Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner — Reddit Reviews
by Anua
Updated October 21, 2026
77% heartleaf toner calms redness and layers weightlessly; breakout-prone skin may revolt.
What the community says
A watery heartleaf toner with panthenol, glycerin, Centella Asiatica Extract, and multiple hyaluronic acids, built as a soothing first layer. It suits redness-prone, dehydrated, oily skin, though acne-prone users report breakouts and occasional burning.
