What the gurus are saying

Despite its watery texture, this toner delivers deep hydration and reliably soothes redness and inflammation. Gurus credit the Centella content for effectively calming irritated skin and bringing down pimple inflammation, making it especially valuable for those with sensitive skin or compromised barriers; many find using two layers boosts hydration. However, it won't brighten skin, improve texture, or address fine lines.

"I adore this. [...] What I really like about it is two things. Number one, the texture. It's really light, fluidy, very quickly absorbed into the skin. [...] It's not sticky or tacky. It just really absorbs very deeply into the skin to replenish hydration deep down at the source. [...] I can put on one layer, two layers of this and get a lot of hydration. I do suffer with dehydration, so I really need my toner to work hard for my skin. I would recommend it for all skin types."

Classic K-Beauty Skincare I STILL Recommend in 2026!

My End of Winter Retinal PM Skincare Routine

"Even though it is really one of my favorite hydrating toners, it is very thin, it's very watery. As you can see, there's really no like bounce or slip to it. It's just like a pure watery type of toner. But it has that really great high content of Centella as well as the active compounds of Centella. So it's actually quite soothing. It's really good for any inflammation, redness, maybe even some acne. And so I really like to do about two layers of this one."

"This is probably one of the most hydrating toners I have personally ever used. Thin, watery, lightweight, quickly absorbed in the skin and yet that special quality of diving deeper down into the skin to really burst into hydration and really relieve that dehydrated feeling deep within the skin. What's a little bit more special about this particular one is the Centella content here actually brings a lot of soothing. There is just a really nice calming effect to this."

"It's such a lovely product if you're looking for something that is just hydrating and soothing to the skin. If you have a damaged skin barrier, I'm happy for you to use this. Are you going to get any brightening effects with it? No. Is it going to help with texture? No. Is it going to help with fine lines? No. But I'm still approving this product because it is safe and it's going to be good if you have a dehydrated barrier."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
