How it works
The Dermoisture Barrier.D Liquid Toner is a 200ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The barrier lipid it is built around is Ceramide NP, named twenty-third on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Cholesterol, 7-Dehydrocholesterol and Pollen Extract, so the barrier lipid is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Ceramide NP 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 Dr.G sells in Korea, Ceramide NP and all.
Key benefits
- Ceramide NP, the barrier lipid this toner is built around
- Cholesterol and 7-Dehydrocholesterol on the same list, barrier lipids
- Pollen Extract on the same list, a plant extract
- Triethylhexanoin on the same list, an emollient
- Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables and Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil further down the same list
- Calcium Chloride and Glycereth-26 further down the same list
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
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 Ceramide NP and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Ceramide NP 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 Ceramide NP?
Cholesterol, 7-Dehydrocholesterol and Pollen Extract. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Ceramide NP sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Triethylhexanoin, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables and Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil.

31 of 36 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Glycereth-26 humectant
- Glycereth-26 is a modified glycerin that hydrates with far less stickiness than glycerin itself. It is a common way to load water into a formula that has to stay light.
- Betaine humectant
- Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
- Glycerine 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.
- Diphenyl Dimethicone silicone
- Diphenyl Dimethicone is a glossy silicone used to add shine and a smooth film, particularly in lip and highlighting textures.
- Triethylhexanoin emollient
- Triethylhexanoin is a light ester emollient that softens skin and disperses pigment. It absorbs cleanly and is often used to thin a heavy oil phase.
- Carbomer thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- C12-13 Pareth-9 surfactant
- An ethoxylated fatty alcohol used as a mild surfactant and solubiliser, most often so an oil-based makeup remover will rinse away with water.
19 more explained
- Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate is a mild sugar-derived emulsifier that holds oil into water and thickens slightly.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate is a mild sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser used where a formula must stay clear.
- 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.
- Ceramide NP barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
- Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables emollient
- The fraction of olive oil that cannot be turned into soap, where its sterols and squalene concentrate. It softens skin and helps hold water in.
- Aluminum/Magnesium Hydroxide Stearate dispersant
- A mineral soap used to suspend powders and thicken an oil phase, which is what stops pigment settling to the bottom of a bottle.
- Cholesterol barrier lipid
- Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds.
- Palmitic Acid fatty acid
- Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin.
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate emulsifier
- Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate is an amino-acid-derived emulsifier. It holds oil and water together and is mild enough for formulas built for reactive skin.
- 7-Dehydrocholesterol barrier lipid
- 7-Dehydrocholesterol is the sterol skin holds as the precursor to vitamin D. In a formula it behaves as a barrier lipid, closely related to cholesterol.
- Pollen Extract plant extract
- Extract of flower pollen collected by bees. Pollen carries amino acids, sugars, vitamins and flavonoids, and the extract is used as a conditioning ingredient.
- Lecithin emulsifier
- Lecithin is a soy or sunflower-derived phospholipid, the same class of molecule cell membranes are built from. It emulsifies oil into water and is the basis of the liposomes formulators use to carry actives.
- Calcium Chloride mineral
- Calcium Chloride is a mineral salt used in traces to balance a formula and to firm up gels made with alginate or gellan gum.

How to use
- Use it right after cleansing while the face is still slightly damp, which is when a watery layer spreads furthest.
- Pour a little into your palms or onto a cotton round and press it over the face rather than rubbing it in.
- Follow within a minute with your serum and moisturizer, so the water you just added has something to sit under.
- Do not let it dry down completely before the next step, since a bare surface undoes most of what this layer is for.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Ceramide NP on the list.
- Introduce this toner on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Ceramide NP rather than to three changes at once.
