SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner 30ml

The skin1004 centella toning toner keeps its formula simple: Centella Asiatica Extract at 25,715 ppm, one of the higher concentrations across the brand's toners, paired with a single PHA, Gluconolactone, rather than a multi-acid complex. Betaine helps the skin adapt to moisture loss and gain, and Niacinamide rounds things out for tone. It's a gentler starting point than the brand's poremizing toner for anyone new to exfoliating toners.

Why You'll Love It

• Centella Asiatica Extract at 25,715 ppm is a substantial concentration, supporting collagen synthesis and soothing at the same time.
• Gluconolactone, a PHA, effectively exfoliates and promotes skin turnover, smoothing texture while absorbing moisture from the air into the skin.
• Betaine helps the skin adapt to moisture loss and gain, maintaining the skin's moisture balance during exfoliation.
• A single-acid formula makes this a gentler option than a multi-acid toner for those newer to exfoliating skincare.

Key Ingredients

• Centella Asiatica Extract (25,715 ppm): supports collagen synthesis, wound healing and soothing.
• Gluconolactone (1,000 ppm, PHA): exfoliates gently and promotes skin turnover while helping prevent moisture loss.
