ANUA Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad 70ea

ANUA Heartleaf 77% Clear Pad packs two steps into one, an oversized 7cm dual-sided pad soaked in the brand's 77% Heartleaf Soothing Toner. The embossed side is built for gentle daily exfoliation using gluconolactone, a PHA that works without the irritation some AHAs and BHAs can cause, while the smooth reverse side calms and hydrates in the same swipe.
