Transparent Lab - skincarewithjelena review for Balancing Peel - Peeling Toner

Key ingredients: 10% Chamomile Water 5% Glycolic Acid 2% Salicylic Acid 0,5% Lactic Acid 0,5% Mandelic Acid This is an affordable and simple exfoliating toner. It contains a mix of AHA and BHA exfoliants, and Chamomile water for soothing. Texture is watery with a slightly oily feel, but it absorbs fast without feeling oily. This is fragrance free. This is my first time using such a potent exfoliant and I have to say that this made a huge difference in my skin texture. It's recommended to use this 1-2 times per week and this is enough to see results. The first time I applied this it burned my skin a lot, but it stopped after 15-20 minutes. And with consistent use my skin was becoming more resilient and now it doesn't burn at all. And no, this didn't damage my skin barrier, I could use other actives next day without any issue. I like to pair this with other soothing products and it works great. My skin feels incredibly smooth the next day. I was so impressed with the results after only a few weeks. Because it contains both AHA and BHA it's perfect for those who struggle with hyperpigmentation, large pores and blackheads. 2% of BHA is perfect for clearing out pores, while Glycolic Acid fades dark spots. Note: Some people are saying that this foams up while applying. That can happen if you're using thick cotton pads to apply, and let it dry completely before using the next product. If you like strong exfoliants I highly recommend this!
