| Verdict | Anua's TikTok-viral hero — 80% Houttuynia cordata (heartleaf) extract in a 13-ingredient minimal deck with panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, and betaine. Sister product to the Heartleaf 77% Toner and 77% Clear Pad (already in catalog). The 80% concentration is the brand's signature 'high-percentage botanical' positioning — leans into the K-beauty 'X% of one ingredient' marketing pattern that COSRX Snail 96% pioneered. Genuinely meaningful for redness-prone and sensitized skin. | This is the iconic 2026 PDRN launch. Anua was first to bring a dedicated PDRN capsule serum into mass-market K-beauty, and it ranks fourth on Hwahae Global 2026 for good reason. The texture is genuinely featherweight and the PDRN plus collagen stack delivers visible plumping within a few weeks. The undisputed new hydrator to beat. |
