Hanyul Artemisia Hydrating Toner Pads

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-20

What is this product?

A hydrating toner pad built on two artemisia leaf waters (about 1.1% combined) plus hyaluronic acid, inositol and a small amount of centella, aimed at oily-dehydrated skin that wants light moisture rather than heavy occlusion. Contains fragrance, so very reactive skin should take note.

What makes it different?

Artemisia waters sit high in the list at 5th and 6th place with printed concentrations of 10,780 ppm and 10,554 ppm, which is unusually specific disclosure for botanical waters. Humectants layer in behind them, including hyaluronic acid at 100 ppm (18th), inositol (20th), polyglutamic acid (22nd) and sodium hyaluronate at 1.5 ppm (29th). The hydrating claims lean on a disclosed human application test run at a named institution. Fragrance is included at 14th position, and there is no functional cosmetic notice on the page checked.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

Key ingredientWorth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 락토바실러스발효물, 폴리글리세릴-10라우레이트
