MEDICUBE Kojic Acid Turmeric Resurfacing Toner 250ml

This is one of the more active toners on the market, and the ingredient ordering tells you so. The Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Resurfacing Toner lists niacinamide second and glycolic acid third, immediately after water, which is unusually high for an AHA in a daily toner.

Around them sit turmeric root extract, kojic acid, monascus extract and Gardenia florida fruit extract, with allantoin, panthenol and Ceramide NP helping keep skin comfortable and eight hyaluronic acid forms supporting hydration. The nozzle applicator is a practical detail: it lets you target specific areas rather than sweeping the whole face, which matters for a formula this active. Medicube positions it for face and body, including underarms, elbows and knees.

This suits normal, combination and oily skin. Because glycolic acid sits third, introduce it gradually, pair it with daily sunscreen, and do not start it on the same day as the matching serum. The formula also contains lavender and bergamot oils.
