It works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells to reveal smoother, more even skin without the intense stinging or sensitivity often associated with stronger alpha hydroxy acids. The product aims to address clogged pores, uneven texture, dullness, and blemishes while remaining suitable across a broad range of skin types when introduced carefully into a routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this toner fit into my daily skincare routine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the toner after cleansing and before heavier serums or creams. Start with every other night or fewer applications to assess tolerance, then increase as your skin adapts.
