"You've got the REN Ready Steady Glow Daily which is an AHA tonic, it's got AHAs and BHAs such as salicylic acid in there. You've also got lactic acid which is a great AHA to include for people with sensitive skin, and it's also got salicin in there as well which is great for acne prone skin. Unfortunately, although this toner is good, it's good for most skin types, if you've got sensitivity or if you've got problems with things like rosacea, it's got fragrance and perfume in there."

"It's very hydrating, it just really feels amazing on the skin, while the ordinary wasn't doing anything for my skin and my skin felt sticky and dry, with this one my skin felt moisturized. [...] Without question I picked this one because it feels so much better on the skin. [...] This product is definitely a really really awesome product, I think Ren really did a wonderful formulation here."

"With any AHA-based toner, you can basically use it twice a week to exfoliate. That's going to give your skin a chance to replenish itself. It will boost your skin cell turnover so your skin is going to look brighter. Glycolic acid, whether it's in a toner form or a cream form, is going to gently exfoliate your skin so your dead skin is going to get removed and you're going to get your fresh new baby skin, and that is going to overall brighten your skin."

"I do like this as an AHA tonic, but it has azelaic acid in it as well. This is really the only liquid azelaic acid product that I could find. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold up to a lot of those claims. [...] It smells very orange citrusy, and I tend to have more irritation to citrus, so maybe that was another reason that this didn't work for me, but this was just kind of a disappointment from the azelaic acid perspective. [...] For the azelaic acid, I just didn't find this to have the benefits."

What the evidence says.

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

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
