What it is

A moisture-rich toner that combines gentle PHA exfoliation with calming extracts and humectants to refine skin without tightness.

Who it's for

• Normal to combination and oily skin wanting light texture refinement.
• Beginners to acids who need a mild, hydrating option.
• Sensitive-leaning skin that tolerates PHA better than stronger AHAs/BHAs.

Key ingredients (INCI)

• Gluconolactone (PHA) — gentle exfoliant to smooth texture and support clarity.
• Centella Asiatica Extract — soothing support to calm visible redness.
• Houttuynia/tea tree complex — cosmetic calming for congestion-prone skin.
• Panthenol and Allantoin — hydration and comfort.
• Sodium Hyaluronate and humectants — water-binding hydration for a cushioned feel.

Free-from / texture

• Water-light toner/essence texture; absorbs quickly without stickiness.
• Alcohol-free; check full INCI for fragrance or essential oil sensitivities.
• Leaves a refreshed, non-stripping finish suitable for layering.

How to use & order

• After cleansing, apply with palms or a cotton pad; avoid eye area.
• Use 3-4 times per week at first; increase to daily if well tolerated.
• Follow with hydrating serum/essence, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Do not combine in the same routine with strong AHAs/BHAs/retinoids if you are sensitive; alternate nights instead.
• Hydrate well afterward to buffer any dryness.
• Apply sunscreen daily; exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity.

Evidence & notes

• PHA offers gentler exfoliation than AHAs/BHAs; results are incremental over weeks.
• Keeping skin hydrated after application supports barrier comfort.
• Monitor for sensitivity; reduce frequency if stinging persists.

Safety

• For external use only; discontinue if burning or persistent redness occurs.
• Patch test if sensitive to acids, botanical extracts, or fragrance.
• Avoid broken skin; consult a professional for post-procedure routines.
