Japanese Toner & Lotion

In Japan a toner is called a lotion. It is a watery, hydrating layer that you pat into clean skin with your hands, right after cleansing. It does not strip the skin like an old-style toner. It adds moisture and helps the rest of your routine sink in. The best known are the Hada Labo Gokujyun lotions with several types of hyaluronic acid, the Melano CC Vitamin C lotions and the Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner.
