How it works
Niacinamide leads the ingredient panel on this toner. 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 camellia sinensis leaf extract, adenosine and biosaccharide gum-1. Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.

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.
camellia sinensis leaf extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.
adenosine
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.
biosaccharide gum-1
Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel.
What step does this go in my routine?
It goes right after cleansing and before essence or serum, as one of the first leave-on layers rather than a final step. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
Do I need to rinse it off?
No, it stays on the skin, and the next step is layered directly on top of it rather than rinsing it away. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
Can I use it with a cotton pad?
Yes, a cotton pad works well for an even, gentle first sweep, though patting it in with clean hands works just as well. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
Is it enough hydration on its own?
It is designed as the first hydrating layer, not the whole routine, so most people follow it with essence, serum or a moisturizer. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
How much should I use?
A few sweeps with a soaked cotton pad, or a few drops patted in by hand, is typical for one application. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.

How to use
- Apply it straight after cleansing, on skin that has not had time to dry out.
- A small pool in the palms covers the face and neck, pressed in with flat hands rather than cotton wool.
- Follow immediately with your essence or serum while the surface is still slightly damp.
- Avoid wiping it on with a cotton pad, because wiping wastes most of the liquid and drags at the skin.
Worth knowing
- Pat rather than rub into skin, and avoid the eye area if the formula is fragranced.
- Introduce any new product gradually rather than adding several new steps to a routine at once, so any reaction is easy to trace back to the right cause.
