What is Heartleaf Extract?

Heartleaf Extract, derived from Houttuynia Cordata, is a powerful botanical ingredient known for its ability to calm acne-prone and sensitive skin. Widely used in modern Korean skincare, it is valued for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and soothing properties.

Its lightweight, water-based nature allows it to absorb quickly, helping to reduce irritation without clogging pores or adding heaviness.

At From Negative, Heartleaf Extract is used to target breakouts gently while maintaining skin balance and comfort.

How Heartleaf Extract works

Heartleaf Extract works by reducing inflammation and controlling bacteria that contribute to acne. It helps calm the skin's response to breakouts while supporting faster recovery. At the same time, it balances oil production, preventing clogged pores and future breakouts. Over time, it leads to clearer, calmer, and more balanced skin.
