SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner 210mL

a highly effective toner designed to hydrate, brighten, and soothe the skin. It is part of SKIN1004’s popular Madagascar Centella line, which features Centella Asiatica extract sourced from Madagascar, known for its exceptional calming and healing properties. This toner is formulated to balance the skin, reduce inflammation, and improve the skin's overall brightness, making it an ideal addition to any skincare routine.

Key Ingredients:

1. Centella Asiatica Extract (74%): Sourced from Madagascar, Centella Asiatica is a renowned ingredient in Korean skincare for its soothing and healing properties. It helps to calm irritated or inflamed skin, reduce redness, and repair the skin barrier, making it great for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

2. Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that attracts moisture to the skin, keeping it hydrated, plump, and smooth. This ingredient helps to lock in moisture, preventing dehydration and dryness while leaving the skin feeling soft.

3. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Niacinamide is known for its brightening properties, helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It also strengthens the skin barrier and helps regulate oil production, making it beneficial for both dry and oily skin types.

4. Cica Complex: This combination of Centella Asiatica with other compounds helps to further enhance the calming and healing effects on the skin, promoting faster recovery of damaged or irritated skin.

5. Fruit Acids (AHA/BHA): These mild exfoliating acids work to gently remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture. AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) target surface-level dead skin, while BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) penetrate deeper to clear out pores and reduce blackheads.

Benefits:

• Brightening: Niacinamide works alongside the mild exfoliation from AHAs and BHAs to reveal brighter, more even-toned skin, reducing the appearance of dullness and hyperpigmentation.
• Hydration: Hyaluronic acid helps attract moisture to the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated throughout the day. This is especially important after cleansing, which can strip the skin of natural oils.
• Calming and Soothing: The high concentration of Centella Asiatica in the toner helps to soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and calm redness, making it perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
• Exfoliation: With the inclusion of fruit acids, this toner provides gentle exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and helping with skin renewal, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant over time.
• Oil Control: Niacinamide helps to regulate excess sebum production, making it suitable for oily and combination skin types.

Texture and Application:

The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner has a lightweight, watery texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. It preps the skin for the next steps in your skincare routine, enhancing the absorption of serums and moisturizers.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing, dispense a small amount of toner onto a cotton pad or directly into your hands.
2. Gently sweep the toner across your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
3. Pat lightly until fully absorbed, and follow up with your favorite serum and moisturizer.
4. Use both morning and night for best results.

Skin Types:

• Sensitive Skin: The soothing properties of Centella Asiatica make this toner ideal for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Centella’s healing effects, combined with the gentle exfoliation from AHAs and BHAs, can help improve skin texture and reduce breakouts.
