Ingredients of Pixi Glow Tonic Toner
- Glycolic Acid (AHA): It is a water-soluble alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) found in fruits such as grapes and oranges.

It speeds up cell turnover, exfoliates the skin’s surface, unclogs pores, fades blemishes, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and helps treat hyperpigmentation.
- Aloe Vera Extract: Aloe vera or aloe vera is an old ingredient that has been used since 3500 years ago. It has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, skin-lightening, and healing properties. A few studies have confirmed it as a treatment against psoriasis.
- Witch hazel extract: powerful anti-oxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that scavenge free radicals to reduce damage to skin cells.
- Horse Chestnut Extract: soothes skin.
- Glycerin: moisturizes the skin.
- Fructose, Glucose, Sucrose: Natural sugars help dissolve pathogenic biofilms and balance skin microflora (bacteria and yeast). A biofilm is a thin layer of bacteria that sticks to the skin. Biofilms have been implicated in skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, excretory dermatitis, etc.
- Ginseng Root Extract: lightens dark spots

Experience Pixi Glow Tonic Rose Water
The texture is like liquid water and has a delightful rose scent.
The small bottle will be pretty wasteful and quickly run out if absorbed into the makeup remover cotton. If you want to save money, take a small amount of the product and then apply it to your face with your hands. You can use another affordable-price toner with a cotton pad after washing your face and then use the Pixi Glow Tonic after then. It only takes 2 minutes to absorb into the skin thoroughly.
For the first time using Pixi Glow Tonic, you can feel a slight stinging sensation on your skin.
You can use this toner three times a week to prevent your skin from getting too dry. Using AHAs could make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so do not forget to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
After using Pixi Glow Tonic, you can see your skin brighter, and the patchy red spots disappear. One noticeable thing is that the pores are much smaller, especially the cheeks near the nose, where the most prominent pores are on the face. Acne is also diminishing, especially on the cheeks, forehead, and jawline.
