HANJO COLLECTION Truly Moist Repair Toner
Works for
Anti-agingAdenosine, Centella asiatica leaf extract + 5 moreWorks well
“Adenosine and peptides in this toner reduces the appearance of wrinkles and forms a protective barrier for lasting moisture.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: centella asiatica leaf extract, hexapeptide-9, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-1, tripeptide-29.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingLinoleic acid, Ceramide np + 16 moreWorks well
“Adenosine and peptides in this toner reduces the appearance of wrinkles and forms a protective barrier for lasting moisture.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: ceramide np, linoleic acid.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, hexapeptide-9, linoleic acid, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-1, tripeptide-29
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Glutathione, Camellia sinensis leaf extractWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glutathione
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Glutathione + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (glutathione) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Product summary
"HANJO COLLECTION - Truly Moist Repair Toner" is effective for: Anti-aging, Moisturizing and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.75%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- Peptides (sh-polypeptide-1 0.10% - 0.35%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.40%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.45% and tripeptide-29 0.10% - 0.45%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Adenosine 1.20% - 1.90%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
- Another helpful ingredient in this product is Linoleic Acid. It is one of the fatty acids naturally present in skin. It is part of the skin barrier. Preliminary research shows that it might be able to reduce clogged pores.
- Humectants (hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.45%, polyglutamic acid 0.35% - 0.75%, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 1.00% - 1.50% and glycerin 4.20% - 6.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
