What the gurus are saying

This affordable, bestselling Korean toner earns praise for hydration and gentleness, making it ideal for beginners, though dermatologists note a formula concern: it combines an acid designed only for evening use with fragrance, both of which seem to work against what could have been an excellent niacinamide formula. Modest brightening is possible if you're addressing pigmentation.

"This one has been a very popular, number one toner here in Korea for a long time. You put it on a cotton pad and wipe it out, it's slightly slippery and easy to wipe off. It's really affordable and comes in a big size, and you can use it as the last step of cleansing. It doesn't have any strong features, it's a safe choice for everyone. It also says it has gentle exfoliating ingredients, but I can't really feel that. It's great for beginners, it's like pure water but it's not water, it just makes you hydrated. It's a pretty good one to start with as your first toner. Many people mention using it like a micellar cleansing water too. At first I just tapped it on like a cleanser and it wasn't that bad, but I don't think I'm going to use it that way for cleansing. Between all these toners, it's not amazing, but I understand why it appeals to so many people. It's pretty good."

"This is essentially a niacinamide toner, but with a mistake. They added fragrance, so this could have been excellent as a niacinamide toner, but they added an acid that you don't wear during the day and they added fragrance which you don't wear at all, which is such a shame because this is so beautiful. You can see that this would have done really well on social media, but I think it needs a bit of tweaking for skin of color."

"If you have any kind of pigmentation, this is a brightening toner so that's one option. Don't expect miracles but it's a good toner."

"I'm very very surprised by the fact that I'm enjoying this Anua Peach 77% Niacinamide Essence Toner. This is my second bottle because I did like their serum but as I mentioned I didn't use it much, it was nice, but the fragrance was just too much. However in this toner and their cream, the scent is still there but it doesn't linger like it does in the serum. So I don't know what they're doing differently there, but this also has alpha arbutin in and vitamin C, so you're really getting like a whole powerhouse of ingredients in this one toner. Again in the toner stage, so kind of allowing me to use whatever treatments I want next, still bearing in mind that you have vitamin C, alpha arbutin, and niacinamide in here."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
