A generic rose water or rose and glycerin toner won't have an acid ingredient and won't do the same job at all.

When I applied this on my hand or Cotton Pad, I could tell that it had a slightly watery feel to it. A skincare stalwart that first launched in 1999, the cruelty-free brand’s most famous product has now gathered a massive 2. Coming in a tall bottle complete with signature green Pixi label and lid, glow tonic offers liquid exfoliation, thanks to key active glycolic acid. Other than having a good safety profile and being quite gentle to the skin it has some other advantages too.This Pixi glow tonic dupe shares glycolic acid and aloe vera ingredients in common with the original and we can see a close similarity between the two bottles too. Yet no matter how clean I thought my face was, the Pixi product managed to find and remove some last bits which always amazed me. It can be used in many types of formulations as it has great thermal stability (can be heated up to 85°C) and works on a wide range of pH levels (ph 3-10). There’s a balancing effect we saw immediately after use, and we noticed a softness too, plus the residue left on our pad was pretty satisfying. It’s a solid white stuff that’s very alkaline and used in small amounts to adjust the pH of the product and make it just right.

I had seen that their version of the original was flying off the shelves, and they have now released a copy of the rose infusion. The formula is designed to cleanse and nourish skin while deep-cleaning pores, aiding in the removal of grime and dirt. Boots also have an offer on the Soap and Glory version at the mo, though I haven't used that one personally.It’s often used together with ethylhexylglycerin as it nicely improves the preservative activity of phenoxyethanol. One product which really made me stand up and take note is the newly released Lacura Healthy Glow Exfoliating toner. I’ve had face oils before – including a Tarte ‘Rainforest of the Sea’ one, and all of them have just been really greasy and not particularly nourishing. I have used it on my face, legs and hair, but I tend to use it only on my hair as its a small bottle and for me personally, it works best on keeping my hair ends soft.
