“This is a moisturizing toner composed with Boseong Green Tea Extract and 99.9% Truebiome™ to help solving skin dehydration.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: ceramide np, pentylene glycol.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Bifida ferment lysate + 1 moreMay help

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
