How it works
A toner is the first leave on step after cleansing, and its real job is to leave the face evenly damp for whatever follows. It is watery enough to spread over the whole face from a small pool in the palm and to settle in a few seconds. Because it is the thinnest thing in a routine it goes first, since a fluid this light cannot get through anything already down. That is the difference from a cleansing water, which is applied in order to be wiped straight off again. This is the scented version of a toner the brand also sells unscented, so the choice between the two is about fragrance rather than about what the step does.
Key benefits
- What it is: toner, 180ml, used the first leave on step after cleansing.
- Texture: a watery layer patted on with the palms.
- Aimed at: everyday hydration, a damp base for the next layer, skin that feels tight.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.
Key actives
Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica Extract is the calming botanical Korean skincare built an entire ingredient category around, and it is confirmed here on this row's own list rather than inferred from the brand's centella-forward branding.
Panthenol
Panthenol, provitamin B5, is a humectant and soothing agent Korean formulas lean on to keep the rest of a formula feeling comfortable rather than tight once it sets.
Portulaca Oleracea Extract
Portulaca Oleracea Extract is a calming botanical extract common in soothing-forward Korean formulas, and this row's own ingredient list confirms it as a genuine, checkable component of the build.
Beta-Glucan
Beta-Glucan is a moisture-binding polysaccharide, often drawn from oat or mushroom, that gives a Korean formula its characteristic cushioned rather than thin finish.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stabilized, phosphate-bound brightening derivative, a common choice in Korean formulas built for daily use rather than a short, intensive course.
What is the KLAIRS Supple Preparation Facial Toner 180ml?
It is a 180ml preparation toner, the first leave on step after cleansing, pressed on with the palms rather than wiped with cotton. Its job is to leave the face evenly damp for the layers that follow. The brand also sells an unscented version of the same step.
What does the toner actually do?
It leaves the face evenly damp after cleansing, which is a better base for the next layer than dry skin. That is the whole job, and it is a real one: everything applied to damp skin spreads further and drags less. It is not a cleansing step and it is not a substitute for a moisturiser.
Should I use cotton pads or my hands?
Hands, in almost every case. Wiping drags at the skin. Cotton makes sense only when a toner is meant to lift residue, and that is a different kind of product.
Does the 180ml go before or after serum?
Before. The order runs cleanse, tone, essence, serum, moisturiser, from thinnest to thickest. A toner applied after a serum has nothing to sink into and mostly sits on the surface.

How to use
- Use it within a minute of cleansing, while the face is still damp rather than fully dry.
- Pour a small pool into clean palms and press it over the face and neck instead of wiping with cotton.
- Go over any drier areas a second time, then move straight on to the next layer.
- Do not wait for it to dry completely, since the damp surface is the entire reason for the step.
Worth knowing
- Pat it in rather than wiping it off, or the step does nothing for you.
- Follow it with a moisturising layer, since a toner alone will not hold water.
