Introducing Our Supersonic Glycolic Tonic

Putting acid on your skin might sound scary, but many of your beauty besties will likely contain varieties of acid that are sourced directly from natural substances. In fact, ‘acids’ are having a moment in our skin care conscience, with more and more of us seeking out their benefits. Some of the most recognisable are lactic acid (found in milk), malic (fruit) and salicylic acid (tree bark).

All of these are part of an elite group of gentle, skin-perfecting miracle workers called AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), the queen of these being glycolic acid, which comes from sugar cane. It’s the main act in S&G’s new In the Glow How™ 5% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Tonic, which also contains cooling chamomile, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Glycolic acid is particularly brilliant for wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation and acne-prone skin. Older skin benefits from regular use too, because as we age our skin sheds less frequently (which is why older skin can often appear dull or dry).

Our supersonic tonic is a fantastic glow-giver for all skin types – it will leave skin feeling super soothed, smoothed and radiant, as well as reducing the appearance of pores.
