Why This Toner Works

This toner contains 3% azelaic acid, a gentle yet effective exfoliant that unclogs pores and reduces redness without causing excessive dryness or irritation.

The infusion of 7-Cica Complex actively soothes irritated skin and strengthens the skin barrier, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types.

Glycyrrhizic Acid and Asiatic Acid work synergistically to reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots, promoting a more even and radiant skin tone over time.

Together, these ingredients create a multi-action formula that gently exfoliates, soothes, and brightens the skin, leaving it clearer, healthier, and more balanced.
