| Verdict | The OG calming toner pad — 40,000ppm heartleaf extract on a dual-textured pad (gauze side for gentle exfoliation, cotton side for soothing) that launched an entire product category. Two consecutive Olive Young Awards. Calms redness, refines texture, and preps skin for the rest of your routine in one swipe. The secret weapon for acne-prone skin that can't tolerate BHA: heartleaf's anti-inflammatory action tackles the inflammation without the purge. At $20 for 80 pads, the per-use cost is almost embarrassing. | Anua's cult-status toner pad in its most functional format: 70 dual-sided cotton pads pre-soaked in a 77% heartleaf + PHA + madecassoside + niacinamide formula. The embossed side physically exfoliates and unclogs pores; the smooth side calms and hydrates. The single most efficient way to add exfoliation and calming to a routine in one swipe. Olive Young consistent bestseller. |
