Lemon Toner
Description
Step into a revitalizing skincare journey with our Lemon Toner from the Forte Illuminante Collection, your Facial Step 2 in the Irene Forte Spa Protocol.
Uniquely formulated with a triple-blend of Italian Alpha Hydroxy Acids - Tartaric, Malic, and Citric - this toner gently exfoliates while simultaneously purifying and balancing your complexion.
Enriched with the calming properties of Witch Hazel Water and Rose Water, it infuses a soothing touch, particularly beneficial for sensitive skin types.
The added Saccharide Isomerate works as a 'moisture magnet', binding hydration to your skin for a sustained, dewy radiance.
Experience a brighter, hydrated, and purified complexion with this essential skincare product, suitable for all skin types, especially those prone to oiliness, dullness, or fatigue.
Key Ingredients:
Triple-AHA Complex: A potent blend of Italian Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Tartaric Acid from Emilia-Romagna Grapes, Malic Acid from Alto-Adige Apples, and Citric Acid from Sicilian Lemons) that gently exfoliates and nourishes your skin.
This remarkable mix aids in skin renewal, protects collagen, and stimulates fibroblasts to produce new fibrils, leading to a rejuvenated complexion.
Witch Hazel Water: A robust antioxidant, packed with Oligomeric Tannins, Witch Hazel Water protects your skin from free radicals while offering purifying, balancing, and soothing benefits.
Saccharide Isomerate: Referred to as a 'moisture magnet', this skin-identical carbohydrate complex derived from corn, has a natural affinity to the skin, ensuring lasting hydration.
Rose Water: A natural antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, Rose Water also has soothing properties, making it ideal for sensitive skin due to its astringent qualities.
How to use
FOR: all skin types, including congested, dull, combination, oily, sensitive
Apply to the face, neck, and décolleté with a cotton pad.

Editor's note
This beautifully aromatic toner is reminiscent of a serene spa setting.
Best used at night due to its acid content, it's not recommended as a facial mist. If you're looking for a toner to use as a mist, opt for Irene Forte's Helichrysum Toner.

Dr. Francesca Ferri & Irene Forte
Under the expert guidance of Dr. Francesca Ferri, Irene Forte Skincare thrives in the intersection of scientific innovation and natural beauty.
Dr. Ferri's astounding scientific pedigree, boasting over 35 years of skincare research and development, underpins the brand's high-performing formulations.
Dr. Ferri’s achievements are truly exceptional, from the discovery of the medical benefits of extracts from Mahonia Aquifolium, to the development of a patented extraction technique for plant-based melatonin, known as Phytomelatonin, a game-changer in anti-ageing cosmetics.
One of her most notable contributions is the incorporation of Myoxinol™ into Irene Forte Skincare's formulas, a natural alternative to Botulinum toxin derived from Hibiscus Esculenta Seeds that smooths wrinkles and lines.
In Dr. Ferri's words, "I am very passionate about creating products that achieve results, preserve health, and that also have beautiful organoleptic properties... Being able to create this type of cosmetic is a very special thing, and this is why I believe fragrance is so important for a product."
This ethos, a blend of scientific rigor, sensory delight, and a commitment to 'psycho-cosmetics', embodies the core philosophy of Irene Forte Skincare, making it a skincare brand like no other.
