| Verdict | The toner Anua fans have been asking for — 77% peach extract + niacinamide + ceramides + a whisper of BHA in a hybrid essence-toner that lives somewhere between a hydrating toner and a brightening essence. Pairs naturally with the Peach 70% Niacinamide Serum that we already carry; together they make Anua's most complete brightening sub-routine. The peach extract isn't gimmick — there's genuine evidence that peach fermentation byproducts work as gentle exfoliants and tone-eveners. Particularly good for combination skin chasing glass-skin glow without committing to a stronger acid routine. | This is the toner that made Isntree a cult favorite, and it earns every bit of its reputation. Four molecular weights of hyaluronic acid deliver hydration at multiple skin depths, while ceramides and panthenol reinforce the moisture barrier. The texture has a satisfying, gel-like slip without any stickiness. At $16 for 400ml, the value proposition is absurd — you're getting a genuinely excellent hydrating toner at a price that larger brands should find embarrassing. |
