Dealing with skin that feels tight, flaky, or looks dull can be frustrating. This milky toner is formulated to provide immediate comfort and long-term barrier support, helping your skin feel plump and hydrated.

• Core Function: Deeply hydrates and nourishes, strengthens the skin's moisture barrier, and gently brightens the complexion.
• Texture & Finish: A rich, milky liquid that feels more substantial than a watery toner. It absorbs beautifully to leave a dewy, glowing finish without feeling heavy or sticky.
• Best For: Dry, Dehydrated, Combination, and Normal skin types. It's particularly beneficial for skin compromised by air-conditioning or Mauritius's drier winter months.
• Not Ideal For: May be too rich for very oily skin types during peak summer humidity.

Use this toner to add a powerful layer of hydration right after cleansing.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Anua Rice Milky Toner: Pour a small amount into your palms and gently pat onto your face and neck.
3. Protect: Follow with your favourite moisturiser (PM) or a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 (AM).

Mindful Tip: Already using a hydrating toner you like? Finish it first before opening this one. Substitute, don't stack similar products. This 40ml size is perfect for trying the product or for travel.

This toner helps create a hydrated, glowing base for the day.

• Minimalist Routine: 1) Cleanser → 2) Anua Rice Milky Toner → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+). If your sunscreen is not very moisturising, you can add a light moisturiser before your SPF.
• Optional Additions: For extra antioxidant protection or to target spots, you can apply a Vitamin C serum after the toner and before your moisturiser/sunscreen.
• Wait Times: Allow the toner to absorb for about 30-60 seconds before applying your next step. Wait 1-2 minutes after your moisturiser before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.

At night, this toner helps replenish moisture and support your skin's repair processes.

• Minimalist Routine: 1) Double Cleanse (if wearing makeup/sunscreen: Oil Cleanser → Water-based Cleanser) → 2) Anua Rice Milky Toner → 3) Moisturiser.
• Optional Additions: You can incorporate a targeted treatment serum (like a retinoid or peptide serum) after the toner and before your moisturiser. On nights you use a separate chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA), apply it after cleansing and before this toner.
• Application Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to the thickest texture.

This toner can be used in multiple ways depending on your skin's needs.

• Amount: Pour a quantity about the size of a small coin into your palm.
• Method 1 (Daily Hydration): After cleansing, gently pat the toner onto your face and neck until absorbed. This can be done AM and PM.
• Method 2 (Toner Mask): For an intensive hydration boost, soak a few thin cotton pads with the toner and place them on dry areas (like cheeks or forehead) for 5-10 minutes. Remove and pat in the remaining essence.
• Frequency: Start once daily (e.g., in the PM) to see how your skin responds. If well-tolerated, increase to twice daily (AM and PM).

If-This, Then-That:

• If your skin is very dry: Apply 2-3 layers of the toner, patting each one in before the next. Follow with a rich cream to seal in the moisture.
• If you're in an air-conditioned office all day: This toner is excellent for combating the drying effects of AC. Use it in your morning routine to fortify your skin's barrier.
• If your skin is sensitive: The fragrance-free formula is gentle, but always patch test first. The ceramides will help strengthen your skin's resilience over time.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly softer, more hydrated, and soothed. Tightness and dryness are reduced, and skin has a subtle, healthy glow.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, your skin's moisture barrier becomes stronger. You may notice less sensitivity, reduced flakiness, and a plumper skin texture.
• Within 4-8+ Weeks: The brightening effects of Rice Extract and Niacinamide become more visible. Skin tone appears more even, and the overall complexion looks healthier and more radiant.

Individual results vary. Consistent use, especially alongside daily sunscreen, is key to achieving the best results.

• Myth: "If my skin is dry, I just need one thick, heavy cream."
• Evidence-Based Alternative: This is less effective than layering hydration. A thick cream on dry skin can seal in dryness. It's better to first add water-based hydration deep into the skin with a product like this milky toner, and *then* seal it with a cream. This toner acts as the foundational hydrating step, making your final moisturiser work much more effectively.

This toner is designed to be a gentle, supportive layer in almost any routine.

• Works Well With:
  • Vitamin C: Can be applied after this toner to provide a hydrating buffer, potentially reducing the tingling sensation from L-Ascorbic Acid.
  • Retinoids (Retinol/Retinal): An excellent product to use before your retinoid to hydrate the skin and minimize potential irritation and dryness.
  • Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA): Use this toner after your acid step to replenish moisture and soothe the skin.
  • Niacinamide & Peptides: Layers perfectly with other barrier-supporting and anti-aging ingredients.
• Use With Caution: No major conflicts are known. Its primary role is to hydrate and soothe, making it a compatible partner for most active ingredients.

