Why We Love It

  • Brightens & Evens Tone: Visibly improves the look of dullness and uneven skin tone for a more luminous complexion.
  • Refines Skin Texture: Helps to smooth away rough patches and textural irregularities with continued use.

  • Boosts Product Absorption: Preps the skin by creating a clean slate, allowing your serums and moisturizers to work more effectively.

Star Ingredients

Let's take a look at the hard-working ingredients inside that deliver these amazing results:

  • Glycolic Acid (7%): A powerful alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that works on the skin's surface to exfoliate, revealing a brighter and more even-toned complexion.
  • Tasmanian Pepperberry Derivative: A plant-derived ingredient known for its soothing properties, helping to reduce the potential irritation sometimes associated with acid use.
  • Ginseng Root & Aloe Vera: This calming duo works together to boost visible radiance and provide soothing benefits, leaving your skin feeling comfortable and refreshed.

How to Use

After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad with the toner and sweep it across your face and neck. Avoid the eye contour and direct contact with eyes.

Frequency: PM

Expert Tips & Pairings

Here are a few tips to get the most out of your glow-up:

  • Start Slow: If you're new to acids, introduce this toner into your routine just a few times a week and gradually build up to nightly use as your skin tolerates it.
  • Sunscreen is a Must: Alpha-hydroxy acids can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
  • Don't Overdo It: Avoid using this toner in the same routine as other strong acids, retinoids, or pure Vitamin C to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation.
