Ingredients Explained

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

Very nice milky toner
I bought this spontanously while looking for a toner (mainly because of the jojoba milk and oat extracts). It's actually a very good toner, but i don't neccesarily want or need more Hyaluronic Acid in my routines. So I changed to another toner, still very hydrating without HA.

FUNGAL ACNE SAFE PLEASE UPDATE.
This product is fa safe and wont clog pores. It doesn't contain Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate like this site claims (i chevked laneige myself). I bought this and it works so well for my skin.
04/5/24 - They renewed their recipe, please be careful.
This is hard to admit out loud...
This review pains me to write. This product breaks me out. It hydrates so beautifully, but leaves a film on my skin. It was the only product I added to my routine at night. The next day I had acne breakouts. I suspect it is the Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil. My skin felt so soft after using it that I hate to give it away. I plan to use it on my décolletage. 😉
