  • 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.

People Say

Users consistently praise this toner for delivering a "glass skin" finish, offering lightweight yet deep hydration that leaves the skin plump and radiant without feeling heavy.

This toner is a great fit because it offers deep hydration and supports your skin barrier using rice bran water and ceramide NP. It also keeps your skin calm and safe with soothing ingredients like allantoin and has no harsh components that might trigger breakouts.

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2022International Journal of Dermatology, 2008

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

Rice bran water and ceramide NP make this toner a great fit by deeply moisturizing and supporting the skin barrier. Soothing ingredients like allantoin further help calm the skin without any harsh or irritating components.

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2022International Journal of Dermatology, 2008

What does Rice Bran Water do for acne-prone skin?

Rice Bran Water helps calm acne-prone skin because rice-derived ingredients have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that are unlikely to cause irritation. It supports clearer, more balanced skin while keeping it comfortable and hydrated.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022International Journal of Toxicology, 2006

What do Ceramides do for acne-prone skin?

Ceramides help acne-prone skin by restoring a weak water barrier, which is often damaged and low in these protective lipids in people with acne. Using them helps reduce dryness, redness, and irritation caused by acne treatments while keeping the skin calm and smooth.

Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This toner goes into your morning routine right after your cleanser and before your moisturizer. It helps deeply moisturize your skin and calm any irritation without any harsh components.

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

You can use this toner with retinol by applying the toner first to hydrate your skin, followed by your retinol treatment. Using a barrier-supporting product with retinol helps reduce dryness and irritation while improving how well your skin handles the treatment.
