There's a reason why your facialist never skips the important step between cleansing & moisturising. Using a toner completes the cleansing process by removing the final traces of impurities as well as preparing your skin for the rest of your routine, to ensure it's able to make the most of every other product you use. As we get older, loss of collagen can result in enlarged pores, so toning becomes even more important in helping to refine their appearance. Poorly-formulated toners have a reputation for drying out the skin, so your toner, as with all skincare steps, needs to respect the skin rather than harming it. The Replenish Gentle Toner contains a range of natural moisturisers (including Hydroviton 24, a natural moisturising complex that keeps skin hydrated 24 hours a day) to lock-in moisture rather than stripping it away. The Replenish Gentle Toner also contains plant oestrogens (phytoestrogens) of red clover extract to help boost skin's radiance & restore its density & tone as oestrogen levels fall. This is suitable for all skin types but is particularly great for mature skin suffering from a loss of radiance, hydration & tone.
