Product Description
The Cosrx Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner is a toner to recover and rejuvenate weakened and tired skin. Free of irritants such as parabens and artificial colors, it consists of centella asiatica leaf water to increase elasticity and hydration
Made in Korea, COSRX is famed for their affordable and effective products. COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner is my very first product from the brand and I have to admit that my original intention was to get Galactomyces Alcohol-Free Toner but I grabbed the wrong product by mistake in Aland, Seoul.
COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner comes in a 150ml bottle with a spray nozzle that dispenses just the right amount of toner onto my skin, without feeling like I am drenched. I love the convenience of a toner spray that soothes and calms the skin with current hot favourite ingredient Centella Asiatica Leaf Water.
This toner is highly concentrated with 10% Centella Asiatica and 82% Jeju Mineral Water as well as skin friendly plants extracts and calming botanical ingredients to provide relief for irritated and sensitive stressed-out skin while replenishing lost moisture. It is also suitable for sensitive skin.
I did not detect any fragrance in the product which is great and I also like the fact that it consists of only 9 ingredients. I use COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner day and night, just before my serum and moisturiser application and it always feel very soothing and calming on skin.
As noted by skincare guru, Paula Begoun, Centella Asiatica
contains active compounds, including madecassoside, which serves as an antioxidant. With potent antioxidant properties and rich source of amino acids, it is a good hydrating ingredient to soothe upset or compromised skin. It also helps to mitigate some of the visible effects of sun damage, plus there’s evidence that it can help revitalize skin’s protective barrier.
According to research study here, Centella Asiatica (Gotu kola) is effective in improving treatment of small wounds, hypertrophic wounds as well as burns, psoriasis and scleroderma. The mechanism of action involves promoting fibroblast proliferation and increasing the synthesis of collagen and intracellular fibronectin content and also improvement of the tensile strength of newly formed skin as well as inhibiting the inflammatory phase of hypertrophic scars and keloids. Research results indicate that it can be used in the treatment of photoaging skin, cellulite and striae.
In view of all these, I believe COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner would be good for those
- who has a constant battle with redness on their skin
- who has sensitive skin which turns red easily
- who is looking to fight inflammation and scarring caused by acne
