Toner / exfoliating solution

Description

Hydroalcoholic pore-minimising toner formulated with 8% Glycolic Acid (AHA) to exfoliate, clarify and help tighten pores. Designed for oily or oily-prone, non-sensitive skin with early signs of ageing, this oil-free, fragrance-free solution helps clear clogged pores, remove excess surface oil and sebum, refine skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Bnefits

  • Contains 8% Glycolic Acid, a high-strength AHA, to exfoliate the skin’s surface and normalise desquamation.
  • Helps clear clogged pores and dissolve excess surface oil, sebum and other lipids on oily or acne-prone skin.
  • Pore-minimising toner that helps clarify skin and refine the appearance of enlarged pores.
  • Improves skin texture and tone, smoothing the look of fine lines and early wrinkles with continued use.
  • Hydroalcoholic solution that leaves skin feeling fresh and clean without a heavy residue.
  • Oil-free and fragrance-free, suitable for those avoiding added oils and perfumes.
  • Can be used on face, chest, back and other oily areas for multi-site management of congestion.
  • Non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic according to brand literature.
  • Ideal for non-sensitive oily or oily-prone skin with early signs of ageing.
  • pH around 3.9, optimised for effective but controlled AHA activity.

  • Includes Polyquaternium-10 for light conditioning and improved skin feel.
  • Chlorhexidine Digluconate provides antimicrobial/preservative support to help keep the formula stable on skin and in the bottle.

Packaging

  • 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) plastic bottle, typically with screw cap or flip-top applicator for use with cotton pads.

  • Professional/aesthetic distributors (including Fillers Direct) list pack size as 100 ml for clinic and home-use retail.

Usage

  • Apply to cleansed skin using fingertips or a cotton pad, focusing on oily or breakout-prone areas (face, chest, back and other affected sites).
  • Use once daily for the first one to two weeks; if well tolerated, increase to twice daily thereafter, as directed by a skincare professional.
  • Do not rinse after application; allow the solution to dry before applying subsequent skincare products.
  • Can be used throughout the day, as tolerated, to freshen and tone non-sensitive skin.
  • Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Introduce gradually when used alongside other active treatments (e.g., retinoids, other acids) to minimise irritation.
  • Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is strongly recommended and sun exposure should be limited while using this high-strength AHA toner.

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity or allergy to Glycolic Acid, alcohol, Chlorhexidine or any listed ingredient.
  • Sensitive, highly reactive or rosacea-prone skin, as this high-strength hydroalcoholic AHA solution is not recommended for sensitive skin.
  • Broken, inflamed, eczematous or compromised skin unless specifically directed by a healthcare or skincare professional.
  • Concurrent use with multiple strong exfoliants or irritant topical treatments (e.g., prescription retinoids, peels) without professional guidance, due to increased risk of irritation.
  • Not for use on mucous membranes or near eyes; external use only.

Adverse Effects

  • Common AHA-related sensations such as stinging, tingling, burning or warmth may occur on application, especially in the early stages of use or on compromised skin.
  • Hydroalcoholic base may cause dryness, tightness or flaking, particularly with overuse or in combination with other drying agents.
  • Potential for erythema (redness), irritation or contact dermatitis in susceptible individuals; discontinue and seek advice if marked irritation, swelling or rash occurs.
  • Increased photosensitivity due to 8% Glycolic Acid; lack of adequate photoprotection can increase the risk of sunburn and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
  • Rare allergic reactions to Chlorhexidine Digluconate or other ingredients are possible and warrant discontinuation.

Storage Conditions

  • Store at room temperature, typically 15–25 °C, away from excessive heat, flame and direct sunlight.
  • Keep bottle tightly closed when not in use to minimise evaporation of alcohol and maintain formula stability.
  • Do not freeze.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

Duration

Intended for ongoing daily use as part of a long-term regimen for oily or acne-prone, non-sensitive skin; no fixed course is specified and duration should be based on clinical response and tolerability.

Onset

Immediate feeling of freshness and oil removal after each use; noticeable improvements in pore congestion, surface oiliness, texture and early signs of ageing typically develop gradually over several weeks of consistent use (around 4 weeks or more).
