How it works
The Amazon Belief Balancing Toning Pad is a 175ml toner pad, used use one pad from it straight after cleansing, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named twelfth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Gluconolactone, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract and Centella Asiatica 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 pad format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the toner pad daymellow sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Key benefits
- Allantoin, the active this toner pad is built around
- Gluconolactone on the same list, an exfoliant
- Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract and Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract on the same list, plant extracts
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract further down the same list
- Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract and Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract further down the same list
- Allantoin named twelfth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
How to use
- Use it swept over clean skin after cleansing, in place of a liquid toner poured onto cotton. AM and/or PM.
Where does this toner pad go in my routine?
Use one pad from it straight after cleansing, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a toner pad 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 pad or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin and all. We match this toner pad 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?
Gluconolactone, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract. The order they are printed in on this toner pad's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract.

27 of 29 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract plant extract
- Paeonia Suffruticosa is tree peony, a long-standing East Asian medicinal plant. Its root extract carries paeoniflorin and is used for the look of reddened skin.
- Centella Asiatica Extract plant extract
- Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser, mild enough to be a standard choice in Korean essences. It dissolves small amounts of oil into water without any tightening feel.
- Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract plant extract
- Chamomile Flower Extract is one of the oldest ingredients in skincare, carrying bisabolol and chamazulene. It is used for the look of redness in formulas for reactive skin.
- Glyceryl Caprylate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Caprylate is a mild emulsifier that also makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, so it is often part of a preservative-free system.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Allantoin active
- 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.
15 more explained
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract plant extract
- Aloe Leaf Extract is mostly water with polysaccharides, amino acids and mild plant acids. It hydrates and leaves a light, cooling film, which is why it is the default after-sun ingredient.
- Gluconolactone exfoliant
- Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. Its molecule is too large to penetrate quickly, so it smooths the surface without the sting of an AHA, and it is a humectant at the same time.
- Tromethamine pH adjuster
- Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil fragrance component
- Sweet Orange Peel Oil is a citrus essential oil carrying limonene. It scents a formula, and limonene is one of the components EU labelling names separately.
- Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil fragrance
- May chang oil, a bright lemon-scented essential oil pressed from a small Asian tree. Its scent comes mostly from citral, the same aromatic that gives lemongrass its character.
- 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.
- Houttuynia Cordata Extract plant extract
- Houttuynia Cordata is heartleaf, and it is one of the two or three anchor plants of Korean calming skincare. Its extract carries quercitrin and other flavonoids and is used for the look of redness and blemish-prone skin.
- Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Lime fruit extract, carrying citric acid, sugars and citrus flavonoids. It is the water based fruit extract rather than the peel oil.
- Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Lemon fruit extract, carrying citric acid, sugars and flavonoids. It is the water-based fruit extract rather than the peel oil, so it brings the fruit acids without the aromatic terpenes.
- Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Apple fruit extract, carrying malic acid, sugars and polyphenols. It is used as a conditioning extract with a mild acid character.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Sweet orange fruit extract, carrying fruit acids, sugars and flavonoids. It is used as a conditioning extract.
- Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Grape Fruit Extract carries polyphenols and fruit acids. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract.
- Kaolin absorbent
- Kaolin is white clay, the mildest of the cosmetic clays. It absorbs oil and lifts loose debris from the surface without stripping, which is why it is the clay used on drier skin.
- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract plant extract
- Acai fruit extract, from the Amazonian palm berry. It carries anthocyanins, the same purple pigment polyphenols found in blueberry, and is used as a plant antioxidant.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.

Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner pad on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Gluconolactone on this list makes this toner pad an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
