NARD Low pH Peeling Toner Pad

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-01

What is this product?

NARD Low pH Peeling Toner Pad is a 140 ml, 70-sheet two-faced toner pad from a Korean brand, positioned as a weakly acidic exfoliating and moisturizing pad. Its printed list has 48 entries, led by water and humectant glycols, with panthenol and niacinamide at 16th and 18th, one acid-class name and one lactone, six herb extracts the brand counts plus three more extract entries, five hyaluronate-family names and three ceramide names. No fragrance entry is printed and no pH value is printed. The brand's renewal notice calls the change notation-only while its two printed lists show different amounts for one extract.

What makes it different?

A weakly acidic pad whose exfoliating claim rests on one acid-class name and one lactone with no printed amount, set inside a humectant, panthenol, ceramide and herb extract base. The brand's renewal notice prints two different amounts for the same extract while saying the contents are unchanged, and the irritation test it cites does not name the tested product.

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.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

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