Details & care
What it is: A toner that helps you achieve more radiant, glowing skin.
Who it's for: Anyone with combination or dry skin types.
What it does: Glycolic acid and grapefruit extract, both alpha-hydroxy acids, work together to exfoliate and refresh dry, clogged skin, while additional ingredients help minimize discoloration, soften the look of fine lines and reduce pore congestion that can make skin look tired and dull.
How to use: Twice daily after cleansing, apply to skin with a cotton ball or pad. Wipe in sweeping, outward motions until the cotton comes up clean. Avoid eye area. If product gets into eyes, rinse well with water.

I Wouldn’t Be Without It!!
I’ve been using Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner for quite some time, and I can honestly say it’s terrific at lightening, and in some cases actually eliminating dark spots on my face. I wouldn’t be without it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is so heavily floral/rose scented. I tried it twice but couldn’t get past the smell and threw it away.
