"Their press and glow toner is $35, fragrance free and alcohol free, and it comes packaged so you dip your cotton pad in instead of pouring it out, which is convenient. It's an exfoliant acid toner with a very short ingredient list, gluconolactone, which is a gentle polyhydroxy acid, plus a sea extract for antioxidant benefits and aloe for soothing, no fragrance. It's pretty simple and it'll last you quite some time. If you have super sensitive skin or your skin doesn't react well to other AHAs or BHAs, this one's nice. It's great for sensitive skin and very easy to fit into your routine because of how gentle it is, and it's got nice packaging."

"I kind of like medicates pressing glow for this with a Q-tip you want to make sure that you press away"

"Another exfoliant that I really love for people who have dry skin and particularly for people who have dry and sensitive skin is by medicate it's their press and glow PHA tonic"
Yay
"I recommend the Medik8 Press and Glow PHA Toner. That's super gentle. You actually apply it like a toner pad. It contains 5.5% glucono lactone, which is one of the polyhydroxy acids. It's really gentle, and for someone with more eczema, rosacea, and dry skin, I think this is really nice to incorporate into your routine a few times a week. Polyhydroxy acids are more considered [...] a humectant, but over time it can certainly slowly improve that skin texture and skin radiance. This is something I really love if you have sensitive skin."
