Heartleaf 80% Moisture Soothing Ampoule
Reviewed by SerumTruth Editorial · Updated July 2026
A cheap, likeable soothing ampoule that leans on a big dose of heartleaf with panthenol for backup. The heartleaf evidence is limited, so read it as a calming comfort layer rather than a treatment. For the price and the feel, it is an easy add.

What’s inside
| Active | Disclosed | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) | 80% | Studied |
| Panthenol | n/a | Studied |
An 80% heartleaf (houttuynia cordata) ampoule with panthenol, sodium hyaluronate and betaine for hydration, in a frosted glass dropper. It is a soothing, comfort-focused layer aimed at the appearance of a calmer, less-reddened complexion, close in spirit to a centella serum but built on heartleaf. Neither active is fragile.
How it’s delivered
Air- and light-sensitive actives (vitamin C, copper peptides) lose potency fast in the wrong packaging, so delivery and the bottle are scored, not just what’s on the label.
