## How it works

The panel on this toner names five forms of centella asiatica rather than one: Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Tocopherol. 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.

## How to use

1. Apply Balancing Skin Softener 250ml after cleansing, patting it into skin in light layers rather than one heavy pour.

## FAQ

### How do I apply Balancing Skin Softener 250ml?

Pour a small amount into your palms or onto a cotton pad and press it into cleansed skin rather than dragging it across the face. Follow immediately with serum while skin is still slightly damp, since that is when a toner's hydration is most useful to the steps layered on top. Two to three light layers work better than one heavy one.

### Can Balancing Skin Softener 250ml replace a moisturizer?

No, a toner hydrates the surface but does not seal that hydration in the way an occlusive moisturizer does, so it is a step before cream rather than a substitute for one. Skipping moisturizer after toner usually means losing most of the hydration benefit to evaporation within the hour. Use both for the result either is trying to deliver on its own.

### Is Balancing Skin Softener 250ml suitable for both morning and night?

Yes, this is formulated for twice-daily use as a standard first step after cleansing. Morning use preps skin for the rest of the AM routine and any makeup that follows; evening use resets skin before serum and cream. There is no reason to limit it to only one part of the day.

### Will Balancing Skin Softener 250ml sting on sensitive skin?

This is formulated as a hydrating, low-irritation toner rather than an acid-forward treatment toner, which is usually a comfortable starting point for reactive skin. Even so, patch test any new toner before a first full-face application, since individual sensitivity varies. Stop use if you notice ongoing redness or stinging that does not settle quickly.

### Is Balancing Skin Softener 250ml the authentic Korean-market formula?

Yes, this is the same toner ongredients sells through Korean retail, sourced specifically for Korean Pharmacy's US catalog rather than reformulated for a US shelf. and its original Korean-market batch coding intact. That is the version this brand is actually known for.
