Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate soothing and hydration for your acne-prone combination skin, as Centella Asiatica Extract calms inflammation and Panthenol supports barrier repair. Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate further enhance hydration, providing essential moisture without overwhelming the skin.
  • The inclusion of witch hazel extract offers mild astringent properties, which can be beneficial for managing oiliness on combination skin.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with no harsh ingredients and a focus on calming components like Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol.

How to apply

  • Use your soothing toner AM and PM daily to help keep breakouts under control.
  • Apply this soothing toner right after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin and let it absorb.
  • Pat the soothing toner onto clean, slightly damp skin for the best absorption.
  • Always do a patch test before first use and avoid getting the soothing toner in your eyes.

Users with sensitive, acne-prone, and dehydrated skin frequently praise this toner for its jelly-like viscosity that provides deep hydration and immediate relief from redness.

Questions and answers

How well does Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner work for acne-prone skin?

This toner works reasonably well for acne-prone skin by offering moderate soothing and hydration through ingredients like Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol. However, a soothing toner for this skin needs more targeted blemish-fighting and soothing ingredients, along with gentle exfoliants, to truly provide an optimal fit and clearer complexion.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002

Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for acne-prone skin?

This toner works for acne-prone skin because Centella Asiatica extract calms redness, panthenol supports barrier repair, and sodium hyaluronate adds lightweight moisture. To get a better fit for this skin type, a product of this type needs additional blemish-fighting ingredients like Niacinamide or gentle exfoliants to clear breakouts more effectively.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002

What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for acne-prone skin?

Centella asiatica extract helps calm angry skin, reduces redness, and supports healing for breakouts. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve overall skin clarity when used consistently.

Molecules, 2023Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2020

What does Panthenol do for acne-prone skin?

Panthenol helps acne-prone skin by soothing redness and supporting the skin barrier while keeping skin hydrated. It is unlikely to cause irritation and works well to calm angry spots without clogging pores.
