Product details

A clear bottle of Supple Preparation Unscented Toner with a purple label on an ivory table between glass spheres and centella leaves

Hydrating prep

Klairs’ best-loved hydrating toner, remade without essential oils for very sensitive, reactive skin.

Some fans couldn’t use the original Supple Preparation toner because of its essential oils, so Klairs recreated it without them. The base is the same: plant extracts, with licorice root and centella high on the list, plus hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan for deep, lasting hydration that helps balance skin’s pH. The texture is light, slightly viscous and quick to absorb.

Good to know

  • No essential oils or fragrance on the ingredient list; otherwise it matches the original Supple Preparation Facial Toner.
  • Klairs’ marketing calls it preservative-free, but chlorphenesin, a preservative, is on the list.
  • Cruelty-free, per Klairs.
