CUCUMBER HYDRATION TONER

• Acne-prone or congested skin needing hydration without clogging

• Sensitive, inflamed, or easily irritated skin

• Post-treatment skin (peels, extractions, acne treatments)

• Clients experiencing dehydration from acne products or active treatments

This is one of my go-to toners when a client’s skin is irritated but still breaking out. It hydrates without feeding acne, calms inflammation fast, and helps the skin tolerate corrective treatments better. I often prescribe this when we need to restore balance before pushing actives, or anytime the skin barrier needs support.

• Deuterium Oxide (Heavy Water) has a high molecular weight to deliver moisturize to the skin. It helps prevent trans-epidermal water loss and is resistant to free radical transportation. It is also hydrating.
• Sodium PCA boosts moisture in the skin. This component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF) has a high hydrating power and is nonirritating and non-allergenic. It is a humectant with moisture-binding ability. It is highly water-absorbing and non-comedogenic.
• Cucumber Fruit Extract is used to soothe and cool irritated skin.
• Fructooligosaccharides (D-beta) is a naturally occurring carbohydrate derived from cane or beet sugar and promotes the growth of healthy probiotic bacteria to strengthen skin immunity. It is a humectant and skin conditioning agent.
• GlycodermTM (P) (Water, Honey, Phospholipids, Sphingolipids, and Hyaluronic acid). It restores the lipid barrier of the epidermis and increases water absorption in the corneocytes by adding natural moisturizing factors. It plumps and moisturizes the skin and improves the skin’s ability to hold moisture.
• Borago Officinalis Seed Oil has a high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an Omega 6 essential fatty acid and anti-inflammatory.
