Glycolic Acid Toner

That lit-from-within glow needs active renewal, not just moisture. This 3% Glycolic Acid toner clears the buildup of old, dull skin that traps oil and settles into fine lines, letting fresh skin reflect light. It’s strong enough to brighten pigmentation and refine pores, yet gentle enough for skin of colour without the irritation of stronger exfoliants.

• Gentle resurfacing — sweeps away dull skin and unclogs pores.
• Brightens and fades — helps clear hyperpigmentation, Chubaba, dark spots and acne marks.
• Firming action — supports collagen for firmer-looking skin.
• Better absorption — lets your serums and moisturisers sink in.
• Smooths "chicken skin" — helps with the rough, bumpy texture of keratosis pilaris.

• Glycolic Acid (3%) + Glucono Delta-Lactone (PHA) — the Glycolic Acid works deeper to shift debris and fade marks, while the PHA smooths and hydrates the surface — multi-level exfoliation without the redness of a peel.
• Allantoin and Panthenol (Vitamin B5) — soothe irritation and keep skin soft and calm.

Use at night only. Start once or twice a week, building to a maximum of three times a week if your skin tolerates it. On a clean, dry face, saturate a cotton pad and pat into the skin, avoiding the eyes. Do not rinse — follow with a hydrating serum and moisturiser. Don’t use it in the same session as other AHAs or Vitamin C, and wear SPF during the day.

Best for normal, combination and oily skin. The 3% strength is chosen specifically to be safe and effective for skin of colour, lowering the risk of post-inflammatory dark marks. If your skin is very dry or hypersensitive, use the gentler Lactic Acid Toner instead.

• Active: 3% Glycolic Acid with Glucono Delta-Lactone (PHA).
• Night use only — pair with daily SPF.

Patch test: apply a small amount to your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use.

Is glycolic acid safe for dark skin?

At this 3% strength, yes. It’s chosen to brighten and resurface while keeping the risk of post-inflammatory dark marks low.

How often should I use it?

Start once or twice a week at night, up to a maximum of three times. Over-exfoliating does more harm than good.

Do I rinse it off?

No. Pat it on with a cotton pad and leave it, then follow with serum and moisturiser.

Can I use it with Vitamin C?

Not in the same session. Alternate them on different nights to avoid over-exfoliating.
