A well-loved brightening toner pad that helps to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.

These toner pads are loaded with so many great ingredients, providing a multitude of functions to benefit your skin. Niacinamide is the main character in this product and is loved world-wide for just how much it does. It moisturises and brightens the skin, and combats radicals (molecules that lead to premature aging) from damaging our skin. The product’s ability to reduce dark spots comes from ingredients like Niacinamide, Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside and Tranexamic Acid, all of which work together to give you a lovely radiant complexion.

There are also LHAs and PHAs in this product, which are gentle chemical exfoliants, even milder than your common AHAs and BHAs. These chemical exfoliants are a nicer alternative to physical exfoliants (things like body scrubs) as there is reduced risk of micro-tearing or overstimulating the skin. These exfoliants help to rid of dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, revealing new and unblemished skin.

There is alcohol present in this product. There is a hot debate about the use of alcohol (not the nice fatty alcohols like cetyl and stearyl) in skincare, as consistent use has been shown in a 2017 scientific journal to have long-term consequences. However, the alcohol in this product is extremely far down on the ingredient list, and is packed with many moisturising ingredients (Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Propanediol) that reduce the damage alcohol can cause. We recommend following the usage instructions to ensure there is no over-exposure of alcohol to the skin (and make sure to check your other products to see if you’ve got too much alcohol in your routine).

Well suited: regular, above 16 years of age, under 40 years of age

Well suited, but be wary: oily, dry, combo, acne-prone, psoriasis, eczema, mature, those 40 years of age and over

Not well suited: rosacea, pregnancy, sensitive, children 16 years of age and under, and those wanting to avoid fungal acne triggers

Benefits

  • The presence of humectants (ingredients naturally found in human skin) helps the skin attract and retain moisture, leading to a dewy and plump complexion
  • Panthenol and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (that was fun to spell) work to calm and reduce skin irritation
  • Antioxidants such as Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol help to defend the skin against damage from environmental stressors (daily pollution and grime)

Targets

  • A combination of the Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid and different forms of Vitamin C helps to fade dark spots and even out blemished skin
  • Exfoliants like Gluconolactone and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid work gently to lift dead skin cells, revealing fresh skin underneath and aiding in reducing dark spots

How to use

  • There is a smooth side and a rougher side to each pad. Place the smooth side on your dry skin (most choose their cheeks, but wherever you wish to reduce hyperpigmentation) for 3 to 5 minutes
  • Once your time is up, wipe your face with the gauze (rougher) side and continue with your daily routine, ensuring you use your favourite moisturiser
  • If you’re using this in your morning routine, always follow up with a high SPF sunscreen

Important notes:

  • There is alcohol in this product, so please ensure you aren't using too much alcohol in your entire routine to prevent overexposure - this can lead to your skin barrier becoming damaged
  • Due to the use of Polysorbate 80 and Pyridoxine HCI, this product isn't deemed fungal acne safe

Caution:

  • Always patch test in inner elbow before use, especially if you have sensitive skin
  • Discontinue use if signs of irritation appear
  • For external use only
  • Avoid contact with eyes
  • Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin
  • Keep out of reach of children
  • Store in cool and dry places, away from direct sunlight
