Is Supple Preparation Cica Toner Right for You? Who It’s For — and Who Should Skip It

Here's an honest look at the Supple Preparation Cica Toner — a newer, separate formula from our Supple Preparation Unscented Toner.

What it is, in one minute

• A lightweight first-step toner (180 mL).
• What's inside: cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) water, trehalose, centella, sodium DNA (PDRN), ceramide NP, cholesterol, phytosphingosine, panthenol, squalane, a little olive oil and shea butter, and gluconolactone (a gentle PHA).
• No fragrance or essential oils listed; it contains several plant extracts.

It's a good fit if…

• Your skin feels tight after cleansing and you like a toner with a touch of comfort.
• You want cica and barrier lipids in your first step.
• You're curious about newer cica ingredients (see what are cica exosomes?).

Skip it — or pair it — if…

• You want our simplest, established fragrance-free toner — choose the Supple Preparation Unscented Toner (see Cica vs Unscented).
• Your skin is very oily and dislikes any oil in a toner.
• You react to plant extracts — patch test first.

How to use it

1. After cleansing, dispense into your palms or onto a cotton pad.
2. Press or sweep over the face and pat until absorbed.
3. Layer once more on dry areas, then serum and moisturizer.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Cica Toner and the Unscented Toner?

They're separate formulas. The Cica Toner adds centella, PDRN and barrier lipids with a cypress-water base; the Unscented Toner is our established, simple fragrance-free hydrating toner.

Is Supple Preparation Cica Toner fragrance-free?

No fragrance or essential oil is listed, but it contains several plant extracts.

Does it exfoliate?

It contains a small amount of gluconolactone, a gentle PHA, but it's designed as a hydrating toner, not an exfoliant.

Can oily skin use it?

Yes, though very oily skin may prefer a toner without oils.
