Arcona

My toner turned a strange yellow brown colour yesterday! It’s so strange. It’s just been sitting in my beauty room not that exciting to be used everyday. My friend bought it with me and hers is still pink. I wouldn’t buy it again.

When I bought this, my skin was in serious distress. I had overdone it on retinoids and it was red, dry, flaky and incredibly irritated at the slightest thing. Even my normal moisturizer was too much for it to tolerate. This serum turned all that around. It is very soothing and my skin just drank it up. It helps the skin hold onto moisture and fights back redness. It's going to be a permanent part of my fall/winter skincare routine even now that my skin has calmed down again and can tolerate my other products.

When used every night, this exfoliating treatment tightens and brightens surface skin. I did not notice any effect on older hyperpigmentation, maybe I needed to use it longer (I used one bottle) or perhaps the Solution in its place. It treats active acne effectively, but does nothing for blackheads. I used it in conjunction with the cranberry gommage, 1-2 pumps onto dry skin immediately after cleansing. The packaging is great, one of the best. Airtight pump so the ingredients are not exposed to air or other contaminates. I actually switched over to this after a trial run with DE Froombus(?). I prefer this one, but am still looking for a more suitable treatment.
