AHA Tonic - our effective AHA toner

Our AHA Tonic is a unique toner with mild fruit acids. The restructuring fruit acid tonic is very well tolerated. It supports the skin's natural acid mantle with mild alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), can promote natural exfoliation and therefore makes it easier for active ingredients to penetrate the skin. Other active ingredients also ensure optimum effects on the skin.

What is a tonic for?

A tonic should be used after every cleansing. It is just as much a part of a balanced facial care routine as the moisturiser itself. But why do you need toner? Not all residues are completely removed during cleansing - so the tonic cleanses the skin again. It also closes the pores so that they cannot become clogged. Toning is therefore the basis for a finely structured and clear complexion.

The combination of active ingredients in the AHA tonic

This toner is based in particular on the regenerating properties of fruit acids, more specifically AHA. AHA stands for alpha-hydroxy acid. These special acids can not only cleanse the skin, but also support skin regeneration.

These AHAs are contained in our toner:

Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring acid (fruit acid). It can be extracted from grapes, vine leaves, rosemary, sugar beet or sugar cane juice. Among other things, the acid can cause horny cells to peel off. To do this, the structure of some proteins that bind the skin cells is changed. Another short-term effect is that the horny layer can be thinned as a result. However, the horny layer is quickly strengthened again: glycolic acid can penetrate into the lowest layer of the epidermis. There it ensures that cell division runs at full speed and can thus effectively stimulate the skin renewal process. The synthesis of collagen and elastin can also be stimulated thanks to the boosted skin renewal process. This means that small wrinkles can be visibly plumped up and reduced. UV-induced pigmentation spots can also be minimised through the regular use of AHAs, especially glycolic acid. Good results are possible here, particularly in combination with niacinamide and vitamin C products.

Tartaric acid

Tartaric acid is also an alpha hydroxy acid, albeit a somewhat gentler one than glycolic acid. The reason for this is that the molecules of tartaric acid are larger, so that it penetrates the skin slowly. Tartaric acid can also dissolve the bonds between cells in the horny layer and thus thin them. The active ingredient also supports the regeneration of the skin. Collagen and elastin production can also be stimulated by the active ingredient. Tartaric acid is also a popular active ingredient for acne. Tartaric acid is used in particular for pigmentation spots such as age spots or acne scars, melasma and skin discolouration, as it can have a skin-brightening effect and make the skin glow. The AHA tonic can therefore contribute to more even and fresher skin.

Malic acid

The malic acid contained in the AHA tonic is another fruit acid. As the name implies, this natural fruit acid is usually extracted from apples. Malic acid also has a horn-dissolving effect. Like the other two active ingredients, it can also unclog pores and prevent blemishes. It can moisturise the skin and boost cell metabolism, which can lead to fresher, younger-looking skin.

Triple AHA power

The combination of AHA acids it contains can ensure that the skin is thoroughly cleansed. AHA acid can also lead to a reduction in keratinised skin, spots, blackheads, acne scars and wrinkles. Radiance also benefits from a fruit acid tonic: fine pores and a radiantly fresh complexion!

Anti-ageing tonic

The white tea contained in the AHA tonic is an anti-ageing active ingredient that can counteract wrinkles. White tea is harvested from the same buds as green tea, but is much more complex to process. White tea also contains caffeine and large amounts of iron, calcium, potassium, fluoride, sodium and zinc. In addition, white tea contains three times as many catechins as green tea! This makes white tea an extra powerful antioxidant. It can neutralise free radicals that can age the skin more quickly. White tea can also have a moisturising effect in our AHA tonic. This effect is supported by the sorbitol it contains. It nourishes the skin and also moisturises. This is a natural way to prevent skin ageing!
