One of the biggest downfalls of toners is the dehydration effect. Strong astringents with high alcohol content will remove so much oil that it leaves your skin parched and overly tight.

Litmus Test replenishing toner with glycolic & lactic acid is not your grandma's toner. It goes beyond removing residue and grease to help shed dead skin cells and reveal a more vibrant and healthy looking complexion. The alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) penetrate the skin to help lock in moisture, leaving skin looking more youthful and hydrated!

Your skin's pH needs to achieve an optimum balance to resist irritation. Slight acidity will keep bacteria at bay. The soothing flower extract allantoin in the Litmus Test replenishing toner has a moisturizing, soothing effect that helps protect your skin during the exfoliation process.

Sensitive skin types should look for these natural skin relievers when using products that contain glycolic. Green and white tea extracts gently refresh your skin. These antioxidants work with glycolic and lactic acid to help minimize wrinkles.

Skin also has trouble with the balancing act of moisture, so it's important that your toner has hydrating ingredients. Hyaluronic Acid, already in your dermis, naturally acts as a sealant for moisture. This added component goes the extra mile.

Together, the ingredients create a unique moisture and pH-balancing formula. You get a lot of action in exchange for little work on your end. Swab a cotton ball across your forehead and nose (T-zone is a must) and any other areas that might need balancing. Let it air dry, and your skin is one step closer to becoming balanced and ready for the next step in your skin care routine, moisturizer or your favorite serum such as Wrinkle Revenge ultimate hyaluronic serum.
