## How to apply

- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin feels fine.
- Apply your hydrating toner after cleansing and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it ⏱absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
- Applying the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin helps your face absorb it better. This keeps your oily skin balanced and hydrated.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Pixi Glow Mist work for oily acne-prone skin?

Pixi Glow Mist works moderately well for oily acne-prone skin, offering basic hydration and calming benefits while lacking ingredients that directly target breakouts. A product of this type needs a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula with multiple hydrating agents, soothing ingredients, and specific acne-targeting components to provide optimal results for this skin without adding excess oil.
Sources: [Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/)

### Which ingredients make this toner a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?

Propolis extract, niacinamide, and aloe barbadensis leaf extract help make this toner a good fit by offering soothing and calming benefits for your oily skin. To work best for this skin type, a product of this type needs lightweight, non-comedogenic ingredients that deeply hydrate while actively targeting excess oil and breakouts without causing irritation.
Sources: [Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/)

### What does Propolis Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

Propolis extract helps calm breakouts and redness on oily, acne-prone skin while fighting the bacteria that cause pimples. It works to reduce redness scars and clear up lesions, making it a helpful addition to your routine for clearer skin.
Sources: [Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/), [Antioxidants, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40722953/)

### What does Argan Oil do for oily acne-prone skin?

Argan oil may be too heavy for oily, acne-prone skin because oils with certain fatty acid balances can sometimes clog pores and worsen breakouts. To properly care for oily skin, a product needs lightweight, balancing ingredients that help control excess shine without trapping oil.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28707186/)

### Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?

This hydrating toner fits into your morning routine right after cleansing and before your moisturizer, and you can also use it during your weekly routine after a cleansing mask. Oily acne-prone skin needs a product of this type that also includes specialized ingredients to directly target acne and breakouts.

### Can I use this toner with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this toner with retinol by applying the toner first to damp skin and following with your retinol treatment once it absorbs. This product is safe for your skin and helps keep it calm, but an oily acne-prone skin needs a product that includes specialized ingredients to directly target acne and breakouts.

### How often should I use this toner?

You can use this hydrating toner daily in your morning routine after cleansing and before moisturizing. Because it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target breakouts, oily acne-prone skin needs a product of this type that also includes ingredients to clear pores and control excess oil.

### Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

Pixi Glow Mist is unlikely to clog pores or cause purging, but it may cause breakouts for oily acne-prone skin because it contains several oils and can leave an oily residue. An ideal product for this skin needs oil-free or non-comedogenic hydrators along with targeted acne-fighting ingredients to keep pores clear and calm.

### Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
