Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream SPF50+
A calming SPF50+ PA++++ sun cream with heartleaf, made for sensitive, everyday wear.
What it is
A lightweight, water-based facial sunscreen with high SPF50+ PA++++ protection and calming heartleaf, a soothing Korean botanical. It absorbs quickly to a natural finish that sits between matte and dewy, with a little oil control that helps blur pores and keep makeup in place. It leaves no white cast, does not clog pores, is vegan, and is gentle enough for sensitive skin to wear every day.
What reviewers say
Reviewers describe it as light, calming and comfortable, with no white cast and a natural finish that makes a great base for makeup, and sensitive skin appreciates how gentle and hydrating it is. Several note the slight oil control keeps them from getting too shiny. The usual sunscreen notes apply: you need a generous layer to reach the labelled protection, and it should be reapplied through the day.
