How it works
Niacinamide leads the ingredient panel on this formula. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists. On this panel it sits alongside Hippophae Rhamnoides Water, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. Hippophae Rhamnoides is sea buckthorn. Its water is used in place of plain water as a base and carries traces of the fruit's vitamins.

Key actives
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Hippophae Rhamnoides Water
Hippophae Rhamnoides is sea buckthorn. Its water is used in place of plain water as a base and carries traces of the fruit's vitamins.
Allantoin
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.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
What does Niacinamide do in this toner pad?
Niacinamide sits among the first ingredients on the list, the tone-evening, barrier-supporting active Korean formulas lean on most often, and its early position here means it is not a token dose.
Is Betaine also in this formula?
Betaine sits within the first ten ingredients, a humectant and comfort ingredient common across Korean bases. It sits alongside Niacinamide on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.
How is this toner pad used in a routine?
Take one pad and sweep it evenly across the face, working outward from the center. Follow with the next step of the routine. It works as an early routine step, right after cleansing and before serum.
Who is this toner pad suited for?
Sensitive skin, Normal skin are the best fit for this toner pad. Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

How to use
- Take one pad and wipe outward from the centre of the face with the textured side.
- Turn it over and press the smooth side across the cheeks, forehead and jaw.
- Follow with your serum and moisturiser while the surface is still damp.
- Do not skip sunscreen the next morning, because unprotected daylight works directly against tone work.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

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.
