The Shelf · Calming Skincare for When Your Skin Wants Nothing to Do With You
Anua Heartleaf 70 Intense Calming Cream
The Shelf already sells the Anua Heartleaf 77 toner, and this is not that. It is the cream, and the ingredient list is the argument for it: houttuynia cordata extract is the first ingredient, ahead of everything, and water appears second from last. That is the reverse of how almost every cream on this site is built, and it means the heartleaf is the base of the formula rather than something added to it. Ceramide NP, cholesterol and panthenol are in there doing the barrier work.
