About the Product
Product Description
The [THE LAB by BLANC DOUX] Oligo Hyaluronic Acid Deep Toner challenges the misconception that "thicker" toners are more hydrating. This product is famous for its watery, lightweight texture that delivers heavier hydration than many creams.
The secret lies in the molecular size. Standard hyaluronic acid molecules are too large to penetrate the skin barrier, often sitting on top and feeling sticky. This toner uses Oligo Hyaluronic Acid, which has a molecular mass up to 200 times smaller than high-molecular variants. This allows the moisture to bypass the surface and sink deep into the skin layers, effectively treating "inner dryness" (that tight feeling beneath the surface). With a minimal ingredient list and a pH-balanced formula, it is the ultimate hydration reset for sensitive and dehydrated skin.
Key Features
- Deep Penetration: Uses low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (average 1,190 Da) for superior absorption.
- Clean Formula: Composed of minimal, EWG Green-grade ingredients to reduce irritation risk.
- Non-Sticky Finish: Absorbs instantly like water, leaving no tacky residue behind.
- Skin Cooling: Helps lower heated skin temperature upon application, soothing redness.
- Barrier Support: Hydrates from within to support a healthy moisture barrier.
