Product summary

"innisfree - Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner - Korean Skincare Australia" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.20% - 0.40% and lactic acid 0.40% - 0.65%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
Humectants (sodium lactate 0.25% - 0.45% and sodium lactate 0.45% - 0.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner uses Jeju volcanic scoria to absorb excess sebum while providing hydration for the skin.

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sodium lactate, mel.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

sodium lactate 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product

mel 2% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and attract water to it

butylene glycol 0.4% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

camellia sinensis extract 0.7% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Tea extract. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin

camellia japonica leaf extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin

opuntia coccinellifera fruit extract 0.25% - 0.5%

Key Actives

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.25% - 0.5%

Irritation risk:

Works for: Antibacterial, Anti-oxidation, Anti-aging, Moisturizing, Evens skin tone, Anti-blemish

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

lactic acid 0.4% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Works for: Evens skin tone, Moisturizing, Exfoliation, Anti-aging

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
