LACTIC ACID TONER APPLICATION
After cleansing, dispense a small amount of the lactic acid toner onto a cotton pad or your fingertips. Gently swipe the toner across your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. Consider using the lactic acid toner in your nighttime skincare routine, as exfoliation can increase sensitivity to sunlight. This allows your skin to repair and regenerate overnight. Follow up with the rest of your skincare routine.
ALLOW ABSORPTION
Let the toner absorb into your skin for a few minutes before proceeding with the rest of your skincare routine.
FREQUENCY
Start by using the lactic acid toner once every other night to assess your skin's tolerance. Gradually increase usage to once daily or as tolerated.
PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY
Avoid using the lactic acid toner in conjunction with other exfoliating products, such as scrubs or other acid-based treatments, to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. Lactic acid, vitamin C, and retinol are all active ingredients that can potentially interact and cause irritation when used together. To avoid this, consider using them on alternate days or different times of the day.
MOISTURISE AND SPF
Apply a moisturiser suited to your skin type to lock in hydration and prevent dryness. Look for ingredients like green tea extract for added antioxidant and soothing properties. Due to its exfoliating properties, glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
PATIENCE AND CONSISTENCY
Consistency is key to seeing results with any skincare routine. Use the glycolic acid toner consistently and incorporate complementary products regularly to maintain clear, healthy-looking skin.
GLYCOLIC ACID APPLICATION

PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY
Avoid using the glycolic acid toner in conjunction with other exfoliating products, such as scrubs or other acid-based treatments, to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. Since both vitamin C and retinol serums are active ingredients that can potentially cause irritation when combined with glycolic acid, consider using them on alternate days or different times of the day to minimise the risk of over-exfoliation and sensitivity.
MOISTURISE AND SPF
Follow up with moisturiser after applying the toner to replenish moisture and support skin barrier function. Look for ingredients like green tea extract for added antioxidant and soothing properties.. During the day, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from UV damage.
