A hydrating toner built around Acidum Lacticum — lactic acid — the ingredient the brand names as the key one in this formula. Tartaric acid is on the INCI list as well; both belong to the AHA group and both work as a liquid, with no grains and no rubbing. Alongside them the formula holds nettle leaf extract (Urtica dioica) on a light water base. 200 ml, for daily use.
Conventional toners often lean on alcohol, and alcohol is what makes skin feel tight afterwards. This toner takes the opposite route: an alcohol-free, water-based formula, applied on a cotton pad morning and evening. It absorbs quickly and leaves neither stickiness nor a film, so the serum and the moisturiser that follow go on as usual.
Its place in a routine is step two, straight after cleansing: soak a cotton pad, sweep it across the skin, let it absorb, then carry on with serum and cream. The tonic prepares the skin for the care that follows — that is what it is for, and it is not a replacement for a moisturiser.
Suitable for daily use, morning and evening. Listed for normal, combination, oily, blemish-prone and mature skin. It contains parfum and the declared fragrance allergens benzyl salicylate, coumarin, linalool and hexyl cinnamal — if your skin reacts to fragrance, choose a fragrance-free formula.
Acidum Lacticum (Lactic Acid)

The second step: moisture, not alcohol
After cleansing the skin is ready to take something in — and that is where Hydra Tonic sits. Lactic and tartaric acid on a water base, plus nettle extract. No alcohol. For normal, combination, oily, blemish-prone and mature skin.
Formulated without alcohol
The full INCI list holds no alcohol — and that is where face toners differ from one another most clearly. Hydra Tonic works on a water base.
Lactic and tartaric acid
The formula names Acidum Lacticum, lactic acid, as its active; tartaric acid is in the list as well. Both are AHAs — and both work as a liquid, with no grains and no rubbing.
On a cotton pad, morning and evening
After cleansing, soak a cotton pad, sweep it across the face and let it absorb. Serum and moisturiser follow. Twice a day, morning and evening — as the second step of the routine.
An in-between step, not a replacement
The toner prepares the skin for the care that follows. No more than that — and no less: serum and cream keep their place afterwards, and without them the routine stays unfinished.

About UsGood to know
- How often can I use it?
- Daily, morning and evening. It is the second step: after cleansing, before serum and moisturiser. Let it absorb for a moment, then carry on as usual.
- Does it replace my moisturiser?
- No. Hydra Tonic is an in-between step, not a cream — it prepares the skin for what comes next. Apply nothing after it and the routine stays unfinished.
- How is it different from the AHA Exfoliating Toner?
- The AHA Exfoliating Toner works with glycolic acid and is the exfoliating step for the evening. Hydra Tonic is built on lactic and tartaric acid and is meant for daily use, morning and evening. Both bottles hold 200 ml and look almost identical — the difference is on the label.
- Does it contain fragrance?
- Yes. Alongside parfum, the INCI list holds Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Linalool and Hexyl Cinnamal — declarable fragrance allergens. There is no alcohol in it. If your skin reacts to fragrance, a fragrance-free formula is the better choice.
