First step after cleansing: prep skin texture with toner
This is the very first step in your routine, right after cleansing. It helps clear away any remaining impurities and tighten pores left open from washing, while prepping skin to better absorb the skincare that follows. Use it before your essence or serum to create a hydrated, receptive base.
Suitable for morning and evening use
As a dual-functional product targeting both brightening and wrinkle improvement, it fits seamlessly into both your AM and PM routines. In the morning, use it to refresh skin after overnight oil production and prep for a radiant complexion. In the evening, sweep away any lingering makeup residue post-cleanse and boost absorption of your treatment products.
Apply with a cotton pad using gentle sweeping motions
Dispense an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad and gently sweep across your entire face and neck. Pat any remaining toner into skin with your palms for a hydrating, non-sticky finish. For an extra nourishment boost, mix in 1–2 drops of serum and press gently into skin.
Routine pairings by skin concern
- If dull complexion is your concern: Follow this toner with a vitamin C serum to amplify brightening results
- If dryness and fine lines are on your mind: Layer on a hyaluronic acid essence and cream to build deep hydration
- If firmness is a priority: Finish with an adenosine-enriched cream to continue targeting wrinkle improvement
Notes on niacinamide use
This formula contains niacinamide, which plays well with most ingredients. However, if you have sensitive skin and are new to high-concentration products, start with a small amount and build up gradually. Always close the cap tightly after use and store away from high heat or direct sunlight. If you notice redness, itching, or any irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
