Editorial research review

A 230 mL jar of 90 toner pads with glycerin, panthenol, azelaic acid and several hyaluronic acid ingredients in the listed solution. It belongs at the toner step and is distinct from Anua’s similarly named serum.

Editorial research review

A 200 mL milky body oil with water and glycerin first, alongside sunflower seed oil, urea and squalane. Haruharu wonder lists mandelic acid and fragrance, both relevant when comparing it with a plain body oil.

Editorial research review

An optional ampoule step with a centella complex, polyglutamic acid and peptides alongside Sodium DNA. Compare the whole formula with any hydrating serum you already use. The brand listing supplies the ingredient evidence.

Editorial research review

A 210 mL centella and glycerin toner. SKIN1004 identifies the Sodium DNA in the formula as plant-derived PDRN. The maker’s list also includes niacinamide, panthenol and a salicylic acid derivative.

Editorial research review

A brightening-focused ampoule that combines sh-Oligopeptide-1 with niacinamide, tranexamic acid, a vitamin C derivative, alpha-arbutin and glutathione. Those supporting ingredients are the more established reason to consider it for the look of dark marks. Evidence for EGF in a retail serum remains limited.

Editorial research review

A 150 mL milky toner with rice extract, panthenol and ceramide NP. It fits as an optional layer after cleansing and before the rest of your routine.

Editorial research review

A 150 mL exfoliating toner with glycolic and salicylic acids. Check for those acids in the rest of your routine if you want to avoid doubling up.

Editorial research review

A 210 mL face toner with centella leaf water, glycerin and niacinamide in the maker’s list. The declared formula also contains citric acid and capryloyl salicylic acid.

Editorial research review

A 50 mL leave-on spicule booster built around a humectant-rich formula. Glycerin and butylene glycol appear near the start, with panthenol, ectoin and hyaluronic acid derivatives elsewhere in the list. It still contains silica.

Editorial research review

The 210 mL version of SKIN1004’s Centella Toning Toner. The maker lists centella extract, niacinamide, gluconolactone and betaine. It is the PHA toner in the Centella range.

Editorial research review

Dual-textured, essence-soaked toner pads designed for quick hydration and glow-focused skin preparation. They are primarily a hydrating convenience format rather than an exfoliating treatment.

Editorial research review

A 100 mL facial serum mist with a silicone, glycol and panthenol base and Sodium DNA on the maker’s ingredient list. Its spray format is the main distinction from a dropper serum. The maker’s declaration supplies the formula evidence.

Editorial research review

A 34 g hydrogel sheet with pineapple fruit water, glycerin and niacinamide near the top of the ingredient list. It offers a longer-wear mask format. The declaration gives no niacinamide concentration and does not establish a lasting effect on uneven tone.

Editorial research review

A 60 mL moisturiser that includes retinol, squalane and ceramide NP. Check the formula if you already use a retinoid or prefer to avoid one.

Editorial research review

A two-part collagen gel-pad treatment containing salmon-derived sodium DNA, niacinamide, capryloyl salicylic acid and retinol. It is more active than a basic hydrating toner pad and should be introduced cautiously.

Editorial research review

A 60-pad product designed for the toner step. SKIN1004 lists niacinamide second and also declares panthenol, kojic acid, ferulic acid and glutathione. The net weight or volume is unconfirmed.

Editorial research review

A 30 mL serum with Sodium DNA, niacinamide and panthenol. The manufacturer’s ingredient list helps compare the formula with other serums, but gives no head-to-head performance result.

Editorial research review

A 270 mL gel toner with rose flower water and sodium hyaluronate. Check the ingredient list if you are avoiding retinoids, as it also includes retinal.
