Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin, as Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol provide excellent soothing and calming effects to reduce redness and irritation.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin offer general hydration benefits for dry or flaky skin, though the formula lacks sufficient emollient ingredients for optimal moisture retention.
  • The product is generally safe for your dry skin, with a low risk of irritation from the fragrance and essential oils.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your soothing toner after cleansing, and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin with your hands. Let it absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
  • Apply the soothing toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. This works great for dry or flaky skin to lock in extra moisture.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area when applying the soothing toner. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 500+ reviews

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. While the majority find it soothing and effective for repairing the skin barrier, a subset of users with extreme sensitivity to essential oils experienced irritation, prompting some to switch to the brand's "Unscented" version.

Questions and answers

How well does the Purito Centella Green Level Calming Toner work for dry skin?

This toner works moderately well for dry skin, using Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Glycerin to provide soothing comfort and general hydration. However, it lacks sufficient softening and sealing ingredients to lock in moisture effectively. Dry skin needs formulas rich in deeply nourishing hydrators, soothing agents, and protective oils to stay truly soft and comfortable.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for dry skin?

Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol help calm and soothe dry skin, while Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin provide general hydration. To better fit dry skin, a product of this type needs richer softening ingredients to help lock in moisture.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for dry skin?

Centella asiatica extract helps dry skin by boosting moisture and reducing water loss while calming irritation. It supports barrier repair to keep the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Panthenol do for dry skin?

Panthenol helps dry skin by keeping it soft and holding onto moisture while repairing your skin barrier. It also helps soothe redness and rough patches, making it very gentle and comfortable for everyday use.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017

Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This soothing toner goes after cleansing in your morning routine, providing calming hydration to dry skin. To best support dry skin, this type of product also needs rich nourishing ingredients that lock in moisture.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016

Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this toner with retinol by applying the toner first to damp skin and following with your retinol treatment. This product helps calm irritation, but dry skin needs richer ingredients and creams with rich oils or butters to lock in lasting moisture.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

How often should I use this toner?

You can use this soothing toner daily in the morning as part of your routine. It helps calm dry skin with Centella Asiatica extract and panthenol, though dry skin also needs nourishing oils and rich creams to lock in moisture.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin, as negative reviews about breakouts are low and the formula is generally safe. However, dry skin of this type needs rich, nourishing hydrators and heavy oils or butters to lock in moisture and keep pores clear.

Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene, citronellol, and linalool).
