He thought he was rescuing a sheep—but it turned out to be something else
This bizarre French customer habit is driving shop owners crazy
It’s the beauty craze everyone’s buzzing about. Originating from Korea, this nearly magical skincare product promises soothed and even skin. It’s now available in France at Normal, but getting your hands on it requires some patience.
Normal stores have become the latest hotspot for beauty enthusiasts hunting for viral treasures at bargain prices. Remember, it was in these aisles that COSRX’s snail essence and Sol de Janeiro’s creams flew off the shelves. This time, the Danish chain is making waves again. A new product, hailed as a “miracle in a bottle” on social media, has instantly sparked a buying frenzy. Its promise? To calm the most sensitive skin, reduce redness, and clear blemishes.
The product comes in a sleek white bottle with an almost medical design, standing out among colorful packaging. Don’t let its minimalist look deceive you: this is the currently most sought-after item on TikTok, where hashtags like “kbeautynormal” and “reel anua normal” have amassed hundreds of millions of views. Users document their “treasure hunts” to find it, filming despairingly empty shelves before sharing their excitement when they finally snag the prized bottle.
The coveted treasure is none other than the Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner by Korean brand Anua. Its name might sound technical, but it is the key to its success. “Heartleaf,” or Houttuynia Cordata in Latin, is an Asian medicinal plant known for its potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and soothing properties. The “77%” is not just a marketing gimmick: it indicates that the formula contains over three-quarters of this plant extract. This high concentration allows it to almost instantly soothe irritations and rebalance the skin.
So, who is it for? This toner is a godsend for sensitive skin, prone to redness, acne (especially inflammatory acne), or just stressed from pollution. Its texture is as light as water and absorbs immediately without leaving a sticky residue. Apply it morning and night after cleansing, either with a cotton pad or directly with the palms, gently patting it onto the face. With daily use, it helps strengthen the skin barrier, reduce the appearance of pores, and achieve that coveted “glass skin” look—a bright, translucent complexion that is highly admired in Korean beauty culture.
The good news is that Normal offers it for €19.80, making it much more affordable than on import sites. The bad news is its rather unpredictable availability. So, a piece of advice: keep your eyes peeled during your next visit to a Normal store.
