Powered by Centella Asiatica extract sourced from Madagascar and mild PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) exfoliants, this toner calms the skin while promoting a smooth, radiant complexion. Suitable for all skin types, it helps minimize the appearance of pores and uneven texture while providing lightweight hydration.
Hydrating Exfoliation: Delivers mild exfoliation that's gentle enough for daily use, helping to brighten and smooth skin.
Perfect for Sensitive Skin: The calming effects of Centella combined with PHA's mild action ensure it's safe for delicate or easily irritated skin.
Balancing and Soothing: Helps restore skin's natural pH after cleansing, leaving it balanced, hydrated, and ready for further treatments.
This toner is an essential first step in your skincare routine, prepping your skin to absorb other products more effectively.
2- Key Ingredients
This toning toner combines soothing and exfoliating ingredients, providing a balanced formula for refined and glowing skin:
Centella Asiatica Extract (84%): Rich in skin-repairing compounds like asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid, Centella Asiatica helps calm redness, support skin healing, and strengthen the skin barrier, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
PHA (Gluconolactone): A mild exfoliant that removes dead skin cells on the surface, improving texture and tone without causing irritation. Unlike AHA, PHA provides gentler exfoliation and helps retain moisture, making it perfect for daily use.
Hyaluronic Acid: Known for its intense hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid locks in moisture, leaving the skin plump, smooth, and refreshed after toning.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that brightens the skin tone, reduces redness, minimizes pore appearance, and improves the skin's overall resilience.
With this gentle yet effective ingredient blend, Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner enhances your skin's clarity and smoothness while deeply hydrating.
3- Texture
The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner has a lightweight, watery texture that feels refreshing and absorbs quickly:
Thin, Watery Consistency: Feels weightless on the skin, allowing for easy absorption without a sticky or greasy residue.
Instantly Refreshing: The toner provides an immediate cooling sensation, leaving skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Buildable Hydration: Allows for layering multiple times without feeling heavy, ideal for those who enjoy a ""seven-skin"" or multiple-layered hydrating routine.
The lightweight texture makes it suitable for use in both morning and evening routines, providing a balanced, smooth base for any skincare regimen.
