🧴 How to use
After cleansing, apply the toner to a cotton pad and gently wipe over the face and neck. S&J Beauty recommends using it morning and evening.
One thing to note: the formula contains ethyl alcohol as well as glycolic and lactic acids, so it may feel more active than a simple hydrating toner. If you’re new to exfoliating acids or have easily irritated skin, starting less frequently and using sunscreen during the day would be a sensible approach.
