Every great ritual begins with the right foundation.

The Dr.esthé Anti-Mela Toning Toner is unlike any toner you have used before. A unique jelly-mist formulation — firm and gel-like in the bottle, converted into ultra-fine particles the moment it meets the air — it absorbs faster, penetrates deeper, and stays on the skin longer than any water-based mist.

Built on a base of chamomile flower water and powered by 8 synergistic brightening ingredients, it works at the very first step of your routine — calming, soothing, and beginning the correction of hyperpigmentation before your serum or cream even touches your skin.

Where most toners simply prep — this one already works.

Especially effective for sensitive and post-treatment skin, it reduces redness and heat while suppressing melanin at the earliest stage of formation — making it the essential first layer in any brightening ritual.

Chamomile Flower Water (Base)

The entire formula is built on chamomile water — not plain water. Deeply soothing, anti-inflammatory, and calming from the very first spritz. Reduces redness and heat in sensitised or post-treatment skin before any active ingredient touches it.

Tranexamic Acid

Suppresses melanin expression at the basal layer — the deepest point of pigment formation. Begins correction at the toning stage so every product applied after works harder and faster.

Niacinamide 2%

Korea FDA approved brightening functional ingredient. Blocks the melanin transfer pathway at the surface level while strengthening the skin barrier and calming inflammation simultaneously.

Kojic Acid

Inhibits tyrosinase — the enzyme that triggers melanin overproduction — for a progressively clearer, more even complexion over time.

Glutathione

A powerful antioxidant that defends against free radical damage, brightens uneven tone, and supports healthy cellular renewal from within.

Vitamin C — Dual Complex

(Ascorbic Acid + Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) Two complementary forms of Vitamin C delivering immediate antioxidant protection and sustained brightening support across skin types.

Licorice Root Extract

Brightening and anti-inflammatory — balances skin tone and inhibits hyperpigmentation while keeping the skin calm and comfortable.

This is the product my clients are most surprised by. They expect a toner to do nothing — and then their skin feels noticeably calmer and looks more even after the very first use. Start here. Everything that follows works better.
