- The formula is generally safe for your normal skin, with no harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing agents like glycerin and niacinamide to minimize irritation risk.
How to apply
- You can use this hydrating toner AM and PM every day to keep your skin smooth. Always pair with SPF in the morning to protect your skin.

- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better and lock in moisture.

Questions and answers
What makes Bioderma Hydrabio Tonique a great fit for mature skin?
Bioderma Hydrabio Tonique is a great fit for mature skin because glycerin and xylitol pull in moisture to keep the skin feeling soft and smooth while supporting the skin barrier. Niacinamide and allantoin help calm the skin and keep it looking healthy, and the gentle formula is unlikely to cause irritation.
Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021
Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for mature skin?
Glycerin, niacinamide, and xylitol make this toner a great fit for mature skin by helping to boost hydration and smooth the complexion. Glycerin and xylitol draw moisture into the skin while niacinamide and allantoin soothe and support a healthy skin barrier.
Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
What does Aquagenium do for mature skin?
Aquagenium helps mature skin by boosting the channels that move water deep inside, which keeps dry skin feeling soft and smooth. As skin ages, these water pathways naturally slow down, so mature skin needs ingredients that support hydration and lock in moisture to prevent dryness.
What does Niacinamide do for mature skin?
Niacinamide helps mature skin by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, reducing dark spots, and improving overall skin elasticity. It is also very well tolerated and supports a strong skin barrier to keep skin looking healthy.
Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This hydrating toner goes right after cleansing in your morning routine, before your moisturizer and SPF. Using it helps prep your skin and supports your skin barrier with ingredients like glycerin and niacinamide.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017
Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this toner with retinol by applying it right after cleansing and before your retinol treatment to help soothe your skin and keep it comfortable. The formula is generally safe and helps minimize irritation risks when paired with active ingredients.
How often should I use this toner?

Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
