APRILSKIN APRILSKIN PINK ALOE VITA TONER

What is this product?

Aloe-led hydrating toner with niacinamide near the top, plus vitamin C forms, tea tree, centella and panthenol, suited to soothing and daily hydration. Sensitive users should note the three essential oils in the later half of the list.

What makes it different?

Aloe vera leaf water is the first-listed ingredient, with niacinamide fourth and two vitamin C forms, ascorbic acid and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, in the later half. Tea tree appears three ways (leaf water, extract and a third tea tree item) alongside centella and hyaluronic acid. The formula uses no drying alcohol and no added parfum, but it does carry three essential oils (palmarosa, vetiver, cornmint) that give the scent and could irritate reactive skin. Nothing about pH or concentrations is printed on the page.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
