Anua Heartleaf LHA Moisture Peeling Gel

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-01

What is this product?

Anua Heartleaf LHA Moisture Peeling Gel is a 120 ml rinse-off gommage-type peeling gel from a Korean brand, pitched at lifting dead skin cells and pore-surface debris with low irritation. Its printed ingredient list has 22 names led by water, dipropylene glycol and a cellulose-type entry (3rd). A heartleaf water entry is printed at 10,000 ppm (5th) and an LHA-type entry, capryloyl salicylic acid, at 1 ppm (20th). No fragrance, alcohol or oil name is printed. The notice records a functional-cosmetic review without naming a kind, and no pH value is printed.

What makes it different?

A gel-format gommage peel with a cellulose-type entry third and an LHA-type entry at a printed 1 ppm, plus a heartleaf water entry at a printed 10,000 ppm and three named pore-care entries, carrying a patch test notice and no printed pH.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 3 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

  • Rough and dull skin, let's empty out dead skin cells and pores
    Korean original

    거칠고 칙칙한 피부, 각질과 모공을 비우자

  • Skin maintains a healthy skin barrier by repeating the process of creating and shedding new dead skin cells. However, if the skin's turn-over* cycle breaks down, they cannot shed on their own and old dead skin cells pile up, clogging pores and interfering with the absorption of skincare nutrients.
