Key Benefits of Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner:
 

Slight Moisturizing When Used Alone

According to CreamScan analysis, Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner is slightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 0.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product is purely humectant, but with a low Humectancy of 0.3 out of 10. It has zero Occlusivity as we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list.

This type of product provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to overall moisturizing efficacy when used as part of a skincare routine, alongside another moisturizer.

Tip: Certain studies suggest that humectants alone may not effectively moisturize the skin. If you use this product as your only moisturizer, we recommend following it with one that contains at least some occlusive ingredients.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.
