APRILSKIN Calendula PHA Hyaluronic Toner Pads 140g
Calendula PHA Hyaluronic Toner Pads is APRILSKIN's toner pad (140g), built around Allantoin and Sodium Hyaluronate. It is used right after cleansing, to rebalance the skin and prep it for the next step. This is the same formula Korean shoppers buy off the shelf in Seoul, not a version built for US retail.

Key actives
Sodium Hyaluronatehumectant
Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it. The name on the box points at it, and it is named twelfth on this toner's own ingredient list.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named sixth on this toner's list, alongside Sodium Hyaluronate.
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. The panel names it eighth on this toner's list, beside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. It is named fourth on this toner's list, alongside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Capryloyl Salicylic Acidexfoliant
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is salicylic acid with a fatty tail, sometimes sold as LHA. It stays nearer the surface than salicylic acid and works at a higher pH, so it exfoliates more evenly and more gently. The panel names it sixteenth on this toner's list, beside Sodium Hyaluronate.
How to use
- Take one pad after cleansing and sweep it across the face and neck, then continue with the rest of the routine without rinsing.
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 Sodium Hyaluronate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Sodium Hyaluronate 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 Sodium Hyaluronate?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Allantoin and Gluconolactone. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Sodium Hyaluronate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract.

How it works
The Calendula PHA Hyaluronic Toner Pads is a 140g toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The humectant it is built around is Sodium Hyaluronate, named twelfth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Allantoin and Gluconolactone, so the humectant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Sodium Hyaluronate 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 APRILSKIN sells in Korea, Sodium Hyaluronate and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Sodium Hyaluronate on the list.
- Citric Acid and Gluconolactone on this list makes this toner an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic It contains liquiritin, an active compound that helps to disperse and remove existing melanin in the skin.

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.
