How to use: Exfoliating Toner with Glycolic Acid | 250 ml
One simple step at night, on clean, dry skin, to bring chemical exfoliation into your routine without abrasive granules. With 5% glycolic acid and humectants like betaine and Sodium PCA, it helps renew texture and brighten tired skin.
Who it’s for
- Skin with uneven tone or dark spots
- Skin with dull texture or visible pores
- Tired skin that needs a glow
- Anyone new to chemical exfoliation who wants a minimalist 12-ingredient formula
When to use it
At night only, on clean, dry skin, right after cleansing and before your serum and cream. Start with 2-3 times a week for the first 4 weeks, then once your skin has adapted you can move to nightly use.
How to apply it, step by step
- Cleanse your face with the Cleansing Milk or Micellar Water and dry your skin well.
- Soak a cotton pad with the toner, enough to be well saturated without dripping (or pour a little into your palms).
- Sweep the pad over your face and neck, or press gently in with your palms. Avoid the eye area.
- Don't rinse. Wait 2 minutes to let your skin settle.
- Apply your serum and seal with the Night Cream with Ceramides.
- In the morning, don't forget SPF 30+ sunscreen: AHAs increase photosensitivity.
Get the most out of it
- Consistency beats intensity: 3 nights a week, done regularly, works better than overdoing it from the start.
- On nights without the exfoliating toner, hydrate and support your skin barrier rather than adding more actives.
- If you use retinol, alternate nights or use it every other day. Never in the same step.
Avoid
- Starting with daily use straight away: your skin barrier needs time to adapt.
- Combining it with retinol on the same night, which tends to cause irritation.
- Skipping sunscreen by day, or applying the toner around the eyes, which should be avoided.
Pairs well with
- Tinted Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 50 | 20 ml — Glycolic acid increases photosensitivity, so mineral sunscreen in the morning is a must to protect your skin through the day.
- Night Cream with Ceramides | 50 ml — Seals your night routine and helps rebuild the skin barrier after exfoliating.
- Prebiotic Repair Serum | 30 ml — On nights without acid, it helps reinforce your skin barrier and keeps your routine balanced.
