Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore Tight Toner is a gentle watermelon toner that exfoliates to clear clogged pores, hydrates skin, and tightens the appearance of pores giving you smoother and plumper skin. Key Ingredients: - Watermelon Extract helps to hydrate soothe skin while improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots - Cactus Water rich in electrolytes amino acids that hydrate help retain moisture - PHA help to resurface smooth skin, while also removing buildup of dead skin cells - BHA helps to decongests clogged pores reduce the appearance of pores blackheads - Tea Tree Extract has antimicrobial properties that help clean pores soothe irritation This is a thicker toner, and sticky, than I’m generally used to. It’s bouncy but also viscous due to the cactus water. It absorbs into skin fairly quickly and provides a great layer of hydration. My skin is noticeably brighter and I have noticed the appearance of my pores tighten over time. It does contain fragrance, though it is low on the list. At times I do find the scent to be a bit overpowering as it does linger for sometime once it has absorbed. This is a very gentle exfoliator. I would personally recommend this to those just starting exfoliates or those who have sensitive dry skin. PROS: - Parabens, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Silicones, Phthalates, Drying Alcohol - Doesn’t irritate my skin or cause breakouts - Tightens my pores slightly - Hydrates skin - Soothes Calms redness in cheeks - Skin is brighter - Controls excess oil . CONS: - Contains fragrance. But it is low on list. - Scent can be strong at times - Bottle is heavy and not travel friendly - Price is a bit steep in my opinion for full size so I shop around and get a deal.
