APLB AHA BHA PHA Centella Facial Toner 160ml

The APLB AHA BHA PHA Centella Facial Toner is a thoughtfully formulated skincare product designed to gently exfoliate, soothe, and prepare the skin for subsequent skincare steps. Packaged in a 160ml bottle, this toner combines chemical exfoliants—AHA, BHA, and PHA—with the calming properties of Centella Asiatica extract to promote a clear, balanced, and healthy complexion.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

• AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid): Water-soluble acids derived from fruits that exfoliate the skin’s surface, promoting cell turnover, improving skin texture, and reducing dullness.
• BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid): Oil-soluble acids, primarily salicylic acid, penetrate pores to clear out impurities, reduce blackheads, and combat acne.
• PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid): Gentle exfoliating acids suitable for sensitive skin, offering hydration and antioxidant benefits while providing mild exfoliation.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: Known for its healing, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, it helps calm irritated skin, promote collagen synthesis, and improve skin resilience.

Uses of the Toner

• Exfoliation: Helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and refine skin texture.
• Preparation: Balances skin pH and prepares the skin for serums and moisturizers, enhancing absorption.
• Soothing: Calms redness and irritation, especially beneficial after exfoliation.
• Acne Prevention and Control: BHA’s pore-clearing action helps prevent breakouts.
• Hydration: PHA enhances moisture retention, maintaining skin’s suppleness.

Recommended Skin Types

Suitable for most skin types, particularly:

• Oily and acne-prone skin
• Combination skin
• Sensitive skin (due to PHA and Centella’s calming effects)

Note: Those with highly sensitive skin should perform a patch test prior to full application to assess tolerance.

Application Process

Step 1: Cleansing

• Begin with a gentle facial cleanser suitable for your skin type to remove surface impurities and excess oil.

Step 2: Toning

• Shake the toner bottle well before use.
• Dispense a small amount (about 3-4 drops or a cotton pad full) onto a cotton pad or directly into clean palms.
• Gently sweep or pat the toner over your face, avoiding the eye area.
• Focus on areas prone to congestion or dullness.

Step 3: Absorption

• Allow the toner to absorb fully into your skin for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Follow-up Skincare

• Proceed with applying serums, treatments, or moisturizers.
• Use sunscreen during the day, especially when using exfoliating products, to protect your skin from UV damage.

Frequency of Use

• Start with 2-3 times per week.
• Gradually increase to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.

Additional Tips

• Avoid using harsh scrubs or other strong acids simultaneously.
• Use sunscreen daily when incorporating chemical exfoliants.
• Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs, and consult a dermatologist if needed.

Summary

The APLB AHA BHA PHA Centella Facial Toner is a multifunctional skincare product that offers gentle yet effective exfoliation, skin-calming benefits, and preparation for subsequent skincare. Proper use can lead to smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin.
