A gentle exfoliating toner removes dead skin cells without drying the skin. It smooths texture, brightens dullness, and helps other products absorb better. Look for mild alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic or lactic acid, fruit enzymes, or polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) if your skin is sensitive.
These formulas balance renewal with comfort and fit easily into vegan skincare routines.
Match acid strength to skin type: glycolic suits normal to oily skin; lactic or PHAs suit dry or sensitive skin. Always patch-test and use SPF 50 sunscreen daily. The CICA toner feels mildest on reactive skin, while GlycoBoost shows quicker texture improvement.
Start every other evening and increase frequency once skin adjusts. Avoid using strong retinol with acids on the same night. A steady routine works better than high acid strength for smooth, calm skin.
Check ingredient percentages and expiry dates before buying. Patch-test on the jawline for 24 hours before full use. With consistent application, tone and clarity usually improve within two to three weeks.
