What it is

AHA exfoliating toner designed to slough off surface dead skin with glycolic acid while cushioning with botanical extracts and humectants.

Who it's for

• Normal, combination, or oily skin seeking smoother texture and glow.
• Users new to acids wanting a mid-strength AHA (5.25% glycolic).
• Those comfortable with chemical exfoliation who will wear daily sunscreen.

Key ingredients (INCI)

• Glycolic Acid (5.25%) — AHA exfoliant to smooth and brighten.
• Kale Extract — antioxidant, skin-comfort support.
• Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe — humectant hydration and soothing feel.
• Panthenol — helps calm and retain moisture.

Free-from / texture

• Watery, fast-absorbing toner with a light, non-sticky finish.
• No heavy oils; generally low fragrance—check INCI if sensitive.
• Leaves skin prepped for hydrating serums and moisturizer.

How to use & order

• PM use recommended. After cleansing, apply with hands or cotton pad; avoid eye area.
• Start 2–3 times per week; increase as tolerated. Follow with moisturizer.
• Always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen the next day.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Avoid same-routine use with strong retinoids, L-ascorbic acid, or other strong exfoliants; alternate nights.
• Keep supporting steps gentle and hydrating; buffer with a milky toner or moisturizer if sensitive.
• Patch test if you have sensitive or compromised skin; avoid on broken skin.

Evidence & notes

• Glycolic acid effects are cosmetic exfoliation; monitor for irritation and adjust frequency.
• Humectants (HA, aloe, panthenol) draw water; seal with moisturizer to reduce transepidermal water loss.
• Daily sunscreen is essential when using AHAs due to increased photosensitivity.

Safety

• For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Avoid eye area and broken skin; do not use on freshly shaved or compromised skin.
• Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
• Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; consult your physician for personal guidance.
