PIXI Glow Tonic Toner with 5% Glycolic Acid

PIXI Glow Tonic Toner with 5% Glycolic Acid is definitely one of beauty's most wanted! This modern beauty icon helps to tone, firm and tighten the skin. PIXI Glow Tonic is an Alcohol-free face toner that's ideal for use after cleansing and is the perfect addition to your skincare routine. It contains 5% Glycolic Acid to sweep away dead skin cells to help unclog pores and banish dry patches for clearer, healthier, brighter-looking skin. This tonic for the face contains botanical extracts of Aloe Vera and Ginseng help to soothe and heal the skin, helping to make PIXI Glow Tonic suitable for all skin types.

Skincare guru Caroline Hirons recommends this if:
"You want help to keep your skin smooth, your skin has a tendency to be dry or dull or you are slightly older. (That doesn’t mean it isn’t suited to younger skins, I’m merely highlighting the benefit to an older face.) Glycolic acid can be helpful in working to reduce pigmentation, and in the case of Glow Tonic is great as either your starter glycolic or a daily mild acid."

Skin type:

All skin types.

Free from:

Alcohol-free, cruelty-free.

Size:

250ml

Saturate a cotton pad with the tonic and sweep across face, neck and décolletage (avoiding eye area). Use either in the AM or PM or when needed after cleansing, and follow with your preferred serum and/or moisturiser.
Tip:
If your skin is especially sensitive, you can build up frequency of use so skin tolerates the product. Start by using once every other day or every three days and increase frequency - although in most cases, this won't be necessary.
We recommend wearing daily SPF when using products containing Glycolic Acid.

Ginseng Extract: Ginseng is known to energize and revitalize the skin, improving circulation and adding an additional glow.
