Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam: expiry date and ingredients
How to read the expiry date printed on Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, then what it is mostly made of and which ingredients do the work — based on the ingredient list the brand publishes.
Ingredient list from the US version (source checked 2026-10-29).
A heartleaf-based foaming cleanser said to clear out pores and excess oil, gently smooth rough texture and leave skin calm and hydrated.
Manufacture date and shelf life
Can I tell when my Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam was made from its batch code?
You do not need to. Korean cosmetics print the expiry date (or the manufacture date plus a period-after-opening) on the pack, for example EXP20270701 or MFD20240701.
How long does Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam last unopened?
Anua does not publish an unopened shelf life we could verify (checked October 2026). Go by the date printed on the pack; Korean imports always carry one on the Korean label.
How long can I use it after opening?
Look for the open-jar symbol on the pack (for example 12M = 12 months after opening). Our period-after-opening calculator gives the exact date.
What it targets
Based on which ingredients are in it, how high up the list they are, and whether they are key actives.
Also listed, but probably in too small an amount to do its usual job, so not counted above: Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.
Key ingredients
Heartleaf (houttuynia) water used to calm irritated, sensitive skin.
Smaller fragments of hyaluronic acid for lighter, layered hydration.
