EQQUALBERRY Daily Peeling Swimming Pool Toner is a watery hydrating toner with protease, an enzyme that gently loosens dead skin cells, plus panthenol, betaine, sodium hyaluronate and a berry blend. It leaves skin feeling smoother, fresher and hydrated, and preps it for the rest of your routine.

What it does

Protease breaks down the bonds that hold dull surface cells, so they lift away more easily without an acid. Panthenol, betaine, sodium hyaluronate and beta-glucan hydrate, allantoin adds comfort, and acai, cranberry, elderberry, blackberry, blueberry and raspberry extracts bring antioxidant support.

Why we chose it

We chose it as a daily smoothing toner for skin that finds acid toners too much: it exfoliates with an enzyme, protease, rather than AHA, BHA or PHA, and our box lists 22 ingredients with no fragrance.

Best for

  • Dull or rough-feeling skin
  • Skin that finds acid toners too much
  • Dehydrated skin that wants a watery hydration layer
  • A smoother, clearer-looking surface
  • A daily prep step before serum

Not ideal if

Key ingredients

  • Protease: a gentle enzyme exfoliant
  • Panthenol and betaine: hydration and comfort
  • Sodium hyaluronate and beta-glucan: hydration
  • Allantoin: soothing comfort
  • Acai, cranberry, elderberry and other berry extracts: antioxidant support

Texture and finish

A light, watery toner that absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky film.

Where it goes in your routine

After cleansing, morning and evening. Soak a cotton pad and wipe gently over the face and neck two or three times, or pat a small amount in with your hands. For extra hydration, leave a soaked pad on dry areas for 10 minutes. Follow with serum and moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning.

What to expect

Skin feels hydrated and smoother straight away. A brighter, more even texture builds gradually with regular use.

  • Use after cleansing, morning and evening.
  • Apply a small amount with a cotton pad or your hands, as the box directs, and let it absorb.
  • For extra hydration, leave a soaked pad on dry areas for 10 minutes. (Pending: keep only if the top of our box directions confirms it; see Flags.)
  • On nights you use a retinoid or an acid serum, skip it or switch to a hydrating toner, so you keep to one exfoliating step.
  • Follow with serum and moisturiser, and sunscreen in the morning: exfoliated skin needs daily sun protection.
  • Patch test first if your skin is reactive, and stop if it stings or turns red, as the box cautions.

Good to know

  • Exfoliates with an enzyme (protease), not an acid
  • No fragrance or essential oils in the listed ingredients
  • Contains fruit extracts (acai and berries)
  • Use sunscreen by day when exfoliating
  • For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If any adverse reaction occurs, stop using the product, and speak to your doctor if it persists.

Does it contain acids?

No. Our box lists no AHA, BHA or PHA. It exfoliates with protease, an enzyme that helps loosen dull surface cells. It is still an exfoliating step, so treat it as one in your routine.

Can I use it with retinal or an acid serum?

Carefully. It works best as your only exfoliating step. On nights you use a retinoid or an acid, skip it or use a hydrating toner instead, and use it on the other days.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It depends on your skin. There are no acids, fragrance or essential oils on our box, and it is sold as a gentle daily exfoliating toner. An enzyme still exfoliates, though, so patch test first and start with once a day if your skin is very reactive.

Will it help with pores?

It can help the surface look smoother and pores look clearer, because it loosens the dull, rough build-up that makes them more noticeable. It will not change the size of your pores.

Is it hydrating as well?

Yes. Panthenol, betaine, sodium hyaluronate and beta-glucan are all on our box, so it doubles as a watery hydration layer. If you only want hydration with no exfoliating ingredient, Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner is the one we would choose.
