Does Madara Comforting toner work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Madara Comforting toner:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Madara Comforting toner contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Madara Comforting toner has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Betaine (est. ≈2.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Madara Comforting toner is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Centaurea Cyanus Flower Water (est. ≈4.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
