First step after cleansing: a toner that primes skin for better absorption
This is your first step right after cleansing. Apply it immediately after washing your face, before your skin dries, to help your essence, serum, and cream absorb more effectively. You can either wipe it on with a cotton pad or pat it in with your hands, depending on how your skin feels that day.
Gentle, pH-balanced formula for daily morning and evening use
It contains PHA (gluconolactone), but because the molecule is larger than AHA or BHA, it's much gentler on skin. In the morning, it softly refines overnight oil and dead skin buildup. In the evening, it sweeps away the day's impurities. Safe for daily use, morning and night.
Four ways to use it, based on your skin's needs
- Wipe: Saturate a cotton pad and gently swipe from the center outward across your cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose
- Pat: Pour a small amount into your palms and lightly pat all over your face until absorbed
- Hydration mask: Soak cotton pads and place them on dry areas for 3 to 5 minutes for an intensive moisture boost
- Mist: Decant into a spray bottle and spritz throughout the day, before or after makeup, whenever skin feels tight
Pairing suggestions based on your skin concern
If your skin feels dry and tight, layer a hyaluronic acid serum after this toner, then seal it in with a hydrating cream. If enlarged pores and excess oil are your main concerns, a lightweight hydrating essence after wiping with this toner is all you need. On days when your skin feels reactive or sensitive, pat the toner in gently and follow with a thin layer of calming cream.
Storage and precautions
Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight and use within 12 months of opening. You may notice bubbles when you shake the bottle. This is normal and happens because we don't use defoaming agents. If you experience redness or itching during use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.
