What the gurus are saying

This toner shines as a makeup primer when layered with other Charlotte Tilbury products, delivering hydration and a fresh, glowing base that gurus found pairs especially well with foundation. The niacinamide and peptides deliver a hydrating feel rather than active exfoliation, so those looking for chemical exfoliants may want to manage expectations on that front. Both gurus praised it specifically for prepping skin before makeup application.

"I've done like an essence, like a hydrating essence from Charlotte Tilbury, the Glow Toner. It's got nice cinnamite in there as well. So, it helps the pores. And I'll use a magic serum, a magic cream from Charlotte. So, I'm going to be glowing and fresh, ready for foundation. [...] I quite like the Charlotte Tilbury range because it's made especially to go under foundations and things like that. So, I find it works better."

"I really do like her skincare products for prepping for makeup. I [...] bought this to try... [...] it has niacinamide peptides supposed to exfoliate a little... [...] it feels really nice actually it feels really hydrating which I like especially for prepping for makeup. I feel like [...] in order for me to have the best results it's fun to do a little bit of a fresher skin prep before going into makeup."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
