SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Balancing Toner 210ml — Lightweight Hydrating & Soothing Toner with Gentle Exfoliation

SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Balancing Toner is a lightweight Korean toner that hydrates, soothes, and gently renews skin using hyaluronic complexes, Madagascar Centella water, and mild AHA/LHA exfoliants.

This balancing toner is formulated to restore moisture and calm sensitive or stressed skin after cleansing while promoting a smoother surface through gentle chemical exfoliation. It combines a multi-molecular hyaluronic blend (Hyalu), a high concentration of Madagascar Centella Asiatica leaf water (Cica) for calming comfort, and low-irritation acids—citric acid (AHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA)—to help refine texture without stripping. The 210 ml size delivers multiple weeks of daily use and suits routines that prioritize hydration, soothing, and lightweight resurfacing.

How does this toner hydrate without feeling heavy?

The Hyalu-Cica complex layers several sizes of hyaluronic derivatives to pull moisture into different skin layers, so skin feels plump rather than coated. The formula absorbs quickly, leaving a soft, non-greasy finish suitable under serums or makeup.

• Multi-weight hyaluronic ingredients for immediate and lasting hydration
• Fast-absorbing water-like texture that layers easily
• Leaves skin supple and ready for the next steps in your routine

Will this toner calm irritated or sensitive skin?

Madagascar Centella Asiatica leaf water is the core calming ingredient, chosen for its ability to soothe reddened or reactive skin. Combined with a gentle overall formula and dermatological irritation testing, the product aims to provide comfort without aggressive actives.

• High concentration of Centella leaf water to reduce visible discomfort
• Low-irritation acids at mild concentrations for minimal sensitivity risk
• PETA-certified cruelty-free and formulated for daily use

How does the gentle exfoliation work and who should use it?

Citric acid (AHA) lightly loosens dead skin cells on the surface while capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA) offers a milder, oil-soluble exfoliation to support clearer pores and smoother texture. This combination is designed for those seeking subtle renewal without abrasive scrubs, but users should introduce the toner slowly if they have very reactive skin.

• Surface-smoothing AHA for brighter-looking skin
• LHA for comfortable, targeted exfoliation around pores
• Best for people wanting mild resurfacing alongside hydration

How do I add this toner to my daily skincare routine?

Apply after cleansing to prepare skin for serums and moisturizers. You can pour onto a cotton pad for light exfoliation or dispense into your palms and press into the skin for hydration without waste. Use once daily or every other day when first starting, then increase frequency as tolerated.

• Use post-cleanse on cotton pad or with palms, pat gently to absorb
• Layer serums and creams after the toner to lock in moisture
• Start slowly if combining with other acids; avoid eye contact

Who is this for: SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Balancing Toner is suited to anyone seeking lightweight, effective hydration combined with gentle chemical exfoliation—particularly those with sensitive, dehydrated, or combination skin who want calming ingredients and smoother texture without heavy formulations. It’s ideal for daily use in both morning and evening skincare routines, provided users monitor skin sensitivity when introducing AHA/LHA. As always, discontinue use if irritation occurs and follow with sunscreen during daytime when using exfoliants.
