How it works
The Yam Root Vegan Barrier Milky Toner is a 200ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The active it is built around is Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, named thirty-ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Tetrahydropiperine and Cyanocobalamin, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate 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 Isntree sells in Korea, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and all.

Key actives
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. On this toner's own ingredient list it is named thirty-ninth.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it forty-eighth on this toner's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Tetrahydropiperineactive
Tetrahydropiperine is a modified form of piperine, the pungent compound in black pepper. It is used in traces to help other actives spread and sink in more evenly. The panel names it fifty-seventh on this toner's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Cyanocobalaminvitamin
Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin. The panel names it fifty-first on this toner's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysateferment
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate is the ferment with the bacterial cells broken open, so their contents are in the formula too. It is a conditioning ferment used in barrier-focused products. It is named twelfth on this toner's list, alongside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
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 Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market toner or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate 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 Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate?
Adenosine, Tetrahydropiperine and Cyanocobalamin. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Phloretin and Tocopherol.

How to use
- Apply within a minute of towelling off, while the surface is still slightly wet.
- Pour a coin sized pool into your palm and pat it on rather than soaking a cotton pad.
- Add a second thin layer over dry patches before moving on to your serum.
- Do not wait for it to dry completely, since a dry surface wastes the point of a toner.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this toner on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate on the list.
- Introduce this toner on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate rather than to three changes at once.
