Glycolic Toner
The Advanced Dual-Acid Definer to Clarify Pores, Control Oil, and Brighten Skin
Take your acne-clearing routine to the next level. The Face Reality Glycolic-Lactic Toner is a powerful, professional-grade treatment toner designed for thick, oily, or resilient skin types that require deeper cellular renewal. By combining two powerhouse Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)—Glycolic and L-Lactic Acid—this active formula dissolves the stubborn surface buildup, tightly trapped oils, and microscopic plugs that lead to persistent breakouts and under-the-skin bumps. Far more than a basic toner, it dramatically refines rough texture and sweeps away dullness to uncover a glassy, completely retexturized complexion.
Why You’ll Love It
Deep Pore Refiner & De-Congester: Glycolic acid penetrates deep into the follicle lining to break up compacted debris, making it incredibly effective against stubborn blackheads and maturation arrest acne.
Fades Post-Acne Marks Rapidly: L-Lactic Acid combined with stable Vitamin C accelerates cellular turnover to aggressively target and lighten stubborn red and brown post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Reduces Sebum Levels: Actively degreases the skin and controls excessive daytime shine without triggering the reactionary oil production caused by traditional astringents.
Maximizes Active Absorption: By chemically smoothing away the dense, "sticky" top layer of dead skin cells, it serves as the ultimate prep step to ensure your corrective acne serums penetrate deeper and work faster.
How It Feels
Texture: A crisp, water-light fluid.
Aroma: Clean and therapeutic (100% free of synthetic fragrances and artificial dyes).
Skin Feel: Instantly purifying and refreshing. Upon application, you may feel an active, clinical "tingle" as the AHAs go to work. It leaves the skin feeling incredibly smooth, tight, and completely primed for the next step of your routine.
Key Ingredients
Glycolic Acid: The smallest AHA molecular size, allowing it to easily slip past surface blockages to aggressively exfoliate, smooth texture, and stimulate skin renewal.
L-Lactic Acid: A gentler, chirally-correct AHA that resurfaces the skin while acting as a natural humectant to draw moisture into the cells—ensuring the exfoliation process remains balanced.
L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): A potent antioxidant that brightens the skin tone, protects against free radical damage, and fights the formation of dark spots.
Chamomile Extract & Allantoin: A soothing botanical duo that calms post-exfoliation redness and keeps the skin barrier comfortable.
Sodium PCA: One of the skin’s own Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) that replenishes essential hydration following acid application.
How to Use
After cleansing thoroughly, saturate a cotton round or gauze pad and gently sweep over the entire face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. Do not rinse. Allow it to absorb completely for a moment before applying your recommended corrective serums and moisturizers.
Esthetician Tip & Active Warning: Because this toner is highly active, it is strictly recommended for non-sensitive, oily, or resistant skin types only. Start by using it 2 to 3 nights a week, gradually building up to daily use as directed by your skincare professional. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day, as alpha-hydroxy acids increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun.
