Right after cleansing, restore pH balance with a bubble toner
Toner is the first step to rebalance your skin's pH after cleansing, which can leave it slightly alkaline. Pantedew Bubble Toner features a mildly acidic formula that helps restore your skin's natural balance while prepping it to better absorb the essence or cream that follows. The key is to apply it as soon as possible after cleansing, before moisture starts to evaporate.
Use morning and night
As a dual-function product targeting both brightening and wrinkle improvement, it fits seamlessly into your AM and PM routines. In the morning, use it to refresh skin after overnight sebum production and prep for makeup. In the evening, let it soothe skin that's been exposed to environmental stressors throughout the day.
Pump, pat, and press in
Dispense an appropriate amount onto your palm using the pump, then gently spread it across your entire face. You'll feel the carbonated bubbles pop on contact—this is when you lightly tap with your fingertips to help it absorb. You'll notice a refreshing cooling sensation as hydration sinks in quickly. For extra-dry areas, feel free to apply a second layer.
Pair with your next step based on skin concern
- Dry, tight skin: Follow immediately with a deeply hydrating essence and cream to lock in moisture
- Sensitive, irritated skin: Contains centella asiatica extract, so it pairs beautifully with calming care products for added soothing benefits
- Skin lacking firmness: The PDRN helps support skin recovery, so layer it with a firming cream for best results
Storage and usage notes
Contains carbonated ingredients, so store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. While it includes bakuchiol, it's a plant-derived ingredient gentler than retinol, making it safe for morning use. That said, if you're new to the product or your skin is feeling sensitive, do a patch test with a small amount first. If you experience redness or irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
