SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner 210ml

SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner 210ml pairs gentle exfoliation with the brand's usual Hyalu-Cica hydration, using an AHA and a beta-lipohydroxy acid (LHA) alongside hyaluronic acid and Centella Asiatica extract. It's built for texture and tone rather than hydration alone, exfoliating dead skin cells while still replenishing moisture in the same step.

Why You'll Love It

• Combines AHA and LHA exfoliants with hydration, rather than choosing one or the other
• Hyalu-Cica formula of hyaluronic acid and Centella Asiatica keeps the exfoliation from feeling stripping
• Niacinamide supports brightening alongside the acid exfoliation
• A high concentration of Centella Asiatica Leaf Water anchors the calming base
• Applies as a thin layer that absorbs before the next step, rather than a heavy soak

Key Ingredients

• Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) helps exfoliate and remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin
• Beta-Lipohydroxy Acid (LHA) is a gentler exfoliant that works alongside the AHA
• Centella Asiatica Extract soothes and replenishes the skin's hydration level
• Sodium Hyaluronate and Hyaluronic Acid support hydration at multiple molecular weights

Suitable For

Skin dealing with texture or dullness, though newcomers to AHA and LHA exfoliants should introduce this toner gradually.

About SKIN1004

SKIN1004 built its reputation on Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar, and the Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner brings that calming base together with gentle acid exfoliation for texture and tone. The brand's name plays on the Korean word for angel, reflecting its soothing, skin-first identity. See the full SKIN1004 range for the rest of the Hyalu-Cica line.

FAQ

Q: Is this toner suitable for beginners to acid exfoliants?
Ans: It can be, though it's sensible to introduce it gradually, perhaps every other day at first, and watch how your skin responds.

Q: Do I need sunscreen after using this toner?
Ans: Yes, AHA and LHA exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity, so a broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning is recommended.

Q: How is this different from SKIN1004's other toners?
Ans: This version combines exfoliating acids with hydration, while the brand's Probio-Cica and Tea-Trica toners focus on barrier support and blemish care instead.

Q: Can I use this toner every day?
Ans: Many people use it daily once their skin has adjusted, though starting a few times a week and building up is a sensible approach.
