DearKlairs Unscented Hyaluronic Acid Toner — 6.08 fl oz, fragrance- & ethanol-free hydration for sensitive skin

This Korean-formulated toner combines multiple humectants and a unique essence-like texture to deliver rapid, long-lasting moisture while minimizing irritation from potent actives. It’s vegan, free of essential oils and ethanol, and formulated to be non-comedogenic so it layers smoothly under serums and treatments. The texture sits between a toner and a lightweight serum, making it useful both as a standalone hydrator and as a preparatory step for high-activity ingredients.

How does this toner calm skin that reacts to acids or retinoids?

The formula is designed to form a gentle moisture barrier that helps reduce immediate stinging or tightness after applying strong actives. Its combination of humectants and soothing components helps restore comfort quickly, making it easier to continue active treatments with less irritation.

• Viscous essence texture to cushion and soothe after actives
• Humectant blend to attract and retain moisture
• No essential oils or ethanol to reduce risk of additional irritation
• Non-comedogenic for safe layering with acne-targeting products

What kind of hydration can I expect from one use?

This toner is formulated to increase skin moisture rapidly and create a lasting hydration hold. The thicker, essence-like viscosity helps ingredients reach multiple layers of the skin surface, delivering noticeable plumping and a smooth finish without tackiness.

• Hyaluronic acid and supporting humectants for immediate plumping
• Absorbs without sticky residue for a clean feel
• Designed to lock in moisture when used before creams or oils
• Works on all skin types, including dry and combination

Will this toner clog pores or feel heavy under makeup?

No—its non-comedogenic formula and fast-absorbing texture avoid pore blockage and create a smooth base for subsequent products. Because it finishes lightly, makeup and sunscreen layer well over it without sliding or pilling.

• Non-comedogenic formulation suitable for oily and acne-prone skin
• Light, firm finish that helps makeup adhere evenly
• Absorbs quickly, preventing product separation beneath foundation
• Can be used morning and night as a layering step

How should I use this with active treatments and other steps?

Apply after cleansing and any water-based serums but before heavier creams or oils. It works especially well as a buffering step when introducing acids, retinoids, or vitamin C, helping reduce initial stinging while supporting the overall routine.

• Pat 2–3 pumps onto slightly damp skin for best absorption
• Use directly after active treatments to calm and hydrate
• Layer under moisturizers or sunscreens for long-lasting protection
• Can be used alone on no-makeup days for light hydration

Who is this for: This toner is aimed at people who want substantial hydration without fragrance or alcohol—especially those with sensitive, reactive, or layered active routines. It suits anyone seeking a vegan, non-comedogenic hydrating step that soothes post-active discomfort while supporting deeper moisture retention. Whether you’re new to actives or managing a multi-step Korean skincare routine, this product provides a gentle, effective bridge between potent treatments and heavier moisturizing steps.
