Powered by a perfectly balanced 5% Glycolic Acid, it gently dissolves dead skin cells and coaxes fresh, bright skin to the surface — while priming your skin so serums absorb up to 40% better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrighter, more even skin — and a routine that finally performs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExfoliating toners aren't just about skin texture. When your cell turnover is running 60 days instead of 28, every active serum you apply is sitting on a layer of dead cells instead of reaching live skin.

Use a cotton pad or press directly into skin with clean hands. Use in the evening, 3–4 nights per week. Always follow with SPF the next morning.
