Gentle Glow Tonic
Description
An acid toner, formulated like no other.
After years of dousing our skin with highly acidic toners that disrupt our natural skin barrier, Nuori formulated this gentle “acid” toner, without the typical acids, allowing us a daily use, without side-effects, thanks to its high-tech formula.
Gentle enough to work for sensitive skin as well, this toner exfoliates and hydrates skin without irritation, for a healthy glow and improved skin texture.
The Gentle Glow Tonic is formulated with an intelligent complex of well- tolerated acids and natural fruit extracts, that offer the same long-term gratifying results as acid toners, without the damaging side effects.
So in case you want to address skin aging, blemishes, dullness, dehydration and visible pores, this toner is your first skincare step, after cleansing your skin.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
2% lactobionic acid: A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) which has larger molecular size than alpha and beta hydroxy acids, meaning it acts the same way as an exfoliator,but mainly on the surface of the skin. It is therefore less irritating. Perfect for gentler formulations.
1 % lactobacillus/pumpkin fruit ferment filtrate: The pumpkin enzymes help to digest proteins that have accumulated on the skin’s surface and are thereby also helping to release trapped bacteria. Enhances cellular renewal through exfoliation for a smoother, even skin texture.
1 % exfo-bio® (cajá pulp extract, mango pulp extract, banana pulp extract): A complex of carbohydrates and natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) that stimulates gentle biological exfoliation, but also boosts the synthesis of the extracellular matrix for firmer and smoother skin.
1% regenine® (tartaric acid, apple fruit extract, lemon fruit extract, grape skin extract, wheat bran extract): A mix of natural extracts able to gently exfoliate and nourish the skin. The naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) effectively peel skin without causing photo-irritation.
Formulated sans Alcohol and fragrance.
How to use
FOR: All skin types
HOW TO USE:
Use once a day, at night. Saturate cotton pad with tonic and apply to cleansed face and neck.
You can also skip the cotton pad and pour the toner on your hands and use the push and press technique, applying it directly to your face.
Let absorb before applying cream or serum.
Shake the bottle before each use to ensure uniform dispersion of natural actives.
Editor's note
Gentle Glow Tonic is a revolutionary product and is in a category of its own, as it is an "exfoliating/acid" toner, but is formulated without… acids. Or at least not the typical acids. NUORI's solution to our need to exfoliate without side effects was to replace glycolic acid and lactic acid with "Lactobionic Acid", the ultimate shine booster, and an innovative complex of highly tolerated fruit extracts with natural AHA content.
So... even though it won't have an instant effect like a powerful AHA/BHA toner that delivers immediate results, this toner is formulated to preserve your skin's acid barrier protection, so you'll be able to see a major improvement with consistent use (3-4 weeks). This minimizes the risks and drawbacks of using a product that's far too strong, which over time could do more harm than good. The result is an innovative exfoliating toner that not only renews the skin's surface, but also nourishes it, improves hydration, and provides healthy, glowing skin. We adore it!

About Nuori
This Copenhagen based brand (NUORI) took on the challenge that no one else would and built a business around “freshness”.
From formulas and protection, to distribution and packaging, everything has been re-imagined optimizing the freshness of their products.
NUORI’s formulations are unique in two distinct ways: active ingredients are not weakened by time-release breakdown and NUORI’s products are 100% natural and free from synthetic preservatives, colorants and fragrances, as well as other chemicals while being 100% efficient.
The Clean Promise.
Unlike other brands, NUORI’s products don’t have a long shelf life this meaning that they won’t compromise the performance and purity of their ingredients.
They freshly blend in small batches every one of their products and each product is clearly marked with this batched number as a sign of commitment to freshness.
Longer shelf lives also mean that most skincare formulas contain not only preservatives, but also various additives such as stabilizers, fillers, color and fragrance enhancers.
And even so, these ingredients don’t prolong the efficiency for much longer and most of them are also toxic.
The packaging is premium protective, minimizing exposure to air, light, bacteria.
All products are free of parabens, mineral oils and petrolatums, PEGs, PPGs, MEA, DEA, TEA, phthalates, silicones and sulfates.
NUORI is cruelty free, vegan (excepting Vital Facial Cream, Lip Treats, Supreme Polishing Treatment, Enriched Hand Lotion, Vital Body Balm and Vital Hand Crème which contain beeswax).
All products are Gluten Free (excepting Shield haircare line that contains a wheat derivative).
