For: Oily & Congested Skin
Ingredient logic first: artemisia, PHA and LHA, chosen for the mechanism behind the look of congestion.
Congested skin builds up slowly: excess oil, a dull surface and enlarged pores. Harsh scrubs make it red; gentle daily exfoliation works better.
SANTE Aka Toner · 500ml
An artemisia-based toner with gluconolactone (PHA), capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA) and fruit extracts.
Artemisia capillaris extract replaces water as the first ingredient. Gluconolactone (a PHA), capryloyl salicylic acid (an LHA) and willow bark offer gentle surface exfoliation, with papaya and pineapple fruit extracts, panthenol, allantoin and sodium hyaluronate. The 500ml size suits facial rooms and pad use. Selected by our in-house pharmacist after a full ingredient review.
What You Feel First

Skin feels fresh, clean and smooth.
Next Morning

The Concern We Hear Most
"Will an exfoliating toner irritate my skin?"
PHA and LHA are among the gentler exfoliating acids, and here they sit in an artemisia base with panthenol and allantoin. Start once a day. Bitter orange flower oil and mentha arvensis leaf oil appear near the end of the list, so patch test if you are sensitive to essential oils, and use SPF during the day.

The Ingredients Behind It
Artemisia Capillaris
Used as the base in place of water; artemisia is a staple of Korean skincare for calming the look of skin.
PHA & LHA
Gluconolactone and capryloyl salicylic acid, gentler exfoliating acids for a smoother surface.
Willow Bark & Fruit Extracts
Salix alba bark with papaya and pineapple fruit extracts support a clearer complexion.
Panthenol, Allantoin & Hyaluronic Acid
Keep skin comfortable and hydrated alongside the exfoliating ingredients.
Skin Type Fit
More Than a Toner
The 500ml size is built for professional use: soak pads for a pre-mask step in a facial for oily skin. At home, use it as a daily toner or a short pad mask on the T-zone.
Gentle daily exfoliation for oily, congested skin.
Why Our Pharmacist Chose This
"PHA and LHA are sensible daily choices for oily skin: gentler than strong AHAs, in an artemisia base that keeps things calm."
— Our In-House Pharmacist
