WHY WE LOVE IT:
It's a hydrating step that felt more like a treatment than a basic toner. It’s a liquid lotion toner that’s meant to boost hydration, strengthen the moisture barrier, and stabilize skin’s pH, while also helping even texture and soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
What it feels like
It has that “hybrid” toner texture—more substantial than water, but still lightweight. It sinks in fast and makes skin feel instantly softer and more cushioned.
Because it uses Micro-Spicule technology, it’s designed to penetrate deeply. (It’s also a high-performance formula, so if you’re very sensitive, it’s smart to introduce slowly.)
Ingredient highlights (and why they matter)
Micro-Spicules (deep delivery + efficacy)
This toner contains approximately 1,800,000 Micro-Spicules (microscopic needle-like structures).
- Micro-Spicules help drive and release active ingredients deeper into the skin, which is why this toner is positioned to do more than surface hydration—supporting texture refinement and the look of lines.
Bakuchiol (retinol-like firming, gentler vibe)
-
Delivers retinol-like benefits—helping to visibly firm and reduce the look of lines—without the same “classic retinol” feel.
-
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived, natural ingredient extracted from Psoralea corylifolia (babchi) seeds, widely used in skincare as a gentle, non-irritating alternative to retinol. It provides anti-aging benefits, including reducing fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and treating acne, while being suitable for sensitive skin. Unlike retinol, it is generally stable in sunlight.
3 types of Ceramide (barrier support + plump hydration)
-
Ceramides help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and improve moisture retention, which translates to skin that feels plumper, more comfortable, and less prone to that tight, dry feeling.
- It is important to use facial moisturizers with ceramides to help repair your skin's barrier as your skin is exposed to free radicals and toxins throughout the day.
Moist-Circle Complex (hydration boost + barrier maintenance)
This complex combines:
-
Life Everlasting Flower: Helps boost hydration.
-
Maple Water: Designed to hydrate quickly and deeply due to its small molecules.
-
White Peony: Helps maintain and strengthen the skin moisture barrier.
-
Benefit: Together, these support that “long-lasting hydration” effect—skin feels hydrated now, but also stays more stable and comfortable over time.
Needle Lift Signature Blend (the “treatment” part)
Golden Needle Complex (plump + tighten + firm)
Micro-spicules containing 24K Gold Colloid plus 5 botanical extracts.
-
Supports a more plumped, tightened, and firmer-looking finish—especially helpful when skin looks a bit tired or less elastic.
3 types of Hyaluronic Acid (long-lasting hydration)
-
Helps attract and hold water for penetrative, long-lasting hydration, which also supports smoother-looking texture.
3 types of Collagen (softness + bounce)
-
Helps skin appear soft, cushioned, and plump.
Sacrum (moisture veil + supports absorption)
-
Creates a veil of moisture to support the absorption of other actives while keeping skin feeling soft and comfortable.
- Aphanothece Sacrum (often referred to as Sacran) is a rare, highly effective moisturizing polysaccharide derived from Japanese algae, used in premium skincare for its superior water retention—reportedly superior to hyaluronic acid. It acts as an artificial barrier to protect skin from environmental damage, improves skin barrier function, and offers anti-inflammatory benefits for sensitive or dry skin.
Who it's best for
-
Anyone who wants a toner that does more than hydrate—especially for texture + fine lines
-
Skin that feels dry, tight, or easily dehydrated
-
People who want barrier support while still getting visible results
Final thoughts
If you like the idea of a toner that acts like a hybrid treatment—hydrating, barrier-supporting, and texture-refining—this one really stands out. It’s a great “prep” step that makes skin feel softer immediately, and it’s built to support firmer, smoother-looking skin with consistent use.
