Five types of hyaluronic acid plus arbutin in an alcohol-free, fragrance-free formula at under ¥800 for 170ml. The ingredient density benchmark for all hydrating toners.
Five types of hyaluronic acid (regular, nano, super, acetyl, and hydrolyzed) at a budget price for 170ml — the ingredient density here is genuinely competitive with toners three to four times the price. The texture is watery-to-slightly-viscous, absorbs cleanly in 30-60 seconds depending on skin type, and leaves no tacky residue. Arbutin provides a mild brightening effect that's visible after consistent use rather than immediately. No alcohol, no fragrance, formulated for all skin types including sensitive skin.
Pros
- Five types of hyaluronic acid at a budget price — unmatched ingredient density for the cost
- No alcohol, no fragrance — genuinely well-tolerated on sensitive skin
- 170ml bottle lasts 2-3 months of twice-daily use
Cons
- Does not exfoliate or contain high-concentration actives — purely hydration and mild brightening
- Arbutin brightening is subtle over months, not visible in the first week
