Description
Laneige Cream Skin Refiner + is a super hydrating toner that helps reinforce the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss.
This milky white toner has the viscosity of water but the hydrating properties of a cream.
It’s loved around the world for its exceptionally gentle yet effective ingredients.
The difference between the Laneige Cream Refiner + and the original version is the addition of Allantoin.
Why Laneige Cream Skin Refiner?
Laneige Cream Skin Refiner + allows you to strengthen your skin barrier and boost your skin hydration without having to use a thick or heavy cream.
This moisturising toner uses Micro-ionised Water, Glycerin, Allantoin, Green Tea Leaf Extract and Vitamin E to soothe and infuse the skin with much-need hydration.
It leaves your face feeling calm, moist and dewy for hours.
Use it in the morning helps create the perfect base for your makeup routine and at night to add weightless moisture.
Laneige claims the toner is as effective at hydrating as a cream moisturiser.
Laneige Cream Skin Refiner ingredients
The key ingredients are:
Micro-iononised Water to quickly and efficiently hydrate, helping the skin to feel comfortable and function at its best.
Glycerin is a wonderful humectant that delivers moisture to the top layers of the skin. Due to its low molecular weight (92 g/mol), it can penetrate deeper into the skin to deliver its benefits. It helps keep skin soft, smooth and hydrated.
Allantoin is a calming and soothing ingredient. Extracted from the root of the comfrey plant, it helps with redness, irritation and healing.
Green Leaf Tee Extract is soothing and calming. It’s rich in amino acids and antioxidants. And it helps strengthen the skin barrier and protect against oxidative stress.
Vitamin E has moisturising and antioxidant benefits. It’s also been found to improve visible hyperpigmentation when used at a concentration of 1%.
Benefits
- Skin is hydrated for up to 24 hours.
- Skin feels more comfortable and resilient.
- Skin looks more dewy and glowing.

Laneige Cream Skin Refiner Review
I love Laneige products. They are really amazing. This is definitely a must-have product. Such hydration and glow for dehydrated skin after only a few uses! A healthy and strong complexion without having to use many products in your daily routine.

Anna Marie –
Laneige Cream Skin Refiner + is a hydrating and repairing toner. It soothes and strengthens the skin, while also making it feel dewy for hours. I like the lightweight texture that makes it easy to apply before a serum or cream. And because there are no silicones, it doesn’t pill under other products. It absorbs well but can feel sticky if you over-apply it. There are no irritating ingredients, making it suitable for even the most sensitive among us. And there’s no fragrance to set off my overactive nose either. If you’re looking for a gentle toner that reinforces the skin barrier and adds hydration, you may find this one’s your jam.
