How it works
The Sea kelp Gel Toner Pads 140g/ is a toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The plant extract it is built around is Laminaria Japonica Extract, named twenty-sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide and Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Laminaria Japonica Extract 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 Biodance sells in Korea, Laminaria Japonica Extract and all.

Key actives
Laminaria Japonica Extractplant extract
Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient. The name on the box points at it, and it is named twenty-sixth on this toner's own ingredient list.
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. It is named ninth on this toner's list, alongside Laminaria Japonica Extract.
Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamideactive
A synthetic cooling agent that gives the cool feeling of menthol without the mint smell. It is used where a formula wants the sensation but not the scent. It is named sixteenth on this toner's list, alongside Laminaria Japonica Extract.
Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extractplant extract
Melia Azadirachta is neem. Its leaf and flower extracts are long-standing Ayurvedic ingredients, and Korean formulas use them in products aimed at the look of congested, blemish-prone skin. The panel names it fifteenth on this toner's list, beside Laminaria Japonica Extract.
Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extractplant extract
Ocimum Sanctum is holy basil, or tulsi. Its leaf extract carries plant antioxidants and is used in formulas built for the look of stressed, reactive skin. The panel names it eighteenth on this toner's list, beside Laminaria Japonica Extract.
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 Laminaria Japonica Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Laminaria Japonica Extract 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 Laminaria Japonica Extract?
Allantoin, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide and Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Laminaria Japonica Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Spirulina Maxima Extract and Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract.

How to use
- Take one pad and wipe outward from the centre of the face with the textured side.
- Turn it over and press the smooth side across the cheeks and any areas that feel hot.
- Follow with a light moisturiser while the skin is still damp from the pad.
- Do not store the jar in a warm bathroom, since heat works directly against a cooling step.
Worth knowing
- Skin that is actively broken out or irritated does best starting this once daily before moving to twice.
- Anyone using a prescription retinoid or a strong acid exfoliant elsewhere in their routine should introduce this alongside it gradually.

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.
