As the successor to the AHA BHA Toner, the DOCTOR BABOR CLARIFYING Exfoliating Toner supports skin regeneration and refines the skin texture with a highly effective acid blend of 9 per cent AHA (mandelic acid), BHA (salicylic acid), and PAD (azelaic acid derivative). It also contains panthenol, which nourishes and moisturizes the skin and strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier. Enriched with the exclusive DOCTOR BABOR BIOGEN PLANT EXTRACT, the skin's natural processes are stimulated, thus promoting the skin's youthful agility. The 9 per cent AHA/BHA/PAD complex packs a punch with the highly concentrated power of omnipotent acids and panthenol. Mandelic acid acts as a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the top layer of skin, removing dead skin cells and stimulating skin regeneration, while also helping stimulate collagen production for improved skin texture and a more even complexion, and intensifying skin hydration. As a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), the deep-acting salicylic acid's lipophilic molecular structure makes it fat-soluble, enabling it to efficiently dissolve sebum and dead skin cells, cleanse the pores thoroughly, and reduce the appearance of blemishes such as blackheads and pimples, while also soothing irritated skin and reducing redness and swelling. The azelaic acid derivative is known for its antibacterial properties, normalizes the skin's sebum production, prevents pores from clogging, protects the skin from harmful free radicals, and may help soften hyperpigmentation and dark acne spots. As a natural humectant, panthenol hydrates the skin, strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier, and effectively reduces itching and skin irritation caused by external influences. BIOGEN PLANT EXTRACT and Vitamin E protect the skin against harmful environmental influences; the plant extract is derived from 8 highly potent plants of different genera, and its synergy of secondary plant substances, phenols, flavonoids, and other active ingredients revitalizes the skin by protecting it from free radicals and oxidative stress, while positively affecting the skin microbiome. The latest generation of skin-refining facial toners for a demonstrably smoother complexion, refined pores, and softened blemishes. A soft, fast-absorbing texture meets high-performance ingredients to support skin regeneration processes for a clearer complexion.
