Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Purifying Toner is a lightweight, clarifying toner that helps remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and buildup without stripping your skin. Centella Asiatica (also called Cica) is a plant extract known for its soothing and calming properties—it helps reduce redness and supports skin recovery. Tea Tree, the other star ingredient, is naturally purifying and helps keep blemish-prone areas in check.
Who is This For?

FAQs

Q: Can I use this toner every day?
A: Yes, it can be used daily in both morning and evening routines, but if you experience dryness or irritation, reduce usage to once daily or every other day.
Q: Does this toner contain alcohol?
A: No, this formula does not contain drying alcohols such as denatured alcohol or ethanol.
Q: Can I use this with other acne treatments?
A: Use caution when combining with other exfoliating acids or retinoids; alternate usage times or days to avoid over-exfoliation.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: Most users notice reduced oiliness and smoother texture within 1-2 weeks, while improvements in congestion and breakouts typically become more visible after 3-4 weeks of consistent use.
Q: Who should avoid this toner?
A: Those with known allergies to Tea Tree or Salicylic Acid should skip this product, and anyone currently using prescription acne treatments should consult their dermatologist before adding it to their routine.

How to Use
Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry. Dispense a few drops of toner onto your fingertips or a cotton pad. Gently pat or swipe the toner across your entire face, focusing on oily or congested areas. Allow the toner to absorb fully before applying subsequent skincare products.
