Good to know

  • Contains capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA) and a little lactic acid
  • Contains three forms of vitamin C
  • Abib describe it as fragrance-free
  • Contains chitosan; its source is not stated
  • Box warning: for external use only; keep out of eyes; discontinue use if irritation or rash occurs

Is it an exfoliating toner?

Partly. It contains two exfoliating acids, LHA and lactic acid, and Abib say it helps remove dead skin cells. Abib do not state the amounts. We stock it as a daily brightening toner with some exfoliation, not as a peel. If you already use an acid toner or pads, choose one or the other.

How much glutathione does it contain?

Abib do not say. Glutathiosome is Abib's name for its glutathione, which appears on the ingredient list simply as glutathione. We treat it as a supporting brightening ingredient alongside niacinamide and vitamin C, not the main reason to buy it.

Can sensitive skin use it?

It is not one we would recommend first for sensitive skin, because it combines LHA, lactic acid and three forms of vitamin C. If your skin is only occasionally reactive, patch test, start once a day and keep the rest of your routine simple while you introduce it.

Can I use it with retinal or a vitamin C serum?

With retinal, use them at different times of day: this toner in the morning, retinal at night. It already contains three forms of vitamin C, so a separate vitamin C serum is optional rather than needed.

Does it suit oily skin?

It can. It is a light toner, and Abib say it helps remove excess sebum. It is a brightening toner for the look of dark spots, though, not a treatment for breakouts.
