Laka Scaling Toner 150ml – Mild AHA/PHA Exfoliating Toner with Dual PDRN & Hyaluronic Acid

Laka Skin Care Scaling Toner is a lightweight, watery exfoliating toner that gently removes dead skin with AHA, PHA and LHA while delivering hydration from hyaluronic acid and dual PDRN for a smoother, plumper finish.

This 150ml Korean toner is formulated to soften rough texture and balance oil without heavy stripping. It combines chemical exfoliants at a mild strength with a dual PDRN base (salmon DNA plus plant-derived PDRN) and hyaluronic acid to help skin look more even and feel hydrated after use. The texture is thin and fast-absorbing, designed to be used early in your routine to prep skin for serums and creams.

How does this toner gently exfoliate without causing dryness?

The formula uses a blend of AHA and PHA with LHA to loosen and remove surface dead cells while maintaining the skin’s moisture. PHAs are known for being less irritating than stronger AHAs, and LHA targets pores for clearer texture.

• Mild AHA/PHA combination for surface smoothing
• LHA for targeted, pore-friendly exfoliation
• Light, water-like texture that minimizes residue
• Recommended patch test and gradual introduction to reduce risk of sensitivity

What role does PDRN and hyaluronic acid play in the formula?

Dual PDRN (salmon DNA + plant-based PDRN) works alongside hyaluronic acid to support visible plumpness and sustained hydration after exfoliation. This pairing helps skin recover its comfortable feel and can make subsequent skincare steps more effective.

• Salmon-derived and plant PDRN for skin-smoothing hydration
• Hyaluronic acid draws and retains moisture
• Combined to reduce tightness after exfoliation
• Prepares skin for better serum and moisturizer absorption

When and how should I include this toner in my skincare routine?

Use the Scaling Toner after cleansing and before any active boosters or serums. Apply with a cotton pad or by patting a few drops into skin, then follow the LAKA 4-step Skin Boost routine for optimal results.

• Step 1: Active Toner (this product) to prep skin
• Step 2: Active Booster to increase absorption
• Step 3: Active Serum to target concerns
• Step 4: Wrapping Cream with ceramides to seal in moisture

Is this product safe for sensitive or reactive skin?

The toner is formulated to be mild, but any exfoliating product can trigger a reaction in sensitive skin. LAKA advises checking the full ingredient list, performing a patch test, and introducing the product slowly to monitor tolerance.

• Patch test on the body before facial use
• Start with 1–2 uses per week and increase if tolerated
• Stop use and consult a doctor if irritation appears within 24 hours
• Customer Service is available for ingredient questions

Who is this for: The Laka Scaling Toner suits anyone seeking gentle chemical exfoliation with hydration—ideal for normal, combination, and mildly congested skin types who want smoother texture without heavy, sticky formulas. It’s also a good pick for users building a multi-step K-beauty routine who plan to layer boosters and serums. Avoid if you have known allergies to any listed ingredients or if your skin is currently inflamed; consult a healthcare professional when in doubt.
