APLB - Glutathione Niacinamide Facial Toner 160ml

APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Facial Toner is the first step of the line — niacinamide with centella and rice extract in a lightweight, moisturizing texture.

A toner that hydrates rather than strips

Old-style toners were astringent and alcohol-heavy. Korean toners work the opposite way: they add moisture and prepare skin for the steps that follow, which is why they belong in a routine at all.

Niacinamide for tone

One of the best-studied ingredients for the look of uneven tone and dullness, and unusually well tolerated compared with stronger brightening actives.

Rice extract

A long-standing Korean skincare ingredient, used for moisture and its association with a brighter-looking complexion. Rice-based formulas are among the most traditional in the category.

Centella for comfort

The soothing element that makes brightening actives tolerable on reactive skin — this category is where stinging usually happens.

Apply to damp skin

A toner spreads more evenly and absorbs better on skin that’s still slightly wet from cleansing. It also helps the serum that follows spread properly.

How to use

After cleansing, dispense onto palms or a cotton pad and sweep over face and neck, then pat until absorbed. Layer a second application on dry areas. Follow with serum and moisturizer. Use morning and evening.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a toner at all?

In a Korean routine it’s the hydrating first step rather than a stripping one — which makes it genuinely useful rather than optional filler.

Palms or cotton pad?

Palms waste less product; a cotton pad gives light physical cleansing. Either works — press rather than rub.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The brand states the formula suits sensitive skin. Patch test first if yours reacts easily.

Can I use it with acids or retinol?

Yes — niacinamide layers well with both. Introduce one new active at a time.

How long does 160ml last?

Around two months with twice-daily use.
