This toner solution provides 7% light exfoliation to improve skin radiance and apparent clarity. The formula also works to improve skin texture appearance with continued use. From the manufacturer Technology Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This toner solution provides 7% light exfoliation to improve skin radiance and apparent clarity. The formula also works to improve skin texture appearance with continued use. This formula contains a studied Tasmanian pepper derivative. This derivative is plant-based and varies seasonally; this color variation may be noticeable in the formula from time to time. The formula also supports the addition of ginseng root extract and aloe vera for visible radiance benefits and soothing the skin. Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or damaged skin. Please refer to the additional sun protection note and other warnings in the instructions provided. The pH of this formula is approximately 3.6. Glycolic acid has a dissociation constant (pKa) of 3.6, which is the most important aspect to consider when formulating acid-containing products. The dissociation constant indicates the availability of the acid. When the dissociation constant is close to the pH, there is an optimal balance between salt and acidity, increasing acid effectiveness and reducing irritation. Higher pH numbers in such cases will increase the salt, making the formula, counterintuitively, more irritating than if it were more acidic. Note: While exfoliating acids can lead to quick and noticeable benefits, generally, we recommend indirect forms of skin exfoliation over direct forms like this formula due to potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids. Refer to NIOD's Non-Acid Acid Precursor product as an example. Usage instructions Ideally used in the evening, at most once daily. After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad with the formula and wipe the face and neck. Avoid the eye area and contact with eyes. Do not rinse. Continue with additional dermatological treatments as needed. The product should contact the skin for limited frequency or duration. If irritation occurs, stop use and consult a doctor. Use only as directed on healthy skin. It is recommended to perform a patch test before use. Keep out of reach of children.
