How it works
The Rebalancing toner Skin booster is a 200ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named twenty-ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Chondrus Crispus Extract and Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Allantoin stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the toner format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the toner Abib sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.

Key actives
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. On this toner's own ingredient list it is named twenty-ninth.
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteinprotein
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein is plant protein cut into water-soluble fragments. It forms a light conditioning film that holds water at the surface. It is named tenth on this toner's list, alongside Allantoin.
Chondrus Crispus Extractplant extract
Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film. It is named seventh on this toner's list, alongside Allantoin.
Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extractplant extract
Sugarcane Extract carries natural glycolic acid and sugars. In cosmetics it is used as a humectant; the acid content is far too low to work as an exfoliant. The panel names it eighth on this toner's list, beside Allantoin.
Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extractplant extract
Zanthoxylum Piperitum is Korean pepper. Its fruit extract is used as a conditioning plant extract and is often paired with pulsatilla and usnea in Korean formulas. It is named eleventh on this toner's list, alongside Allantoin.
Where does this toner go in my routine?
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. Anything thinner than a toner goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Allantoin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin and all. We match this toner to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Allantoin?
Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Chondrus Crispus Extract and Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract.

How to use
- Apply it within a minute of cleansing while the skin is still wet, so it spreads without dragging.
- Press it from damp palms over every part of the face, including the oily zone, since this layer is not what makes skin shiny.
- Add a second press of toner on the dry areas only, then seal those areas with more cream than the rest.
- Do not sweep it off with dry cotton, because the cotton takes a share of the dose and gives you no control by zone.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Introduce this toner on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Allantoin rather than to three changes at once.

What skin-care professionals say about skin care, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Pretty much every step of a Korean skin care routine is going to have some component of hydration.
