Toner Serum Hybrid

2-in-1 Toner Serum for Combination, Oily and Acne-Prone Skin

One step. Two jobs. No stripping.

RM88

Small-batch · Crafted in KL by Tracy

This isn't the astringent toner that left your skin tight in your twenties. Alcohol-free witch hazel refines the look of pores without the strip, hyaluronic acid holds hydration, and calendula calms redness — the first step after cleansing that resets your skin's pH and preps it to absorb what comes next. It also carries 4% niacinamide — the highest dose in our range, double what sits in HydraShield. That's deliberate. Combination skin is working against two problems at once, oil and uneven tone, so it needs the heavier dose to help strengthen the barrier while it refines the look of pores.

Why you need it

Which is the real argument for it: this is a toner and a serum in one bottle. You're not adding a step to your routine — you're collapsing two of them, at a higher active dose than either would give you separately. The step it plays: first after cleansing, before your serum. Helps with: oily-dry combination skin, visible pores, uneven tone.

Key benefits

The formulation

What's in it and why

Witch hazel provides the toning action without the alcohol harshness of conventional toners — it tightens and clarifies without stripping. Niacinamide targets pore appearance and sebum regulation. Zinc PCA controls oiliness at the source. Licorice root extract calms visible redness and helps even skin tone over time. Panthenol soothes post-cleanse sensitivity while supporting moisture retention. The formula sits at a slightly acidic pH to restore the acid mantle that cleansing disrupts — so by the time you apply anything else, your skin is in optimal condition to receive it. Light enough to feel like a toner. Active enough to do the work of a serum.

This is for you if

  • Your skin is oily, combination, or acne-prone
  • Your current toner leaves skin tight, dry, or stripped
  • You want to simplify your routine without losing effectiveness
  • You want to target pore size, sebum balance, and uneven tone in one step

May not suit you if

  • Your skin is dry and needs lipid replenishment rather than toning
  • You have skin sensitive to actives like niacinamide

What customers say

I replaced two products with this and my skin improved immediately. The pores on my nose are noticeably smaller after 6 weeks. I'm not stopping.

Yusra B. · Kuala Lumpur

Oily skin, enlarged pores

This is the first toner that doesn't make my skin feel tight or stripped. It feels like prep rather than punishment. My serum goes on so much better after.

D

Danial H. · Shah Alam

Combination skin

I was spending a lot on a separate toner and serum. This does both and works better. My skin is less reactive, less oily, and clearer than it's been in years.

The formulation

Why it works

Waterless

No water means every millilitre is active ingredient. No dilution. No preservatives to fight contamination from water.

8-week infusion

Plant compounds need time to fully transfer. We slow-infuse for 8 weeks — not hours — so the concentration is something you can feel.

Steroid-free always

No steroids. No synthetic fragrance. No ingredients your skin has to fight. Just botanicals doing what they were made to do.
