What it is
Milky refiner toner that blends ceramides, peptides, and humectants in a lightweight, lotion-like texture to hydrate and prep skin without heaviness.
Who it's for
- Normal, dry, or combination skin needing a cushioning first step.
- Those looking to bolster barrier comfort with ceramides and peptides.
- Oily skin seeking a milky toner that layers light and non-greasy.
Key ingredients (INCI)
- Ceramides — reinforce barrier lipids and reduce moisture loss.
- Peptides — help skin appear firm and smooth.
- Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate — humectant hydration and soothing feel.
- Glycerin — core humectant base for slip and moisture retention.
Free-from / texture
- Milky, fast-absorbing texture with a dewy, non-sticky finish.
- Typically low fragrance; review INCI for personal sensitivities.
- Light enough to layer multiple times (7-skin style) if desired.
How to use & order
- After cleansing, apply with hands or a cotton pad over face and neck.
- Layer 1–3 times if extra hydration is needed; follow with serums and moisturizer.
- Use morning and night; finish with sunscreen during the day.
Conflicts & layering tips
- Generally compatible with most actives; if using strong acids/retinoids, start slowly and monitor for sensitivity.
- Can be used as a hydrating buffer before potent treatments.
- Patch test if you have very reactive or post-procedure skin.
Evidence & notes
- Ceramides and peptides are cosmetic ingredients; barrier support and smoothing claims are cosmetic in nature.
- Humectants draw water; sealing with moisturizer helps retain hydration, especially in dry climates.
- Milky toners can aid slip and reduce friction when layering treatments.
Safety
- For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
- Avoid applying on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
- Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
