Description
The Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner is part of SKIN1004’s Hyalu-Cica range, which pairs centella with hyaluronic acid for hydration. This 210 ml toner (also offered in a 30 ml size) is designed to hydrate, gently smooth the surface of the skin and help the complexion look brighter and more even, while staying soft enough for daily use.
Key ingredients
- Centella asiatica leaf water – replaces plain water as the base for a comforting feel.
- Hyaluronic acid – adds a layer of lightweight hydration.
- Ceramide NP – supports the look of a healthy moisture barrier.
- Capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA) and citric acid – mild exfoliating ingredients that help smooth texture and support a brighter look.
How to use
- After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount to a cotton pad or directly into your palm.
- Gently pat over the face to absorb.
- Continue with serum and moisturizer.
- In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
Who it suits
SKIN1004 lists normal, sensitive and combination skin among the best matches, with normal and dry skin also mentioned on its product page. It is a good option for dull-looking or uneven-toned skin that wants hydration and gentle smoothing rather than a strong acid toner.
Good to know
The formula includes mild exfoliating ingredients, so introduce it gradually if you already use other acids or retinoids, and wear sunscreen during the day. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for a few days and stop using the product if redness, itching or stinging appears. Avoid the eye area unless the product is designed for it, and speak with a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a known skin condition or allergy.
