SKIN 1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner KR Edition
Benefits
Promise: Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Niacinamide and adenosine deliver brightening and anti-wrinkle effects.
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine, gluconolactone, niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: centella asiatica extract.
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.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| adenosine | HIGH |  |  |
| gluconolactone | HIGH | | |
| niacinamide | HIGH | | |
Promise: Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Infused with PHA to gently exfoliate sensitive skin for a smooth and bright skin finish.
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconolactone.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| gluconolactone | HIGH | | |
Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Moisturizes skin with hyaluronic acid and restores skin's oil-water balance with betaine.
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, hyaluronic acid.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| betaine | HIGH | | |
| centella asiatica extract | HIGH | | |
| gluconolactone | HIGH | | |
Other benefit: Anti-blemish
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains niacinamide.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: gluconolactone
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| niacinamide | HIGH | | |
| gluconolactone | MEDIUM | | |
| centella asiatica extract | LOW | | |
Other benefit: Evens skin tone
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconolactone, niacinamide
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.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| gluconolactone | HIGH | | |
| niacinamide | HIGH | | |
Other benefit: Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract, gluconolactone) 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.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| centella asiatica extract | MEDIUM | | |
| gluconolactone | MEDIUM | | |
| adenosine | LOW | | |

It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals | |
