7% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner (AHA)
Smith Farm's exfoliating toner sloughs away the top layers of dead skin cells that can make your complexion look and feel dull, dry and rough. This allows new cells to come to the surface leaving your skin looking fresh, plump and glowing.
They indicate their toner's low-ph level as 3 because the lower the pH, the more active the Glycolic Acid and the more effectively it can penetrate the skin. Glycolic acid needs to be in its most active form to penetrate the skin’s oily outer barrier. This is why you may feel a slight tingle on application.

The strong exfoliating effects of this toner can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Wear sunscreen every day to prevent sun damage.
AHAs and BHAs yield fuller skin when used together, however you don’t want to layer AHAs and BHAs on top of one another. They are both exfoliators, so using both can cause dryness and irritation. Alternate products by using one type in the morning and the other during your nighttime routine or on alternating days.
Apply with a cotton pad to freshly cleansed skin 2-3 evenings a week. Start slowly and work up to more frequent applications according to your skin’s sensitivity.
Follow with moisturizer or for maximum efficacy use alone to allow toner to work overnight at it’s most potent, exfoliating capacity. A tingling sensation is normal. Alternate with BHA's.
