20 in stock
GLYCOLIC Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a water-based, exfoliating toner formulated with 7% glycolic acid, a proven alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that effectively exfoliates the skin. It helps to remove dead Skin cells, revealing a smoother, more even texture. Regular use of this glycolic acid toner promotes the appearance of more luminous and radiant skin while reducing the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
This formulation also features a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, a plant extract that helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation commonly associated with exfoliation, making it suitable for frequent use. The presence of this natural ingredient may cause seasonal colour variation in the formula. With a carefully calibrated pH of approximately 3.6, the toner has an optimal balance between salt and acidity.
This multi-functional toner is not only effective on the face, but can also be applied to the scalp to help rebalance, hydrate, and reduce dryness. This formulation should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. For best results, it is recommended to follow sun protection guidance due to increased skin sensitivity to sunlight after use.
FAQs
You have questions, we have answers.
What causes breakouts and acne?
Breakouts and acne can result from excess oil production, clogged pores, hormonal fluctuations, stress, or using products that are not suitable for the skin type. A consistent routine using gentle cleansers and targeted treatments can help regulate oil, reduce congestion, and support clearer-looking skin.
Why does skin feel dry even after moisturizing?
This usually indicates dehydration or a compromised skin barrier rather than a lack of moisturizer. Over-cleansing, harsh ingredients, or environmental factors can strip the skin of moisture. Using hydrating products that support the skin barrier can help improve moisture retention and overall comfort.
How can sensitive skin be protected from irritation?
Sensitive skin is more reactive to external triggers such as fragrances, alcohol, and strong active ingredients. Choosing gentle formulations with soothing ingredients and avoiding over-exfoliation can help calm the skin, reduce redness, and strengthen its natural protective barrier over time.
What helps improve dull skin and fine lines?
Dullness and fine lines are often linked to dehydration, sun exposure, and slower skin renewal. Products rich in antioxidants, hydrating ingredients, and gentle exfoliants can help improve skin texture, boost radiance, and support a smoother, more refreshed appearance with consistent use.
How can a simple skincare routine be built?
A simple routine focuses on essential steps: cleansing to remove impurities, moisturizing to maintain hydration, and sun protection to prevent damage. Targeted treatments can be added gradually based on specific skin concerns, helping maintain results without overwhelming the skin.
