What it is

Brightening toner pads soaked in a niacinamide- and vitamin-enriched essence to help even the look of skin tone, smooth texture appearance, and deliver light hydration.

Who it's for

  • Dull or uneven-looking skin needing quick brightening support.
  • Normal, combination, or oily skin types seeking a lightweight wipe-on step.
  • Routines wanting convenience for morning or post-gym use.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Niacinamide — cosmetic brightening, tone-evening, and barrier support.
  • Vitamin complex (e.g., vitamin C derivatives, panthenol) — supports radiance and comfort.
  • Humectants (e.g., glycerin, sodium hyaluronate) — attract and hold moisture.
  • Soothing agents (e.g., allantoin/centella derivatives) — help buffer potential irritation.

Free-from / texture

  • Soft, pre-soaked cotton pads with a watery essence; low residue.
  • Generally low oil content; check INCI for personal fragrance sensitivities.
  • Leaves a fresh, non-sticky finish suitable for layering.

How to use & order

  • After cleansing, swipe a pad gently over face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
  • Use morning and/or night; start 3–4 times weekly and increase as tolerated.
  • Follow with serum, moisturizer, and daytime sunscreen.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Typically plays well with most routines; monitor if combining with strong acids or retinoids.
  • Pair with hydrating serums and barrier creams to maintain moisture.
  • Patch test if sensitive to niacinamide or vitamin complexes at higher levels.

Evidence & notes

  • Brightness and texture-refining effects are cosmetic; consistent use is needed to maintain appearance.
  • Niacinamide supports a more even-looking tone and barrier-feel resilience.
  • Humectants help retain water; sealing with moisturizer can reduce transepidermal water loss.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
  • Avoid applying on compromised or freshly exfoliated areas; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
