AOA Skin Exfoliating Toner

every order I place includes a bunch of these, I can't NOT get more! really refines my skin and gives a beautiful glow. every time I don't use it for a few days, it's NOTICEABLE. big improvement in my skin's texture and evenness, as well as clarity. I also use this before and after I dye my eyebrows to prime and then remove the dye that's gotten on my skin. wonderful product!

I didn't love this on the face simply because it was a little too gentle for me (i can go harsh with acids, retinol (separate nights from acids), and vitamin c with rarely any problems.) But, when trying to decide what to do with the rest of what i bought i decided to try it on my scalp, given i have had chronic dandruff since i age 7, and BHA is sometimes used for that.

I shampoo with my usual dandruff shampoo (active is zinc), rinse, then apply a fair amount of this exfoliant directly on the scalp. Leave it in for a few minutes while doing other shower stuff, then rinse quickly with water (if you don't rinse at all it kinda makes your roots feel like they have been hairsprayed.) Its really reduced the visible amout of dead skin coming off in the day after a shower!

The funny thing is, i noticed that if i use this, I don't have to use conditioner after to avoid my hair being tangled! I suspect this has to do with shampoo being basic in Ph and that raising the hair cuticle makes it tangle easier, and this being an acid helps reset and smooth things.

I will say, I've got kinda wavy but mostly straight hair that doesn't need a lot of outside moisture, and up until now i really only needed conditioners for tangle reduction, so ymmv. But, I'm very happy with how this has helped my scalp and simplified my routine in the year+ since i first used it in this fashion. I just placed an order to majorly stock up because its a staple now!

Nice feel, don't know if it worked but it feels nice

I was nervous to try this toner at first because i have sensitive skin. After cleansing my face i used this toner and this toner did NOT STING OR IRRITATE my dry skin. My face looks much smoother and I can feel it working to exfoliate and shed of dead skin cells. I do wish there was more product in it. I will be buying a bundle now, i think its better than the expensive brand named ones

This has the same active ingredients than GLOW RECIPES WATERMELON TONER ! This is 1 of my anti aging secrets I love this exfoliating toner so does my granddaughter who has acne .
