Exfoliating Toner

An exfoliating toner consists of an active solution of alpha or beta hydroxy acids that gently remove dead skin particles from your skin's changing cell turnover, leaving one with a smooth and glowing complexion.

Anyone who wants to enhance texture, tone, and overall glow with an exfoliating toner will see results. It works brilliantly for dull skin, discoloured texture, or congested pores.

The regular frequency of exfoliating toner usage will depend on your specific formulation, strength of the product, and skin type, but typically, exfoliating toners come 2-3 times a week. Sensitive skin can start perfecting this regimen once weekly until your skin can acclimate.

Some exfoliating toners are designed for sensitive skin and contain milder acids. Go for products that are gentle or are specifically made for sensitive skin. Always be sure to patch-test a new product before using it/consult with a dermatologist beforehand.

Applying an exfoliating toner in the evening is generally recommended, as it can render your skin more sensitive to the sun. If you are to use it during the day, ensure you have broad-spectrum sunscreen afterwards.

Results may vary from person to person; however, you can expect results after several weeks of regular use for an improvement in skin texture and brightness. Full significant changes, however, may take a few months because the process is gradual. 

Exfoliating toners contain active ingredients like AHAs or BHAs that exfoliate the skin, while regular toners typically focus on hydrating, balancing, and refreshing the skin. Regular toners may not have the same exfoliating properties as exfoliating toners.
