherol.

How to use
- Apply it last, after toner and serum, so the thinner layers are not trapped under a gel.
- Press a thin layer over slightly damp skin with flat hands rather than massaging it in for a long time.
- Use a little more on the cheeks and less on the nose and forehead if those areas run oily.
- Do not add a second cream over the top, because doubling the closing step is what makes skin feel loaded.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Exosomes on the list.
- Citric Acid and Gluconolactone on this list makes this cream an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What professionals say
What professionals say
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.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic 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.

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.
