What you get: A 10% Glycolic Acid toner that gently exfoliates, smooths texture and visibly brightens skin. Reduces blackheads, fine lines and pore appearance.

How it feels: Lightweight, fast-absorbing formula with a slightly tingling sensation

When to use: PM only. Start with 1–3x per week and gradually increase based on your skin's tolerance. Always follow with SPF during the day.

  • Normal skin
  • Combination skin
  • Oily skin
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Targets:

  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone & texture
  • Dull skin
  • Blackheads

Understanding AHA Exfoliation

Glycolic acid is the smallest Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), allowing it to penetrate deeper into skin for effective exfoliation. Unlike physical scrubs that can cause micro-tears, chemical exfoliation gently dissolves dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath.

The Science: At 10% concentration with a pH of 3.6-4.0, this formula provides impactful exfoliation while remaining suitable for most skin types. The addition of 5% Witch Hazel helps control oil and minimize irritation.

    Still new to it!

    I have only used it a couple of times so I can't give full review or stars yet. It definitely makes my skin feel clean without any burning or over drying.

    Great product

    Love this toner. Refreshing to use in the morning before applying makeup. And it's good for sensitive skin. Will buy this again for sure.
