WHAT IT DOES

Fades Dark Spots and Pigmentation
Acetyl glucosamine gently exfoliates dead skin cells that hold pigmentation. Niacinamide blocks melanin production. Together, they fade dark spots, sun damage, and post-acne marks gradually and safely.

Evens Skin Tone and Brightens
Acerola cherry (rich in vitamin C), ginger root, and licorice root work together to brighten dull, blotchy skin. Red blotchiness reduces. Yellowing (sallowness) fades. Your overall tone becomes more even and radiant.

Prevents New Dark Spots
Licorice root inhibits melanin and free radical production, stopping new pigmentation before it forms. Your skin gets brighter and stays brighter.

Hydrates and Preps Skin
Panthenol, beta glucan, and hemp seed extract add lightweight hydration. Your skin barrier strengthens. Serums and moisturisers absorb better when applied on top.

Tones Without Drying
Witch hazel and acerola cherry act as natural astringents to tone and refine pores. No alcohol. No stripping. Just balanced, toned skin.

Strengthens Barrier and Reduces Irritation
Niacinamide and beta glucan repair and strengthen your moisture barrier. A healthy barrier prevents the irritation that can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

THE EXPERIENCE

After cleansing, apply this toner with a cotton pad or your fingertips. The watery liquid feels fresh and clean. Cotton pads help remove any remaining grime while delivering brightening actives.

There's no scent—just a clean, natural feel. As you pat it on, you might notice a slight cooling sensation. Refreshing, not irritating.

It absorbs quickly. Within 30 seconds, it dries completely. If you apply your serum right away (which we recommend), your skin feels smooth and primed. If you wait for it to fully dry, it may feel slightly tacky—but that disappears as soon as you layer serum on top.

Use it morning and night after cleansing. It layers beautifully under the Glow Serum or any other treatment. No pilling. No interference.

After consistent use (4-6 weeks), dark spots lighten. Tone evens out. Blotchy, dull skin transforms into a brighter, clearer, more radiant complexion.

Why It Works:

Key Active Ingredients:

Acetyl Glucosamine (5%)
An amino sugar with gentle exfoliating properties similar to AHAs but less irritating. Found naturally in your skin's moisturising factor. Removes dead skin cells that hold pigmentation, fades dark spots, and improves texture. Works synergistically with niacinamide for enhanced brightening.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) (4%)
Blocks melanin production, lightens existing dark spots, strengthens skin barrier, reduces inflammation, minimises pores, and improves elasticity. Scientific studies show niacinamide reduces hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, fine lines, and skin sallowness (yellowing).

Licorice Root Extract
Natural tyrosinase inhibitor that blocks melanin and free radical production. Stops new dark spots from forming while existing pigmentation fades. One of the most effective natural brighteners. Also calms redness and inflammation.

Ginger Root Extract
Powerful skin-toning and antioxidant ingredient. Reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and scars. Improves circulation and promotes even tone.

Acerola Cherry Extract
One of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. Brightens skin, fades dark spots, and provides antioxidant protection. Also acts as a natural astringent to tone and refine pores.

Beta Glucan
Barrier-boosting, skin-repairing powerhouse. Hydrates, plumps, calms inflammation, and strengthens barrier function. High in antioxidants.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Soothes irritation, improves moisture retention, and prevents water loss. Keeps skin soft, supple, and comfortable while brightening actives work.

Hemp Seed Extract
Rich in omega fatty acids. Hydrates, soothes, and regulates oil production. Non-comedogenic and perfect for all skin types.

Witch Hazel Extract (Alcohol-Free)
Natural astringent that tones skin and improves elasticity without drying. Refines pores and calms inflammation.

Allantoin
Soothes and calms irritated skin. Promotes healing and helps prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Aloe Vera Juice
Base ingredient that hydrates, soothes, and heals. Anti-inflammatory and perfect for sensitive skin.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress and supports skin repair.

What Makes This Different:

Fresh-Made in Sydney, Not Mass-Produced
We make this tonic fresh to order in small batches. Your brightening actives are at peak potency when they reach your skin. Most toners sit in warehouses for months, losing effectiveness. Ours doesn't.

Made Fresh in Sydney
Clean formulas, no nasties. Vegan, cruelty-free, and crafted with botanical actives.

Gentle Brightening, Real Results
5% acetyl glucosamine and 4% niacinamide deliver professional-strength brightening without harsh hydroquinone or strong acids. Safe for sensitive skin, pregnancy, and daily use morning and night.

Supercharged When Paired
Acetyl glucosamine and niacinamide are more effective together than alone. This scientifically-backed combination fades pigmentation faster and more completely.

Preps Skin for Better Absorption
This isn't just a toner—it's a treatment step. It hydrates, brightens, and preps your skin barrier so serums and moisturisers absorb better and work more effectively.

HOW TO USE & WHAT TO EXPECT

When to Use:
Morning and evening after cleansing.

---

How to Apply:

1. Cleanse your face and gently pat dry.
2. Apply toner using a cotton pad or your fingertips. Sweep over your entire face and neck, avoiding the under-eye area.
3. Cotton pad method: Helps remove any remaining grime while delivering brightening actives.
4. Finger method: More economical and gentle for sensitive skin.
5. Don't rinse. Let it absorb for about 30 seconds (or apply serum immediately—you don't need to wait for it to fully dry).
6. Follow with Glow Serum and Antioxidant Moisturiser.

Morning: Always follow your routine with SPF 30 or higher to prevent new pigmentation.

Pro Tip:
Apply your serum immediately after the tonic while skin is still slightly damp. You don't need to wait for it to fully dry. This prevents any tackiness and helps serums absorb better.

What to Expect:

Immediately:
Skin feels refreshed, clean, and slightly hydrated. The cooling sensation is calming. Your face feels toned and ready for the next step.

Within 2-3 Weeks:
Early brightening becomes visible. Skin tone looks more even. Blotchy patches start fading. Overall radiance improves.

Within 4-6 Weeks:
Dark spots visibly lighten. Post-acne marks fade. Dull, sallow skin brightens. Red blotchiness reduces. Complexion is noticeably more even and luminous.

Within 8-12 Weeks:
Maximum brightening results. Stubborn dark spots continue fading. Skin tone is significantly more even. Overall complexion is brighter, clearer, and more radiant. With continued use and daily SPF, results are maintained.

Remember:
Pigmentation fading is gradual. Acetyl glucosamine and niacinamide work by blocking new melanin production and gently exfoliating pigmented cells. This takes time—typically 4-6 weeks for visible results, 8-12 weeks for maximum brightening. Consistency and daily SPF are essential. Use this tonic morning and night, and your skin will respond with lasting brightness and even tone.
