For sensitive skin, start with every other day and gradually increase to daily use if tolerated. Always follow with SPF the next morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does this toner contain alcohol?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol in the formula acts as a preservative to support formula stability. At the concentration used, it does not cause dryness or barrier disruption with regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this toner have fragrance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it has a soft floral scent with rose notes, but it is not artificially fragranced. The aroma comes from natural plant extracts. The formula is allergen-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to use sunscreen when using glycolic acid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — always apply broad-spectrum SPF the morning after using this toner. Glycolic acid (AHA) increases the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation, which can cause sunburn more easily and reverse the brightening results you're working toward.
