| Verdict | Comfort Zone's Active Pureness Toner is one of the tightest INCI lists on the brand: 10 ingredients, fragrance-buffered with parfum but otherwise minimal. Gluconolactone (PHA) sits high for gentle pore exfoliation, arginine adds mild buffering, and mangosteen peel adds the antioxidant note. €36 for a tight PHA toner. | Comfort Zone's gateway to the Skin Regimen professional line. This microalgae-powered essence packs seven components of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) — sodium PCA, urea, betaine, glycine, lactic acid, sodium lactate — plus unicellular microalgae (Euglena gracilis) and maqui berry superfruit extract. 98.5% natural-origin ingredients. The toner that Italian spa therapists use as a treatment step, not just a prep step. |
