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 thus facilitates the penetration of active ingredients into the skin. Other active ingredients also ensure optimal effects on the skin.

What is a tonic for?

A tonic should be used after every cleansing session. It is as much a part of a balanced facial care routine as the skin care cream itself. But what do you need the tonic for? 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 tonic is based in particular on the regenerating properties of fruit acids, more precisely AHA. AHA stands for alpha-hydroxy-acid. These special acids can not only cleanse the skin, but also support the regeneration of the skin.

These AHAs are contained in our toner:

Glycolic acid

Glycolic acid is a naturally occurring acid (fruit acid). It can be obtained from grapes, vine leaves, rosemary, sugar beet or sugar cane juice. Among other things, the acid can cause the detachment of horn cells. For this purpose, the structure of some proteins that bind the skin cells is changed. Another short-term effect is that the horny layer can be thinned. However, the horny layer is strengthened again quite quickly: 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. Thus, small wrinkles can be visibly plumped up and reduced. UV-induced pigment spots can also be reduced by regular application of AHA, especially glycolic acid. Especially in combination with niacinamide and vitamin C products, good results are possible here.

Tartaric acid

Tartaric acid is also an alpha hydroxy acid, albeit a somewhat gentler one than glycolic acid. This is because the molecules of tartaric acid are larger, so it penetrates the skin slowly. Tartaric acid can also dissolve the bond between cells in the stratum corneum, thus thinning them. The active ingredient also supports the regeneration of the skin. The production of collagen and elastin can also be stimulated by the active ingredient. Tartaric acid is also a popular active ingredient for acne. Tartaric acid is used especially for pigment spots such as age spots or acne scars, melasma and skin discolouration, as it can have a skin-lightening effect and make the skin glow. Thus, the AHA tonic can contribute to more even and fresher skin.

Malic acid

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

Triple AHA Power

The AHA acid combination contained in this product can ensure that the skin is thoroughly cleansed. In addition, AHA acid can lead to a reduction of horny skin areas, pimples, blackheads, acne scars and wrinkles. The radiance also benefits from a fruit acid tonic: fine pores and a radiantly fresh complexion!

Anti-aging tonic

The white tea contained in the AHA tonic is an anti-aging ingredient that can counteract wrinkles. White tea is harvested from the same buds as green tea, but is far 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 faster. 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 it. This is a natural way to prevent skin ageing!
