In the past few weeks I've seen a huge difference in my skin; Now I'm not saying it's all down to this particular product but I believe that it has helped in some light. I usually get blemishes around my chin area and am prone to spots scaring badly which can last for weeks on end. This seems to have subsided since I introduced this into my routine. This toner contains glycolic & salicylic acid, which is known in aiding acne as it exfoliates away the dead skin. By renewing these skin cells the product helps in smoothing out and brightening the skin.
It is not recommended to use such a chemical toner all the time however, so I've been using it twice a week whilst alternating it with my Lush Tea Tree Toner Water. This is because too much of the above acids can be dangerous for your skin in the long run. I really do recommend this product to those of you who suffer with blemishes/acne or just wish for a brighter complexion. I'm really glad I purchased it and will continue to use this beauty and delve more into the Clarins brand.
Have you had a good or bad experience with a chemical toner? I'd love to know if you bought into the hype too, sometimes I just can't help myself! I'd love to hear what you think in the comments below, thanks for reading!

I have this product and love it too - definitely agree that it can do wonders for the skin! I was actually using it nightly and found it fine, I didn't experience any irritation. I've since switched to every second night because I feel that my skin has improved so much since!

Deletethank you so much for sharing this! I hardly ever get spots but when I do, no matter how small the spot is, it always leaves a red mark on my skin, I will definitely be trying this brightening toner! It's great that it is an exfoliator too! xo

DeleteI really need to try this toner. I've been torn on whether to buy this or the Pixi Glow Tonic but I hate how you can only buy the Pixi tonic online even though you get more for your money etc. I think this sounds so lovely xx

It's so worth it! xx
DeleteI have been loving this toner and I'm switching between this toner and the Tea Tree Water as well!

Oh, great minds think alike ;) xx
DeleteI always wanted to try this out, but I already have two different chemical exfoliators in my stash. Maybe when I finish them... However I found all the chemical toners contain alcohol, which I'm not a huge fan of.
