HYDRATING GLOW TONER

The Mario Badescu Hydrating Glow Toner is a unique product in the brand's lineup, as it is designed as a hybrid between a toner and a serum. It's formulated to not only clarify the skin after cleansing but also to provide a dose of hydration and gentle exfoliation, giving the complexion a radiant, dewy glow.

Key Features and Ingredients

The toner's "dual-action" formula is built on a foundation of hydrating, brightening, and smoothing ingredients:

• Jojoba Seed Oil: This oil is structurally similar to the natural oils produced by the skin, allowing it to provide nourishment and moisture without feeling greasy or clogging pores.

• Sodium Hyaluronate: This is a form of hyaluronic acid known for its powerful hydrating and plumping abilities. It helps the skin to retain moisture, making it appear plumper, smoother, and more youthful.

• Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA): The formula contains Gluconolactone, a type of PHA. PHAs are a gentler alternative to AHAs and BHAs, as their larger molecular size prevents them from penetrating the skin too deeply. This allows for very mild and effective exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells and brighten the complexion without causing irritation.

• Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-10: This peptide works to visibly smooth and rejuvenate the skin, promoting a more even and radiant tone.

Texture and Feel

The Hydrating Glow Toner is not a watery liquid like traditional toners. It has a slightly thicker, milky, or serum-like consistency. When applied to the skin, it provides an instant cooling and refreshing sensation and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and soft without any sticky residue.

How to Use

The toner can be used in your morning and/or evening skincare routine after cleansing.

• With a Cotton Pad: Apply a small amount to a cotton pad and gently swipe it over your face in an outward motion. This helps to remove any final traces of impurities.

• With Hands: For an extra boost of hydration, you can pour a few drops into your hands and gently pat it onto your face and neck.

Who It's For

The Hydrating Glow Toner is a versatile product suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dehydrated skin. It is particularly beneficial for those with dull or lackluster skin who want to achieve a healthy, luminous glow.
