Glycolic Acid is one of the most recognizable AHA's and is a powerhouse of capabilities. It can break down dead skin cells and debris, providing exfoliation and improving skin texture. When added to a toner, glycolic acid can help reduce the appearance of discoloration, reduce scarring, and brighten complexion. Make sure to protect newly-revealed cells with a layer of sunscreen daily.

Our Glycolic Acid Toner is enriched with 7% Glycolic Acid derived from sugar cane. A gentle exfoliant, this works to unglue the dead skin cells on your complexions surface (which can make your skin appear dull and pores appear larger) to minimize the appearance of pores, smooth away uneven texture, minimize acne scarring and leave a bright, radiant skin finish.

The Glycolic Acid is accompanied by 10% witch hazel (non-alcoholic), perfect for rebalancing oily skin while providing firmness and smoothness. With potent antioxidant and gentle astringent properties, this floral water is ideal for combination and oily skin types. This floral water helps regulate sebum production and tighten pores, promoting a more balanced and refined appearance. A soothing solution for irritated and sensitive skin. Whether dealing with dryness, redness, or inflammation, this alcohol-free floral water provides gentle relief, leaving your skin feeling calm, refreshed, and rejuvenated.

To top it off, Chamomile Extract is revered for its exceptional anti-inflammatory properties, making it an invaluable ingredient for calming sensitive and irritated skin. With its gentle yet effective formula, Chamomile Extract provides relief for various skin concerns, including acne. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help combat acne-causing bacteria, while its soothing action alleviates irritation and promotes a clearer, healthier complexion.

Suited for oily, combination, acne prone, scarred and hyperpigmentation skin.
