An Advanced Exfoliating Glycolic Acid Toner
Living in Egypt means battling daily pollution, heat, and humidity, which can leave skin feeling congested, oily, and dull. Finding a toner that does more than just “clean” is essential. Alejon’s exfoliating glycolic acid toner is a multi-action, professional formula designed to resurface, purify, and brighten your complexion all in one step.
How It Works
This toner’s power comes from its intelligent blend of actives. First, Glycolic Acid (an AHA) works on the skin’s surface. It effectively dissolves the ‘glue’ holding dead skin cells, helping to resurface rough texture, fade fine lines, and deeply clear out pores.
This is supported by Retinol, which promotes cellular turnover from a deeper level, further refining pore appearance and improving skin structure. Simultaneously, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) works to control sebum production (critical for our humid climate) and visibly brightens the skin by helping to inhibit pigment transfer. It’s also formulated with Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract to further enhance its brightening properties.
Finally, to keep the skin balanced, Tea Tree Oil and Witch Hazel provide natural astringent and purifying properties. This is all balanced by a hydrating and soothing complex of Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Vera, and Panthenol to ensure skin feels refreshed, not stripped.
Key Benefits
- Visibly refines the appearance of large pores and rough skin texture.
- Helps to fade post-acne marks and pigmentation from sun exposure.
- Controls excess oil and shine, even in high humidity.
- Promotes a clearer, brighter, and more even-toned complexion.
Perfect For
This toner is a powerhouse for those with combination to oily skin, or anyone struggling with clogged pores, dullness, and uneven texture. It is especially beneficial for those living in urban areas like Cairo, where pollution build-up is a daily concern. If you are looking to introduce anti-aging and brightening actives into one simple step, this is for you. (Note: Not recommended for highly sensitive skin.)
How to Use
Use once daily in the evening (PM) after cleansing. Dispense a small amount onto a cotton pad and sweep gently across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Do not rinse. Allow it to absorb for a minute before applying your serum or moisturizer (like a hydrating hyaluronic acid serum).
💚 Professional Insight
This is a potent formula with both Glycolic Acid and Retinol. Start by using it 2-3 times per week at night to build tolerance, then gradually increase to nightly use. Mild tingling is normal. This is not optional: You must use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ every single morning, as these ingredients make your skin highly sensitive to the sun. Do not use this toner on the same night as other strong exfoliants.
