Product Description
This cult-favourite toner delivers a true 7% glycolic acid concentration (most drugstore “glycolic toners” are 1–4%). It gently dissolves the “glue” holding dead cells, revealing fresher, glowier skin underneath. Regular use dramatically improves skin texture, fades post-acne marks and pigmentation, minimizes pores, and gives that coveted “glass skin” effect. Added Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative reduces the irritation commonly associated with AHAs, while amino acids, aloe, ginseng, and glycerin soothe and hydrate. Benefits • Smoother, brighter complexion after first use • Reduces acne scars, dark spots, and keratosis pilaris • Shrinks the appearance of pores • Evens skin tone and boosts radiance • Improves makeup application (no more flaky patches) • Excellent prep step before serums and moisturisers • One bottle lasts 3–6 months (use 2–3× week initially) How to Use Use ideally in the PM, no more than once daily After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad and sweep over face & neck (avoid eye area & lips) Do NOT rinse off Start with 2–3 times per week; gradually increase if tolerated Always follow with moisturiser Mandatory daily sunscreen (SPF30+) the next morning – glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity Important • Slight tingling is normal at first; stop if severe stinging or redness occurs • Patch test 24 h before first use • Do not combine with direct acids, retinoids, pure vitamin C, or copper peptides in the same routine