• Excellent For: Dry, Dehydrated, and Normal skin types that need a boost of moisture and barrier support.
• Good For: Combination skin, especially on drier cheeks or during less humid months. Also suitable for Sensitive skin due to its gentle, fragrance-free formula.
• Use With Caution: Very Oily and Acne-Prone skin types may find this toner a bit too nourishing for daily use in Mauritius's summer humidity. It is best used at night or reserved for drier periods for these skin types.

This product is formulated to be gentle, but we always recommend a patch test before first use.

• Who Should Use With Caution: While suitable for most, individuals with a known sensitivity to fermented ingredients or a history of fungal acne should patch test carefully.
• Patch Test Protocol: Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product.
• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A lightweight, milky liquid that spreads easily and feels comforting on the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs to leave a hydrated, dewy glow. It does not feel greasy or heavy.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but expected to be in the mildly acidic range of 5.5 - 6.5, which is optimal for skin health.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Triethylhexanoin and Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, which may be potential triggers for those with Malassezia folliculitis. Patch testing is strongly advised if you are prone to fungal acne. Individual responses can vary.

• Issue: The toner feels a bit sticky after application.
  • Solution: You may be using too much product. Try applying a smaller amount to slightly damp skin, which can help with absorption and reduce any tacky feeling.
• Issue: I'm breaking out after starting this toner.
  • Solution: Stop using the product and allow your skin to calm down. This toner is nourishing and may be too rich for very oily or acne-prone skin. It also contains ingredients that are not considered "fungal acne-safe," which could be a trigger for some.

This toner's rich, hydrating texture makes it uniquely suited for certain conditions in Mauritius.

• During Drier 'Winter' Months (June-September): An excellent choice for all skin types to combat the drier air. It provides an essential layer of moisture to prevent dehydration.
• During Humid Summer Months (November-April):
  • For Dry/Normal Skin, it can be used day and night as a hydrating toner.
  • For Combination Skin, it may be best used at night or focused only on drier areas like the cheeks.
  • For Oily Skin, this might feel too heavy for daytime use. It could serve as a lightweight nighttime moisturiser on its own.
• For Air-Conditioned Environments: If you work or sleep in AC, your skin is losing moisture. This toner is perfect for replenishing that lost hydration and strengthening your skin's barrier against the dry air.

• Fair Caveat: Some users with very oily skin found it too rich for daytime use in humid weather. An Amazon customer review (2024-06) noted, "I love it for my nighttime routine, but it's a bit too dewy for me under makeup during the day."

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality skincare that is effective and safe. We carefully curate our selection of K-beauty products, ensuring that every item is sourced directly from official brands or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We believe in transparency, education, and mindful consumption, helping you build a routine that works for your skin and your values.

1. Is this toner suitable for oily skin?
   For very oily skin, this toner may feel too rich, especially during Mauritius's hot and humid summer. We recommend using it at night or opting for a lighter, more watery toner like the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner for daytime use.
2. How is a "milky toner" different from a regular watery toner?
   A milky toner has a richer, more viscous texture due to a higher concentration of moisturising and emollient ingredients. It provides more nourishment and barrier support than a typical watery toner, making it feel like a hybrid between a toner and a light moisturiser.
3. Can I use this with my Vitamin C or Retinol serum?
   Yes, absolutely. This toner is an excellent buffer product. Its hydrating and soothing properties can help prepare the skin for active ingredients and potentially reduce the irritation sometimes associated with Vitamin C or retinoids. Apply the toner first, let it absorb, and then apply your active serum.
4. Is it fungal acne safe?
   This product contains ingredients that are not considered strictly "fungal acne-safe" and could potentially be a trigger for some individuals. If you are prone to Malassezia folliculitis, we strongly recommend patch testing this product on a small area before applying it to your full face.

The Anua Rice Milky Toner is a beautifully formulated product that delivers on its promise of deep hydration and barrier support. Its comforting texture and gentle ingredients make it a standout choice for anyone with dry, dehydrated, or compromised skin.

• Best For: Individuals with dry, normal, combination, or sensitive skin looking for intense hydration and a healthy glow.
• Key Benefits: Immediately relieves dryness and tightness, strengthens the skin barrier over time, and gently brightens for a more even complexion.
• Keep in Mind: It may be too nourishing for very oily skin types in high humidity. It is also not strictly fungal acne-safe, so a patch test is recommended for those with this concern. This 40ml size is a great way to test the formula before committing to the full size.
