Jumiso has been one of my favorite brands regarding serums ever since I tried out their All Day Vitamin Brightening & Balancing facial serum* a few years back. I’ve also tried out another serum of theirs, the Super Soothing Cica and Aloe facial serum*, and I love it!
Jumiso released two new toners to complement these serums, and I’m so excited to be one of the lucky ones to get the chance to try these out.

Combining those two, Jumiso started its brand with a mission to make people smile, therefore their brand logo.

Glycerin
Guide on Best Humectants in Skincare
Good old trusty glycerin is often overlooked as an inexpensive or inelegant ingredient in skincare, but it is one of the best, most reliable humectants.
Glycerin is also probably the most well-known humectant. It:
- Hydrates. Glycerin is a very effective humectant, used in many moisturizers to increase skin hydration.
- Occurs naturally in your skin as part of its home-grown moisturizing system, the natural moisturizing factor (NMF).
- Strengthens skin barrier. Glycerin also keeps the skin’s lipids flexible, strengthening your skin barrier.
- Softens. Glycerin softens the skin so other hydrating ingredients can more easily penetrate the skin.
- Reduces TEWL. Glycerin helps slow down transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Like other humectants, it works by sitting in the top layers of your skin and attracting water from the air and the deeper layers, leaving your skin surface plump and hydrated, even when the weather is arid.
Best Korean Centella Asiatica Products
Centella Asiatica
Centella Asiatica is a plant powerhouse skincare-wise because it has many benefits for the skin.
Centella is an antioxidant-rich plant known for treating issues internally and topically, also called tiger grass or gotu kola. Centella is highly effective for wound healing, tone brightening, and boosting collagen production in skin care applications due to the abundance of vitamins A, C, B1, B2, and B3 in its extract. Centella is an all-rounder in anti-aging and skin health, imparting high moisture levels and improving circulation.
Fun fact: It’s called tiger grass in Asia because those big cats purportedly rubbed up against the plants when they were injured, and it helped to heal their wounds.
Centella contains many active compounds. However, researchers believe that saponins Asiaticoside and Madecassoside, which are also present in this toner’s formulation, are responsible for this plant’s broad therapeutic actions:
- improves the hydration of the skin’s barrier;
- reduces skin redness;
- decreases trans-epidermal water loss;
- allows the skin to return to optimal pH after exposure to irritants;
- increases collagen production;
- improves skin firmness and elasticity
- reverses photo-aging of the skin
- speeds up acne healing.
Jumiso Super Soothing Cica and Aloe Essence Toner does not contain essential oils, parabens, alcohol, and artificial fragrances.

My Personal Experience with the Jumiso Super Soothing Cica and Aloe Essence Toner
This toner has a watery-viscous texture that feels lightweight enough on the skin, though it does have a bit of slip before it gets fully absorbed.
I love how refreshing it feels and instantly hydrates my skin, making it soft and supple. This is great for layering and never feels too heavy on my combination skin type. The slight cooling effect makes it perfect for masking, too!
Pros
- very hydrating
- soothing
- refreshing
