Our assessment
The sample is solidly positive on the fundamentals: it foams richly, removes oil and grime, and leaves skin feeling clean rather than tight, and buyers with oily or combination skin are the most enthusiastic. The theme that splits it is irritation, which the rating data also flags, and one buyer describes developing a stye after using it around the eyes, a single account that cannot be generalised but should not be dropped.

In brief
This is the Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam, a foaming facial cleanser in a 5.07 fl.oz tube, positioned as a second-step cleanser for pore refining and daily use and sold for oily and acne-prone skin. The marketplace average is 4.6 out of 5 across roughly 21,700 ratings: 82 percent at five stars, 8 percent at four, and a one-star tail of about 4 percent. Skin compatibility and skin irritation are both among the most-discussed themes in the rating data, the first clue that gentleness is not unanimous.
Thirteen comment bodies is a small sample against that rating count, but the comments are specific, several from buyers who have used the product for years, which makes them genuinely informative.
What the sample agrees on, and the irritation question
Cleansing without stripping is the consistent theme. Buyers describe a rich, silky lather that removes oil and leftover makeup and leaves skin feeling fresh rather than dry or tight, and several with sensitive or aging skin saw no added redness. Buyers also note that a pea-sized amount foams generously, so a tube lasts a long time, one describing it lasting the better part of a year at twice-daily use.
The sample leans toward a skin type. Buyers with oily, combination and acne-prone skin are most positive, reporting clearer skin and less congestion over time, and one who checks products against a fungal-acne ingredient list says this one passed. The scent reads as mild: a light herbal, slightly minty note most found easy to live with, though a couple said it takes getting used to.
The split is irritation, the theme the rating data flags alongside the praise. Most buyers report no reaction, but a minority report redness, dryness or breakouts. The most specific is a four-star buyer who says they developed a stye after using the cleanser to remove eye makeup, and who now avoids the eye area and keeps using the product. That is one account, and one account cannot establish cause, but it belongs in the record rather than being smoothed away.
The practical point the sample supports is the one its own label is said to make: keep this away from the eyes, and if your skin is reactive, introduce it gradually rather than treating it as a first cleanser for every day.
We have not tested this cleansing foam.
Bottom line
Worth considering if you have oily, combination or congestion-prone skin and want a foaming cleanser that clears oil without leaving skin tight, especially if you double cleanse. Go in with the reservation the sample and the rating data both raise: a minority report irritation, and the eye area in particular is not the place for it. This is not medical or dermatological advice. The score shown for this product comes from the marketplace-wide rating and its rating count, not from these 13 comments.
