How it works
The Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner is a 150ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Panthenol, Ethyl Hexanediol and Sodium Hyaluronate, 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 COSRX sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Key benefits
- 150 ml bottle, the size the Korean market sells
- The step straight after cleansing, AM and PM
- Sourced as the original Korean-market version
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 seventh.
Panthenolhumectant
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. It is named sixth on this toner's list, alongside Allantoin.
Ethyl Hexanediolhumectant
Ethyl Hexanediol is a glycol that hydrates and makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, the same double role 1,2-hexanediol plays. The panel names it eighth on this toner's list, beside Allantoin.
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. It is named ninth 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?
Panthenol, Ethyl Hexanediol and Sodium Hyaluronate. 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. Allantoin itself is named seventh on it.

How to use
- Use the Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner straight after cleansing, morning and evening, on a damp face.
- Pour a coin-sized pool into your palms and press it over the face in two passes, or sweep it on with a cotton pad.
- It goes before serum and moisturizer, and the damp layer it leaves is what the next step holds on to.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not wait for it to dry before the next layer; damp skin is the point of the step.

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.
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 Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
Taylor Bullock, MDDermatology resident, Cleveland Clinic
1 more professional perspective
Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
