8 tonic with acids for daily care
Margarita Virova
We already wrote about why we need tonics. - and they mentioned that the most independent products in this category are just products with acids. Such exfoliating products take the daily care to a new level: it is easy to use them, and the skin is better renewed with their help. We remind you that, using acids in the spring, we must not forget about sunscreens - and show the best tonics for every taste and budget.
Pixi Glow Tonic
1444 rub.
What can be said about the new legend? This tonic does not leave the top lines of cosmetic ratings and continues to conquer the hearts of bloggers, simply because it works. Alcohol-free exfoliating agent with 5% glycolic acid in the composition is perfectly integrated into the daily care, gradually makes the complexion smooth and slightly smoothes the skin. It suits almost everyone: at least, its users with different initial data and needs praise it. Starting to try this category of products well with it.
Clarins Gentle Exfoliator
2150 rub.
Another well-known tool is Clarins toner, made with an eye on Asian products; It works great, but not for everyone. The product contains fruit acids at home concentration, but if the skin is sensitive, it can cause slight peeling: there is alcohol in the composition, so it is better to test before buying. On unpretentious skin works wonders and acts gently, while its color and texture evenly aligned after a week of use.
Biologique Recherche Lotion P50
4200 rub. for 100 ml in the salons "Le Colon"
One of the main products of the brand is not to be found in the public domain - this lotion is available in specialized salons and costs serious money. Nevertheless, he will recoup all the efforts spent on acquiring banks. The duet of lactic and salicylic acids is responsible for peeling here - they act seriously, so you need to be careful with the dosage. With daily use, there is a tremendous cumulative effect: this thick liquid accelerates post-acne healing, significantly reduces the appearance of new inflammations and balances the condition of the skin as a whole - especially oily.
Lumene Bright Touch Clarifying Toner
350 rub.
An excellent tool of the Finnish brand, made back in the era before the rebranding (the price, by the way, is also from the past). Its exfoliating effect is not explosive, but sufficient - provided that you use tonic as an additional stage of care. The tool is hypoallergenic, and the concentration of acids in it is low, so you can apply it safely. Many have noted the good moisturizing properties of toner, so for skin prone to overdrying, this is an excellent compromise.
Etude House AC Clean Up Toner
1580 rub.
Speaking of exfoliating toners, one can not do without mentioning the Korean manufacturers. This toner Etude House is a clear and effective remedy with salicylic acid. It is often recommended for acne, but it will definitely suit the owners of oily skin without strong eruptions - at least, it most clearly balances the production of sebum. Tea tree oil in the composition is alarming (depending on its own composition, this component can irritate the skin), but in general the product is not aggressive. It is best to use it in areas that begin to shine before others - for most of us, this is the so-called T-zone.
Mizon AHA & BHA Daily Clean Toner
1220 rub.
Another toner with a killer composition - while using it is not at all difficult. From the name it is clear that fruit acids and all the same salicylic acid are waiting inside. The tool does not desiccate the skin, despite the presence of ill-fated alcohol, but it is better not to apply it to the existing inflammation and redness. Daily application provides all the same desired effect (again cumulative): the skin becomes smoother, irregularities are gradually "erased."
Noreva Laboratories Exfoliac Lotion
about 1000 rubles
Lotion from the excellent Exfoliac line has disappeared literally from everywhere, but if it catches your eye, you definitely need to take it. AHA-acids in this tonic are contained in a serious concentration of 12.5%, so you shouldn’t use it for a long time without consulting a cosmetologist, especially if you are treating acne. Nevertheless, when properly administered, this remedy is an excellent assistant not only of the face, but also of the body. Other tools in this series are worthy of no less attention, but also require a conscious approach and the most forgetful will not work.
COSRX AHA / BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
1550 rub.
This Korean toner is another worthy representative of the Korean cosmetics family. The effect he, like other non-professional means, albeit not cosmic, but noticeable - especially with regular use. Specifically, this tool is also packaged perfectly: a toner dispenser is a sprayer, which is usually the case with sprays. This is unusual, but applying the product in this way is really more convenient, and the consumption does not increase at all - perhaps even the opposite.
