SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner 30ml

The centella brightening toner 30ml carries the highest Centella Asiatica Leaf Water concentration in the range, at over 74%, and pairs it with two gentle exfoliating acids: Citric Acid, functioning as an AHA, and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, functioning as an LHA. Unlike the larger 210ml tone brightening toner, this one leans on exfoliation and the Hyalu-Cica hydration base rather than niacinamide and vitamin C, making it a distinct product rather than a smaller repackaging of the same thing.

Why You'll Love It

• Centella Asiatica Leaf Water at over 74% concentration, higher than almost anything else in the SKIN1004 lineup.
• Citric Acid (AHA) and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) offer gentle exfoliation without the intensity of stronger acid toners.
• Hyalu-Cica formula keeps the exfoliating acids from feeling drying, balancing the two functions in one step.
• 30ml size makes it easy to trial before committing to the full-size range.

Key Ingredients

• Alpha Hydroxy Acid (Citric Acid): helps exfoliate and remove dead skin cells from the surface.
• Beta-Lipohydroxy Acid (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid): a gentle exfoliator that also removes dead skin cells.
• Hyalu-Cica Formula (Hyaluronic Acid + Centella Asiatica): soothes and replenishes the skin's hydration level.

Dry to normal skin wanting gentle exfoliation without a strong acid toner. The high Centella Asiatica Leaf Water content keeps the formula from feeling stripping, though those new to acids should patch test first.
