How to use

After cleansing, apply tonic to a reusable cotton pad and wipe gently over dry skin morning and night. Allow the tonic to fully absorb before applying your moisturiser.

Tingling and redness may occur for up to 30 minutes after use, this is the natural AHAs working their magic on the skin.

With AHAs, your skin may need to adapt to the product, so build-up the usage of it, if you feel that your skin is very sensitive.

When using products like AHAs including our Dazzling Tonic it is important and essential to wear SPF daily to protect the skin against UV rays. This AHA Tonic is a liquid exfoliant which introduces new skin to the surface helping with the overall appearance of the skin.

FAQs

What are AHAs?

Our Tonic (toner) contains natural AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids). AHAs main job is to dissolve the bonds binding dead skin cells to the skin’s surface to reveal new, radiant skin, to give a smoother, brighter complexion alongside a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. AHAs improve moisturisation and increase the production of collagen which helps with skin elasticity. AHAs are effectively a liquid exfoliant rather than a physical scrub.

These natural AHAs in our Tonic are made up of 5 botanical extracts:

• Lactic Acid (Bilberry)
• Citric Acid (Orange and Lemon)
• Glycolic Acid (Sugar Cane)
• Malic Acid (Sugar Maple)
• Tartaric Acid (Sugar Maple)

Is the AHA Dazzling Tonic suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, we’ve had this product tested by an independent testing house and they have confirmed that it is suitable for sensitive skin.

Due to the AHAs in this product, you may feel tingling and redness when you first start using this product. If your skin is sensitive, dampen a cotton pad before applying the product, or use once a day so that your skin can adapt.

Everyone’s skin is different however, so we recommend doing a small patch test before using this to check that it suits your skin.

Can my child/teenager use AHA Dazzling Tonic?

We do not advise our Dazzling Tonic for children. For teens with problematic skin, you can use this product on the area of concern - dampen the cotton pad with water, apply the tonic, then use on the area once a day in the evening. When using any new product, we recommend doing a patch test first. See here for how to patch test.
