Glycolic-Lactic Toner
Glycolic-Lactic Toner is an exfoliating AHA toner designed to smooth texture, refine pores, and brighten uneven tone without clogging pores. It helps remove dead skin cell buildup, reduce excess oil, and refresh the skin making it an ideal next step once your skin is already tolerating active acne treatments and ready for more advanced exfoliation.
Key Ingredients
Glycolic Acid – The smallest AHA, allowing deeper penetration to effectively exfoliate the skin’s surface, smooth texture, and improve clarity.
Lactic Acid – A gentler AHA that exfoliates while also supporting hydration, helping balance glycolic’s strength.
Witch Hazel – Naturally astringent and soothing, helps tone the skin and manage excess oil without stripping.
Allantoin & Chamomile Extract – Calm and soothe the skin to reduce irritation from exfoliation.
