APLB Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide HA B5 Facial Toner is a hydrating toner with 20.8% centella asiatica extract, panthenol (5,000 ppm), sodium hyaluronate and ceramide NP (APLB's HA B5 complex). It helps dry, tight or sensitised skin feel calmer, plumper and more comfortable, and preps a dewy base for serum.
What it does
This is a hydrating toner first. After water, our box lists centella asiatica leaf water, then glycerin, hydroxyethyl urea and panthenol, which draw water into the skin. Sodium hyaluronate, ceramide NP and squalane come later in the list: they add to the comfort, but we would not buy this as a ceramide or hyaluronic acid treatment. Allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate and centella compounds (asiaticoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid) are there to help skin feel calm.
Why we chose it
A good-value 160 ml toner that puts hydration and barrier comfort first, with no fragrance or essential oils in the listed ingredients. It layers well under SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule.
Best for
- Dry, dehydrated or tight-feeling skin
- Sensitive skin that looks red or feels stressed
- Skin over-treated by retinoids or acids
- Toner layering on dry days
Not ideal if
- You avoid animal-derived ingredients: it contains hydrolyzed collagen. Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner carries Vegan and PETA Approved marks
- You react to tea tree: it contains tea tree leaf extract (not the essential oil)
Key ingredients
- Centella asiatica extract (20.8%): comfort and calm
- Panthenol (5,000 ppm): hydration and comfort
- Sodium hyaluronate and hydroxyethyl urea: hydration
- Ceramide NP and squalane: help hold moisture in
- Allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate: soothing
Texture and finish
A watery liquid that sinks in quickly and leaves skin soft rather than sticky.
Where it goes in your routine
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening. Apply with your hands or a cotton pad, and add a second layer on dry days. Follow with serum, moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen.
What to expect
Skin feels hydrated and comfortable from the first use. A calmer, less reactive feel builds gradually with steady use and a gentle routine.
Quick facts: 160 ml · 20.8% centella, panthenol, ceramide NP · No fragrance listed · AM and PM · APLB, made in Korea
- Straight after cleansing, morning and evening.
- Apply with your hands or a cotton pad, whichever you prefer.
- On dry days, add a second layer once the first has sunk in.
- Follow with serum and moisturiser. It hydrates, but it does not replace a moisturiser for dry skin.
- It contains no retinoid or exfoliating acid, so it suits nights you use retinal or acids as a simple hydrating step.
- In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Good to know
- No fragrance and no essential oils in the listed ingredients
- Animal-derived: hydrolyzed collagen (source not stated). Not vegan
- Contains tea tree leaf extract
- No retinoid and no exfoliating acids
Is this a ceramide or hyaluronic acid treatment?
No. Despite the name, it is a hydrating toner first. Glycerin, hydroxyethyl urea and panthenol come early in the list; sodium hyaluronate and ceramide NP are further down and add to the comfort.
Will it suit oily skin?
It can. It is a watery toner that sinks in quickly and leaves skin soft rather than sticky, so it works for oily skin that still feels tight or dehydrated. If you want shine control, this is not what it is for.
My skin is sensitive. Is the tea tree a problem?
It contains tea tree leaf extract, not tea tree essential oil, and no fragrance or essential oils are listed. If you already know your skin reacts to tea tree, choose a different toner.
Does it exfoliate?
No. There is no AHA, BHA or PHA. The citric acid and sodium citrate are there to adjust the pH.
Is it vegan?
No. It contains hydrolysed collagen, which is animal-derived (source not stated). Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner carries Vegan and PETA Approved marks if you would rather avoid it.
