NARD NARD Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner

What is this product?

A water-light hydrating toner built on multiple hyaluronic acid derivatives plus panthenol, allantoin and niacinamide, suited to dehydrated and sensitive skin. Its five ceramide types and centella extract point to a moisture-barrier focus at large volume.

What makes it different?

The formula uses a layered hyaluronic approach: Sodium Hyaluronate sits 16th at a printed 101 ppm, while Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate appear from 37th to 40th with printed ppb concentrations. Panthenol, allantoin and niacinamide follow at 17th, 18th and 19th, with Centella Asiatica Extract at 21st. Five ceramide types (items 42 and 49 through 52) appear near the end, an unusual addition for a toner. The base relies on humectants such as Glycerin (3rd) and butylene glycol (4th) rather than drying alcohol or added fragrance.
