• 10% Glycolic Acid exfoliation — high-concentration AHA dissolves dead skin cell bonds and clears surface congestion more effectively than physical scrubs • Resurfaces skin texture — regular use smooths rough patches, bumps and uneven texture caused by buildup • Refines the appearance of pores — by clearing pore-clogging debris, pores appear smaller and less noticeable • Brightens complexion — removing dull, pigmented surface cells reveals the fresher, more luminous skin underneath • Fades hyperpigmentation — accelerates turnover of pigmented cells, helping reduce dark spots, sun damage and post-acne marks • Glow-boosting formula — glycolic acid is one of the AHAs most associated with a radiant, glowing finish • Suitable for oily and combination skin — the toner format works well with skin that can tolerate stronger exfoliation • Large 100ml size — generous format for a daily-use exfoliating step

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly. 2. Saturate a cotton pad with the toner. 3. Sweep gently across face and neck in one direction — do not scrub or rub. 4. Avoid the eye area and any broken or irritated skin. 5. Do not rinse off — this is a leave-on exfoliant. 6. Allow to absorb for 5–10 minutes before applying serum and moisturiser. 7. Start with 1–2 uses per week. Increase to every other night as your skin builds tolerance. 8. Always use SPF in the morning — AHAs increase photosensitivity significantly. Tip: Never use on the same evening as retinol or other AHAs. Choose one active per night to avoid over-exfoliation.

Q: What is Glycolic Acid and how does it exfoliate? A: Glycolic Acid is an AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) derived from sugar cane. It has the smallest molecular size of all AHAs, allowing it to penetrate the skin most deeply and effectively. It works by breaking down the chemical bonds that hold dead skin cells together at the surface, allowing them to shed more easily and revealing the newer cells beneath. The result is a smoother, brighter, more evenly textured skin surface. Q: Is 10% Glycolic Acid strong for a daily toner? A: 10% is considered a moderate-to-strong AHA concentration. It is effective but requires skin to adapt. Begin with 1–2 uses per week and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. If you experience persistent redness, stinging or peeling, reduce frequency or switch to a gentler AHA like Lactic Acid. Q: Can I use this toner if I have dry or sensitive skin? A: This toner is primarily suited to oily and combination skin. Those with dry or sensitive skin may find 10% Glycolic Acid too strong and may experience irritation or barrier disruption. A lower-concentration AHA toner or a gentler PHA toner would be more appropriate for sensitive or dry skin types. Q: Can I use Glycolic Acid and retinol together? A: Not on the same evening. Both are active exfoliants/treatments that can cause irritation when combined. Use Glycolic Acid toner on some evenings and retinol on alternating evenings — never both on the same night. Always apply SPF the next morning regardless of which you use. Q: How long before I see results? A: Smoother skin texture is often noticeable within 1–2 weeks of consistent use. Improvements in brightness, pore appearance and hyperpigmentation develop over 4–8 weeks with regular use combined with daily SPF.
