One of my much-loved ingredients to tackle skin irritation and acne-prone skin has been Propolis. It was not until one of my favorite products – By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule, that also had Houttuynia Cordata along with propolis, was I made aware of Houttuynia Cordata. Ever since its discovery, I have always been on a lookout for H.Cordata products. Bellflower Heartleaf Houttuynia Treatment Serum has quenched my thirst for a Houttuynia serum. Keep reading the Bellflower Heartleaf Houttuynia review to find out more.
What is in this?
- Claims: Excellent in providing a calming effect for sensitive/acne-prone skin, moisturizes, and keeps the skin healthy.
H.Cordata (heartleaf, rainbow plant, fish mint, etc) is a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia. The benefits of Houttuynia Cordata has been largely talked about in the skincare community. It is extensively effective in treating sensitive, acne-prone skin. Interestingly, H. Cordata was used by Chinese scientists in an attempt to treat SARS.
Like its name, Bellflower Houttuynia Treatment Serum is formulated with H. Cordata Extract (4.4%) and other key ingredients like Allantoin, Centella Asiatica, and Rosemary Leaf oil.

My Thoughts:
The Bellflower Heartleaf Houttuynia Treatment Serum has a faint brownish watery like texture with no viscosity. There is no added artificial fragrance or color. It is lightweight and is quickly absorbed by the skin. It feels moisturizing and gives a healthy glow to the skin. This has a faint chemical smell that quickly dissipates. The lightweight characteristic allows me to layer my other serums effortlessly. As I have dry skin I love layering my serums. I find that as this sinks into my skin effortlessly and I have had no issues layering products.
What I like about this serum is how this has kept my skin calm and resilient to breakouts. This is why I like to believe that H. Cordata is an effective ingredient in calming sensitive/irritated skin.
Conclusion
I have been using this for months now and I must say a little amount goes a long way. It shall probably take me another 1-2 months to finish the product. And I ain’t complaining as I am enjoying this serum.
The By Wishtrend’s Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule has been my secret weapon to combat skin irritation. Just like the propolis serum, the Bellflower Heartleaf serum too has been my other secret weapon.
This serum is another winner product for me!
