| Verdict | APLB's brightening toner — niacinamide + glutathione + sodium hyaluronate in a daily-use brightening prep step. APLB's approach to glutathione (the antioxidant tripeptide) in topical format gives the brand a distinctive ingredient story. Pairs with the broader APLB ampoule line (Glutathione Niacinamide Ampoule already in DB) for layered routines. | The Rice Toner is I'm From's bestseller and it deserves it. 77.78% rice extract from Yeoju, Korea provides genuine brightening and moisture. The milky texture feels more nourishing than a typical toner. One of the best brightening toners available at any price — and it works for sensitive skin too. |
