Glycolic acid toners and mists deliver smooth, radiant skin while providing gentle exfoliation. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid derived from sugar cane, which works by loosening and breaking down pore-clogging, dead skin cells. Explore toners with glycolic acid from SkinCeuticals, La Roche-Posay, and NEOSTRATA. These products are often formulated with varying concentrations of glycolic acid, allowing users to choose a formula that best suits their skin's needs.
While glycolic toners tend to be applied after cleansing to balance the skin's pH, mists offer a lighter way to refresh and soothe the skin, leaving it hydrated throughout the day. When spritzed on dampened skin, they help to maximize the efficacy of other skincare products layered on top.
Both forms provide a quick and effective way to incorporate the ingredient into your skincare routine without the need for complicated treatments. Benefits of glycolic acid exfoliating toners include improved skin tone and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's important to note that glycolic acid can increase skin's sensitivity to the sun, so daily sunscreen use is essential when introducing it into your routine. Glycolic facial toners are suitable for most skin types but may be especially beneficial for those with oily and acne-prone skin. Always start with a lower concentration to gauge your skin's tolerance and gradually increase use as needed.
