How it works
The A-Cure Clarifying Toner is a 240ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Biosaccharide Gum-1, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract and Melissa Officinalis Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the toner format rather than by the list alone. CAREZONE sells this Niacinamide toner in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Niacinamide, the active this toner is built around
- Biosaccharide Gum-1 on the same list, a polysaccharide
- Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract, Melissa Officinalis Extract and Primula Veris Extract on the same list, plant extracts
- Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract and Panthenol further down the same list
- Sodium Hyaluronate further down the same list
- Niacinamide named ninth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
Key actives
6Biosaccharide Gum-1polysaccharide
Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel. The panel names it sixth on this toner's list, beside Niacinamide.
8Citrus Unshiu Peel Extractplant extract
The peel extract of the satsuma mandarin, the gyul grown on Jeju. It carries flavonoids and aromatic oils and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract. It is named eighth on this toner's list, alongside Niacinamide.
9Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this toner's own ingredient list it is named ninth.
18Primula Veris Extractplant extract
Cowslip extract, carrying saponins and flavonoids. It is used as a conditioning plant extract. The panel names it eighteenth on this toner's list, beside Niacinamide.
Melissa Officinalis Extractplant extract
Lemon balm extract, a mint-family herb rich in rosmarinic acid. It is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract with a light lemon scent. The panel names it fifteenth on this toner's list, beside Niacinamide.
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 Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
Does this toner contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this toner is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Biosaccharide Gum-1, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract and Melissa Officinalis Extract. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Primula Veris Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract and Panthenol.
Not on the ingredient list below: denatured or SD alcohol, essential oils, silicones, parabens, sulfate surfactants, mineral oil or petrolatum and added color.

19 of 28 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Biosaccharide Gum-1 polysaccharide
- Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract plant extract
- The peel extract of the satsuma mandarin, the gyul grown on Jeju. It carries flavonoids and aromatic oils and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
- Niacinamide active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract plant extract
- Lemon balm extract, a mint-family herb rich in rosmarinic acid. It is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract with a light lemon scent.
- Primula Veris Extract plant extract
- Cowslip extract, carrying saponins and flavonoids. It is used as a conditioning plant extract.
- Achillea Millefolium Extract plant extract
- Yarrow extract. The plant carries flavonoids, tannins and azulene compounds, so the extract has an astringent character and is used as a conditioning botanical.
7 more explained
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil emulsifier
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is the most used solubiliser in clear toners and micellar waters. It holds small amounts of oil and fragrance in solution without turning the formula cloudy.
- Octyldodeceth-16 emulsifier
- An ethoxylated branched fatty alcohol. It emulsifies and also gives a formula a soft, cushioned slip.
- Sodium Citrate pH adjuster
- Sodium Citrate is the salt of citric acid, used as a buffer: it holds a formula at a steady pH rather than pushing it in one direction. It is also a mild chelator.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- 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.
- Sodium Polyacrylate thickener
- Sodium Polyacrylate is a polymer that absorbs many times its weight in water. It thickens a formula and holds water in a gel against the skin.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
