Centella-rich toner boosts hydration and soothes redness; some find it heavy.

What the community says

This essence toner with centella and ferments supports hydration and barrier repair, favored by those using tretinoin or needing redness relief. It's heavier than typical toners, so might feel too rich for oily skin or sensitive days. Best for layering in dry or irritated skin routines.
