AHA Renewal Toner 8%

Surface exfoliation without skipping the humectant most acid toners leave out.

$42 150ml

8% combined glycolic and lactic acid, buffered to a pH intended for repeated use rather than a single aggressive peel. Both acids work by loosening the bonds between corneocytes at the surface, encouraging more even shedding — they do not reach past the corneum, and nothing about this formula is intended to.

Sodium hyaluronate is included because an acid toner that strips without replacing surface moisture is a formulation shortcut, not a feature.

Built around

Glycolic / Lactic Acid Corneum
Loosens the bonds between corneocytes at the surface, encouraging them to shed more evenly.
Hyaluronic Acid (mixed MW) Epidermis
Higher molecular weights hold water at the surface; lower molecular weights are formulated to reach further into the viable epidermis.
