Medi-Peel Aqua Essence Toner Peptide 9

It is a hydrating toner-essence that layers water-binding ingredients into the skin so it looks plumper and more supple. With a multi-peptide complex, four forms of hyaluronic acid, adenosine and collagen, it preps skin after cleansing and helps the face look smoother and feel firmer. A good hydration step for normal to mature skin at Beauty Bar.

It is a hybrid — a toner-essence. It has the fluid, watery feel of a toner but a richer, more concentrated hydrating profile closer to an essence. That means it does two jobs in one step: it preps the skin after cleansing and delivers a layer of lasting hydration, so you can simplify your routine if you like.

Use it right after cleansing, before serums and moisturiser. Pour a little into your palms or onto a cotton pad and press it gently over the face and neck. Because it is a toner-essence, you can pat on a second layer where skin feels driest. Follow with your serum, moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen.

Yes. It is designed for daily use, morning and evening, as your first hydrating step after cleansing. Its lightweight, watery texture layers well under the rest of your routine at either time of day. If your skin is sensitive or new to peptide products, start once daily and build up as it settles.

The name refers to the multi-peptide complex in the formula — peptides are amino-acid chains widely used in Korean skincare for their association with firmer, smoother-looking skin. Here they are paired with adenosine, collagen and several forms of hyaluronic acid, a combination chosen to support the appearance of hydrated, supple skin as part of a daily routine.

It is a strong hydrating step, but it works best layered — press it on after cleansing, then follow with a serum and moisturiser to seal in the hydration. On its own it leaves skin feeling refreshed and plumped, but dry or mature skin will feel most comfortable when it is followed by a richer cream on top.

Yes, this formula contains fragrance, so if your skin is very sensitive or reactive, patch test on the inner arm before applying to the face. Most skin types tolerate it well as a rinse-free hydrating step, but anyone prone to fragrance sensitivity should introduce it gradually and stop use if any irritation appears.
