Important note from your beauty expert

The Calming Toner is a often underestimated, but essential step in a professional skincare routine. Many people skip toner, but it is especially important for sensitive, reactive, and post-procedure skin. After cleansing, the skin's pH is often disrupted – a pH-balanced toner restores the optimal environment for active ingredient absorption. The Calming Toner is Non-alcoholic and therefore does not irritate, unlike many astringent toners on the market. It is a Central component of the Redness Relief + Barrier Defense Program and is excellent for anyone suffering from Rosacea, couperose, or generally sensitive skin for optimal results before applying Rozatrol® or Daily Power Defense.
