Farmstay Cica Farm Regenerating Solution Toner

It's a hydrating, calming toner used after cleansing. It wipes away any last residue and layers moisture back in, while centella asiatica and panthenol help skin feel calm and niacinamide works on the look of uneven tone. It leaves the complexion soft, comfortable and prepped, so the serum and moisturiser that follow absorb more evenly.

Either works. For a light exfoliating swipe, apply it to a cotton pad and wipe gently over the face after cleansing. To layer maximum hydration, press it in with clean hands instead, patting until absorbed. Use it morning and evening after cleansing, then follow with serum and moisturiser. Finish with sunscreen in the daytime.

Yes — it includes betaine salicylate, a gentle BHA, low in the formula. It's not a strong exfoliating toner; the acid simply helps skin feel fresh and keeps the look of pores clear as part of a daily-use toner. If you want dedicated exfoliation, use a separate leave-on BHA a few times a week rather than relying on this.

Its centella, panthenol and allantoin focus makes it a comfortable choice for skin that reddens easily, and the BHA level is low. It does contain fragrance, so patch test first if you're reactive. If your skin is very sensitive, press it in with your hands rather than wiping with a pad to keep the application extra gentle.

"Cica" refers to Centella Asiatica, a botanical known for calming and soothing the look of skin. This toner contains centella asiatica extract along with its compounds — madecassic acid, asiaticoside and asiatic acid — plus soothing botanicals. As a leave-on toner it gives the centella time on the skin, supporting the calm, comfortable finish it's known for.

Straight after cleansing, before serum and moisturiser. Cleanser removes the day; this toner rebalances and rehydrates the skin so everything applied next sits and absorbs better. In a fuller routine the order is cleanser, toner, ampoule or serum, moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning. This toner slots in as that essential second step.

Yes — it's designed to sit within the Regenerating Solution range. Cleanse, apply this toner, then layer the Recovery or Blemish Clear ampoule, the emulsion or cream, and sunscreen by day. The shared centella base means the steps complement each other, though you don't need the whole line for it to work in your existing routine.

Niacinamide sits high in the formula and is valued for supporting an even-looking tone and a balanced, comfortable feel. In a daily toner it's applied across the whole face morning and evening, so it's a steady, gentle way to work on the appearance of uneven tone and post-blemish marks alongside the toner's soothing, hydrating job.
