Claims vs. Reality
Enriched with Panthenol and Glycerin - the ultimate hydration boost for a refreshed look. Specially formulated with a unique blend of 7 types of ceramides, fatty acids, and natural moisturising factors, this moisturiser not only hydrates, but also fortifies your skin barrier. Perfect for daily use, the lightweight and cooling gel texture soothes irritated skin while quickly absorbing into the skin without any greasy residue.
A highly elegant, biphasic (two-layer) milky toner. It combines 77.78% rice extract water with a top layer of emollient lipids. When shaken, it creates a deeply moisturizing fluid that instantly softens dry, flaky skin and delivers a noticeable 'glass skin' glow. It is richer than a standard watery toner.
The Reality: The emollient layer (Triethylhexanoin) leaves a micro-seal of lipids on the skin surface.
The Reality: Contains Niacinamide and Rice Bran Extract, both of which actively inhibit melanin transfer.
👍 Formulator Pros

- Combines hydration (water) and moisturization (oil) in one step.

Common Questions
What the community asks most — answered with formulation facts.
Why does it look separated in the bottle?+
It is a biphasic formula! The water extracts sink, and the moisturizing emollients float. You must shake it vigorously.
Is this an exfoliator?+
No. While rice bran has some natural enzymes, this toner is meant for hydration and brightening, not chemical exfoliation.
Is it fungal acne safe?+
No. It contains lipids and esters that can feed Malassezia yeast.
Will this give me glass skin?+
Yes, this is one of the most famous K-Beauty products specifically for achieving the 'glass skin' look due to its high refractive index on the skin.
What percentage of Niacinamide is in this?+
The brand does not disclose the exact percentage, but based on the ingredient list order, it is estimated to be around 2%.
Is it good for oily skin?+
Yes, but you may want to skip your moisturizer and use this as a 2-in-1 toner/lotion step.
Can I use it with Vitamin C?+
Yes, but apply your Vitamin C first on bare skin, let it absorb, then apply this toner.
Does it have a strong scent?+
It is fragrance-free, but has a very faint, natural earthy/rice water scent.
Should I use cotton pads or my hands?+
Always use your hands. Cotton pads will soak up and waste the expensive emollient layer.
Will this cause purging?+
No, it contains no active cell-turnover ingredients. Any breakouts are a reaction, not a purge.
