Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for mature skin?
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid make this toner a great fit by providing deep hydration to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Niacinamide and Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract also help by adding radiance and antioxidant protection for overall skin health.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
What does Aquagenium do for mature skin?
Aquagenium helps mature skin by boosting the channels that move water deep inside, which keeps dry skin feeling soft and smooth. As skin ages, these water pathways naturally slow down, so mature skin needs ingredients that support hydration and lock in moisture to prevent dryness.
What does Niacinamide do for mature skin?
Niacinamide helps mature skin by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, reducing dark spots, and improving overall skin elasticity. It is also very well tolerated and supports a strong skin barrier to keep skin looking healthy.
Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This hydrating toner goes after cleansing in both your morning and evening skincare routines, fitting right in before your moisturizer. It is very safe for your skin and is unlikely to cause any irritation.
Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this toner with retinol by applying the toner first to hydrate and smooth your skin, followed by your retinol treatment. This approach helps keep your mature skin comfortable and is unlikely to cause irritation.
Cutis, 2006Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
How often should I use this toner?
You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine after cleansing and before your moisturizer. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid help keep your skin deeply hydrated, while niacinamide and laminaria ochroleuca extract may enhance radiance and provide antioxidant protection.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The British Journal of Dermatology, 2002
Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This toner is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on mature skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and relies on hydrating components like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. It does not contain active ingredients that speed up skin cell turnover, so purging is not expected.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
