AHC Hydrating Aqualuronic Toner For Face Korean Skincare 150 ml

Product Information

When I was first introduced to AHC (a K-Beauty brand), I fell completely head over heels for it, see posts here and here. But it's not only a simple emollient, it regenerates and soothes the skin, protects it from external factors (such as UV rays or wind) and is also rich in antioxidants (among others vitamin A, E, F, quercetin and epigallocatechin gallate). I personally only use the range at night, due to how powerful the retinal is, combined with how sensitive my skin is, and the medication that I have been on for a while, which also makes my skin more sensitive to the sun. This hydrating facial toner is expertly formulated to supercharge moisture-levels and quench thirsty skin.

Instead of being watery, it's milky, but it absorbs very easily and quickly, without any pilling, which is one of my pet hates when it comes to skincare. English translation equals that it probably contributes to the well-established moisturizing and wound healing abilities of Gotu Kola. AHC Youth Focus Pro Retinal Emulsion*: Ordinarily, I would use an essence after a toner, but with this range, it's recommended that the emulsion is used before the essence, in place of serums.Super common little helper ingredient that helps products to remain nice and stable for a longer time. Fast absorbing: the gel-like toner melts to water when smearing on face to facilitate fast absorption, promoting hydration level.

Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a pretty interesting kind of sugar ingredient that is created from sorbitol via bacterial fermentation. It also gives sensorial benefits to the formula and when used in cleansers, it helps to make them milder and gentler. A 2007 study showed that Phytosphingosine even works against evil acne-causing bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes and shows promise as a complementing active ingredient in treating acne-prone skin thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. A really multi-functional helper ingredient that can do several things in a skincare product: it can bring a soft and pleasant feel to the formula, it can act as a humectant and emollient, it can be a solvent for some other ingredients (for example it can help to stabilize perfumes in watery products) and it can also help to disperse pigments more evenly in makeup products. It is also a natural osmoprotectant, meaning that it attracts water away from the protein surface and thus protects them from denaturation and increases their thermodynamic stability.The toner is formulated using French Sea Water and Ceramides, helping to protect and maintain your skin’s natural moisture barrier to keep hydration locked in.
