+ What are the key benefits of the Rooibos Glow Toner?
The Rooibos Glow Toner offers a light exfoliation due to the PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) which gently exfoliates and hydrates the top layer of skin. It is infused with 1% PHA, Hyaluronic Acid, Kombucha and African Rooibos Leaf Extract to protect the skin barrier by balancing skin pH. Designed to visibly even skin texture and gently exfoliate to boost skin cell regeneration. Powered by anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, this toner removes additional impurities while hydrating and restoring the skin.

African Rooibos Leaf Extract is an African botanical that offers antioxidant properties. In this toner it can help offer a soothing effect while also protecting the skin from any environmental stressors.
Kombucha contains natural probiotics that balances the skin's pH, hydrates skin, and keeps skin supple and soft. Using it in a toner helps ensure skin is balanced and well hydrated for the next steps of the skincare routine.
