Trimay Papaya 4HA Galactomyces Peel & Pore Control Essence Toner

The Trimay Papaya 4HA Galactomyces Peel & Pore Control Essence Toner is a lightweight, slightly acidic exfoliating toner-essence built around two hero ingredients: 49.3% papaya extract and fermented Galactomyces. It gently sweeps away dead surface cells, helps soften the look of blackheads and clears the way for a smoother, more refined-looking complexion — without the tight, stripped feeling of harsher peels.

The 4HA acid blend (AHA + BHA + PHA + LHA) does the resurfacing work, while papaya enzyme and Galactomyces ferment keep the formula comfortable. The result is skin that looks clearer, feels softer and reflects light more evenly.

Who is it for?

Best suited to combination, oily and blemish-prone skin that deals with visible pores, uneven texture and an oily T-zone. The mild acid level also makes it approachable for sensitive skin types who want gentle, regular exfoliation rather than a strong peel.

Key ingredients

• Papaya extract / Papain (49.3%): a plant-derived enzyme from papaya that gently loosens dead surface cells and helps break down excess sebum to keep pores looking clearer.
• 4HA complex (AHA + BHA + PHA + LHA): AHA polishes the surface and refines texture; BHA works into pores to help dissolve build-up and excess sebum; PHA exfoliates gently while helping limit moisture loss; LHA helps smooth and renew the look of the skin surface.
• Galactomyces ferment: a fermented yeast filtrate that helps the formula absorb well and leaves skin looking hydrated, brighter and more even in tone.
• 2 types of hyaluronic acid (different molecular weights): form a light, breathable layer that helps lock in moisture across multiple levels of the skin so it feels plumped, supple and hydrated for longer.
• Allantoin: softens and comforts the skin while helping pores look tighter and balancing the feel of an oily surface.

How to use it

After cleansing, apply the toner to clean, dry skin. You can pat a small amount over the whole face with your hands, or smooth it on with a cotton pad for a light wipe-off exfoliation. Follow with your serum and moisturiser. Because it contains exfoliating acids, start 2–3 times a week, build up as your skin gets used to it, and always finish your morning routine with SPF.
