Take the skin testRevitalize and hydrate your skin with Dr. Althea Anastatica Skin Conditioning Toner, a natural, light toner infused with 85% Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract, also known as the "Rose of Jericho." This remarkable plant can revive itself with just a drop of water, and similarly, this toner breathes life into tired, dry, and irritated skin. Formulated with 10 layers of Hyaluronic Acid, it deeply penetrates to boost hydration, elasticity, and moisture retention. The low pH formula maintains skin balance, while its vegan, cruelty-free composition, using only EWG Green Grade ingredients, makes it ideal for sensitive skin.
Anastatica Skin Conditioning Toner is a watery-light toner from Dr. Althea, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 24 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as very light — essentially a water-and-humectant base with little emollient weight. With almost no emollient load it should absorb quickly and finish close to matte. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate and Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Allantoin, Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Adansonia Digitata Seed Extract.
On richness alone it suits Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
