Updated September 2, 2026
Hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps skin with a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula.
What the community says
This toner delivers hydrating hyaluronic acid in a watery, lightweight formula that layers well under makeup or other products. It suits combo to dry skin types seeking plumpness without heaviness. Some oily skin users find it too rich or pore-clogging, though.
