Is this toner good for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is formulated around PHA rather than AHA or BHA, which is gentler and better tolerated. Centella extract adds a soothing element. Patch test first if your skin reacts to botanicals.

How is PHA different from AHA and BHA?

PHA molecules are larger, so they sit closer to the skin surface and exfoliate more slowly. That means less irritation but slower results than glycolic or salicylic acid.

Can I use it every day?

SKIN1004 designed it for daily use. Start once a day and add frequency if your skin tolerates it, and use sunscreen since it is still an exfoliant.

Does it replace an AHA or BHA toner?

Only if you want gentle maintenance. For active breakouts or heavy texture, a BHA product will do more; this toner is a milder option.

Sweep it over clean skin with a cotton pad or pat it in with your hands, then follow with serum and moisturizer.

Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?

It is mild enough that many routines combine them, but introduce one active at a time and watch for dryness or stinging.

About the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner

Madagascar Centella Toning Toner is a hydrating, soothing toner that gently exfoliates dead skin cells. It can be used daily and is suitable for sensitive skin. It is mildly acidic to match the skin's pH.

It uses PHA (gluconolactone) instead of AHA or BHA. PHA is a chemical exfoliant with a higher molecular weight, so it exfoliates without irritating the skin. Centella Asiatica extract soothes the skin and replenishes its hydration. The formula also helps strengthen the skin barrier.

The Centella line is made with Madagascan centella leaves and a minimal set of essential ingredients. It leaves out unnecessary harmful preservatives and chemicals.
