Biodance Cera-Nol Gel Toner Pads

These refreshing toner pads are inspired by Biodance’s TikTok-viral overnight sheet mask, which goes from white hydrogel to a hardened, clear material as it dries. The gel pads flip this process, starting off as translucent pads and fading to white as the formula absorbs. Each piece is soaked in essence, packed with dermatologist-approved hydrators.

“Hyaluronic acid improves skin elasticity and hydration, ceramide NP strengthens the skin barrier, and panthenol (vitamin B5) soothes and reduces moisture loss,” says Dr. Hwang. In his clinic, he recommends it to patients with dry, compromised, or post-treatment skin. “I find it especially useful during colder months or for patients using topical retinoids or exfoliants,” he says. “I’ve used it after laser toning, and it effectively calmed and softened the skin without causing any irritation.”

Personally, I love how refreshing these feel in the morning, and the thin pads stick to my skin without slipping off while I get ready. I leave one pad on each cheek for 5 to 10 minutes before doing my makeup to hydrate dry patches and ensure my face looks dewy and prepped for makeup.
