The category's best sellers below are scored with the same formula.
Our pick
A weakly-acidic hydrating toner pad layering eight hyaluronic-acid forms over glacier water in a dual-textured vegan pad, cleaner than acid- or alcohol-heavy rivals.

9.5
/ 10
Anua Heartleaf 77 Toner PadHeartleaf PHA dual-textured pad

Why it works
What this formula actually does
Built around hyaluronic acid (8-type complex) and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.
01
Eight-type hyaluronic hydration
Eight hyaluronic-acid molecular weights plus glacier water hydrate at the surface and deeper, beyond a single-HA pad.
02
Fragrance- and alcohol-free, low-irritation
35 of 36 ingredients screen low-risk at 9.7 / 10, with only gentle PHA-family acids and no added fragrance or alcohol.
03
Dual-textured, soothing pad
An embossed side sweeps rough texture and a smooth side presses in panthenol, allantoin and botanical soothers.

Our take
Most toner pads pick a lane: exfoliating acids, brightening vitamins, or plain hydration. This one commits fully to low-irritation moisture, layering eight hyaluronic-acid forms over glacier water in a fragrance- and alcohol-free pad. Best for anyone wanting daily, gentle hydration and light texture-smoothing without acids or alcohol. On tolerance and hydration breadth it clearly outdoes the acid- and alcohol-heavy pads it competes with, which is why it is our pick among hydrating pads.
Worth knowing
- A hydrator, not a treatmentIt focuses on moisture and comfort rather than strong exfoliation, brightening or anti-wrinkle correction.
- Essence can run if overusedThe pads are saturated with essence, so very saturated pads can drip; squeeze lightly before wiping.
