Let's be real, scrolling through TikTok can feel like a never-ending rabbit hole of dance challenges, funny pet videos, and... skincare routines? Yep, the skincare side of TikTok has exploded, and there's always a new "it" product everyone's raving about. Enter Anua's Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner. This bad boy has been plastered all over my FYP for months, and with good reason. So, naturally, I had to try it for myself.

Now, before I dive in, a quick disclaimer: I have combo skin that leans a little oily in the summer and a little dry in the winter. I also get occasional breakouts, especially when I'm stressed (hello, adulting!), and my skin can be a bit sensitive at times.

Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner Review

Okay, back to the Anua toner! First things first, the hype is real. This stuff is AMAZING. It has this super light, watery texture that sinks into my skin like a dream. No stickiness, no greasiness, and definitely no stinging (which is a win for my sometimes-sensitive skin). Plus, it layers beautifully under all my other skincare products – serums, moisturizers, the whole shebang.

Here's the real kicker: the ingredients list is a dream come true. No alcohol, no fragrance, no essential oils – just a bunch of good-for-your-skin plant extracts. The star of the show is definitely heartleaf extract, a natural humectant with anti-inflammatory properties. Fun fact: this toner boasts a whopping 77% heartleaf content – talk about a potent dose of goodness!

Now, I've seen some reviews saying this toner is a bit overrated. And honestly, I can see where they're coming from. If you have normal skin with zero concerns, it might not seem like it's doing much. But for us folks with sensitive skin or occasional flare-ups, this is a game-changer. It's one of those products I can always rely on, no matter what my skin is going through.

Need to repair a damaged skin barrier? This toner is my go-to. Breakout city because of finals week stress? You bet I'm reaching for the Anua. It's like a calming hug in a bottle for my face.

The best part? This toner works for pretty much everyone. Oily skin? It helps balance things out. Dry skin? Layer it on for a hydration boost (although for super dry skin types, there might be even more hydrating options out there). For my combo skin, it's perfect with a good moisturizer.

Final Thoughts

So, the final verdict? TikTok wasn't wrong about this one. The Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner is a fantastic product for anyone looking for a gentle, effective way to soothe, hydrate, and balance their skin. It's become a staple in my routine, and I highly recommend giving it a try!
