Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A lightweight toner built on sea buckthorn water with fruit and flower extracts, aimed at oily or combination skin that wants a cooling, fresh step in a pore-care routine. Its pore-firming and pore-shrinking claims are marketing language without disclosed test evidence.
What makes it different?
The formula opens with sea buckthorn water rather than plain water, followed by chlorella, wild strawberry, hibiscus and other plant extracts in the front half. Menthol at position 19 gives a noticeable cooling sensation that matches the brand's cooling claim. No drying alcohol appears in the list, and the fragrance at position 27 is the main sensitivity flag.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
Did the ad claims hold up?
We checked 3 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.
