Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A hydrating, soothing toner built around artemisia leaf water at 18,944 ppm, with panthenol and centella extract, though it does contain fragrance.
What makes it different?
The toner lists artemisia leaf water as its fifth ingredient at a printed 18,944 ppm, a higher disclosed concentration than most artemisia toners state. Panthenol and centella flower/leaf/stem extract add soothing support, and a Lactobacillus ferment appears mid-to-late in the list. The ingredient list is short and water-glycol based, which suits sensitive or dehydrated skin, but fragrance is present and the 4x-efficacy claims rely on in-vitro tests whose lab and conditions are not disclosed.
