What the gurus are saying

Reach for it when your skin stings: this toner instantly cools irritated, breakout-prone skin, and the gurus say it's especially welcome alongside a retinoid. It's light enough for oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin that finds creams and serums heavy, and it helps repair the skin barrier. The surprise is the extra: it's not a plain hydrating toner, with six anti-aging peptides in the mix.

    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.

    Source: DermNet

    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.

    Peptides

    Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
