Ultra Essence Aqua

** Deeply Hydrate Dehydrated Skin While Helping Support A Smoother, Healthier-Looking Glow **

When skin feels tight, dull, dehydrated, or easily irritated, hydration alone often is not enough—you also need ingredients that help support the skin barrier and maintain healthy-looking skin over time.

Storyderm Ultra Essence Aqua is a lightweight yet deeply moisturizing Korean toner formulated with 25,000 ppm Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) to help attract and retain moisture while reducing moisture loss from dry, stressed skin.

This hydrating toner combines humectants, soothing botanical extracts, and peptide ingredients to help skin feel softer, calmer, and more refreshed after cleansing. The formula also contains Copper Tripeptide-1 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, which help support smoother-looking skin and improve the appearance of dryness-related fine lines over time.

Botanical ingredients including Centella Asiatica, Licorice Root, Green Tea, Ginger Root, and Schisandra Fruit Extract help comfort sensitive or environmentally stressed skin while supporting a healthier-looking complexion.

The result is skin that feels hydrated, smoother, plumper, and naturally radiant without heaviness or stickiness.

Why It’s Different

• Lightweight hydration that never feels heavy
Formulated with sodium hyaluronate to help replenish moisture, support the skin barrier, and leave dehydrated skin feeling soft, balanced, and comfortably hydrated.

• Soothing botanical support for stressed skin
Centella asiatica, licorice root, green tea, and antioxidant-rich plant extracts help calm visible redness and support a healthier-looking complexion.

• Peptide-enhanced skin conditioning
Copper tripeptide-1 and acetyl hexapeptide-8 help support smoother-looking skin and improve the appearance of dryness-related fine lines over time.

• Ideal for sensitive and dehydrated skin types
Designed for skin that feels tight, sensitivity-prone, moisture-depleted, or easily overwhelmed by harsh skincare routines.

• Fast-absorbing, layer-friendly texture
This fast-absorbing Korean hydrating toner layers easily without stickiness, making it ideal for serums, moisturizers, and barrier-support routines.

How to Use/Who It’s For

How to Use
After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount onto a cotton pad or into clean hands and gently sweep or pat across the face and neck. Follow with serums and moisturizer.
Can also be layered for additional hydration on dehydrated skin.

Pro Tip (Korean Skincare Layering Method)
Layer this hydrating toner 2–3 times, gently pressing each layer into the skin before applying the next. This Korean skincare technique helps boost hydration and leaves skin feeling softer, calmer, and more comfortably balanced.
