The Read
Hydration is the step most routines skip.
What it is
A rose-water hydrating toner.
Hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA carried in rose water — a light, water-only step after cleansing.
Why it works
Rebalance, then draw moisture in.
Cleansing pushes skin's pH up; hyaluronic acid pulls water back into the surface and holds it for the serums that follow.
How to use
Press in on damp skin.
Morning and night, with hands or a cotton round. A toner hydrates but doesn't seal — follow with a moisturiser while skin is still damp, or the water you drew in will leave.
The proof

Every claim pinned to its source.
