Poured into the palm it is clear and completely watery, and it lands on the face with almost no weight, no scent and no tack — which is why it stays easy to use even on days when your skin is unsettled.

【A formula stripped back to essentials】
Natural water does most of the work, and the only other ingredients are the ones needed to keep the formula stable. The thinking is simply to take out anything you can do without.

【Weakly acidic】
As the name says, this is a weakly acidic toner. The formula is plain, which makes it a sound place for a daily routine to begin.

【The base for your undiluted solutions】
Beyond using it on its own, this toner doubles as the base for blending: drop in whichever solution matches your skin that day, mix, and press it on. In effect you have made a toner tuned to yourself.

【The everyday hydration step】
The texture is light and there is no reason to ration it — pat it on by hand, or lay a soaked cotton pad over the driest areas — laying the ground for the solution and cream that follow.

Suitable for: anyone who wants a plain toner with little added, anyone in the habit of blending their own solutions, and anyone trying to keep a routine short.

How to use: After cleansing, take an appropriate amount into your palm and pat it evenly over the face, or apply it with a cotton pad. Follow with your undiluted solution, then finish with an emulsion or cream. To blend, drop the solution into this toner first, mix, and apply the two together.

Patch-test on the inner arm before first use. If redness, itching or stinging occurs, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
