Ready to reveal your most radiant skin? Meet the exfoliating toner that's a total game-changer for texture and tone. This powerful formula works to gently sweep away dull, dead skin cells, leaving you with a complexion that's visibly clearer, smoother, and glowing.

Why We Love It

• Boosts Radiance: Visibly brightens the skin for a healthy, luminous glow.
• Refines Texture: Helps smooth away rough patches and unevenness for a softer, more uniform feel.
• Enhances Clarity: Works to improve the look of skin clarity over time with consistent use.
• Evens Skin Tone: Targets dullness and signs of uneven tone to promote a more balanced complexion.
• Supports Other Products: By removing the surface layer of dead skin, it helps your other skincare products absorb more effectively.

Star Ingredients

It’s all about the smart, targeted ingredients that get the job done without the fuss.

• Glycolic Acid (7%): An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that works on the skin's surface to exfoliate, revealing brighter and more even-toned skin underneath.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry Derivative: A plant-derived ingredient known for its soothing properties, which helps to reduce the potential for irritation often associated with acid use.
• Ginseng Root & Aloe Vera: A botanical duo that works together to provide both visible radiance and calming benefits, leaving skin feeling comfortable and refreshed.
• Amino Acids: This formula is supported by amino acids that help to maintain skin barrier function and hydration.

How to Use

After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad with the toner and sweep across your face and neck. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Do not rinse off; follow with your favorite serums and moisturizer.

Frequency: PM

Expert Tips & Pairings

A few friendly tips to get the most out of your glow-up:

• Sunscreen is a Must: AHAs can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using this product and for a week after.
• Start Slow: If you're new to direct acids, introduce this toner into your routine slowly, starting with 2-3 times a week, and see how your skin responds before increasing frequency.
• Listen to Your Skin: Avoid using on compromised, peeling, or irritated skin. Do not use in the same routine as other strong acids, pure Vitamin C, retinoids, or peptides.
