Glow Tonic: The Skin Care Product You Never Knew You NeededThese 9 acid toners take minimal effort and give maximum results |
Best for treating hyperpigmentation: Biologique Recherche Lotion P50, $67 Glow factor: 4/5
Burn factor: 3/5
What it does: "This company has an incredible reputation," Mitan says of Biologique Recherche, a brand introduced in 1970 that has a cult following today. "They used exfoliator agents (AHAs, BHAs and PHAs) together with purifying lightening and antioxidant ingredients to maximize the potency of the formula."
TotalBeauty's take: So much has been said of this HG toner's strength and scent — it's a favorite product on Reddit's Skincare Addiction subreddit — that I literally held my breath when I applied it. Luckily, the funky scent dissipates rather quickly, and the tingle is so much milder than I anticipated.
