Editor's Take

Gluconolactone and Niacinamide lead a botanical-dense toner that treats exfoliation as maintenance, not aggression.

Four-pillar formula scores

  • Performance: 8.5 / 10
  • Innovative Ingredients: 7.5 / 10
  • Clean Standards: 10.0 / 10
  • Formula Sustainability: 8.8 / 10

The Verdict

This is a genuinely modern exfoliating toner that earns its Exceptional sustainability band and Strong efficacy score by anchoring PHA chemistry in a nutrient-rich aloe and rosehip base. Gluconolactone resurfaces without stripping, Niacinamide and Zinc Lactate calm reactive skin, and the botanical oils (Rosehip, Buah Merah) deliver antioxidants at active levels. Worth it for anyone who wants daily exfoliation without the usual acid burn.
