Face Reality Moisture Balance Toner delivers deep, lasting hydration to skin that feels tight, flaky, or stripped. Built around sodium hyaluronate, sodium PCA, and glucosamine HCl, this fragrance-free toner replenishes moisture at multiple levels while calming irritation and reinforcing the skin's protective barrier.
Key Benefits
Deep, Multi-Layer Hydration Sodium hyaluronate and sodium PCA work together to attract and bind water within the skin, relieving tightness and visible dehydration without adding weight or residue.
Prebiotic Microbiome Support Fructooligosaccharides feed beneficial bacteria on the skin's surface, helping maintain a balanced, healthy microbiome that supports clearer, calmer skin over time.
Barrier Repair and Soothing Relief Glucosamine HCl and gluconolactone gently strengthen the moisture barrier while sorbitol, glycerin, and proline condition and soothe skin that feels reactive or sensitized from acne treatments or environmental stress.
Gentle Antimicrobial Protection Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate and o-cymen-5-ol provide mild, naturally derived antimicrobial activity, keeping the skin clean without disrupting its delicate balance.
Clean, Irritant-Free Formula Completely fragrance-free and formulated without parabens, making it a safe daily step for even the most sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

If your skin feels tight, flaky, or chronically dehydrated, especially while using active acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide or retinoids, this toner was designed for you. It restores the moisture that strong actives and harsh weather strip away, without clogging pores or triggering breakouts.
Ideal for dry, dehydrated, sensitive, eczema-prone, or mature skin types. If you struggle with that uncomfortable taut feeling after cleansing, or if your skin looks dull and rough despite a consistent routine, the issue is likely dehydration, and this toner addresses it directly.
It is also an excellent choice for acne-prone skin that needs hydration support. Keeping the skin properly hydrated helps reduce the excess oil production and irritation that can worsen breakouts.

Prepare: After cleansing, saturate an Intrinsics Silken Toner Pad with toner.
Apply: Gently sweep the pad across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Frequency: Use morning and evening. Follow with your serum and moisturizer. Apply SPF as a final step in your morning routine.

- Sodium PCA: Attracts moisture from the environment to help maintain natural moisturizing factor (NMF).
- Fructooligosaccharides: A prebiotic, naturally occurring carbohydrate derived from cane or beet sugar, that helps maintain a healthy microbiome in the skin to strengthen immunity and promote hydration.
