Though often overlooked and undervalued, toning is an essential step in any well-considered skin care regimen, and more than a mere bridge between cleansing and hydrating. Aesop’s collection of toners—as with all of the brand’s products—are meticulously formulated, offering an additional layer of support and designed to meet the varying needs of different skin types.
Placing toning back at the very centre of skin care, Aesop’s Immaculate Facial Tonic, as the first toner of the range, not only prepares the skin for further hydration—as the latest addition to the Skin Care+ range, it also provides vitamin-enriched replenishment and gentle chemical exfoliation, helping to clarify and balance skin—evening its appearance and refining its texture over time.
Harnesses generous measures of vitamins, Immaculate Facial Tonic contains both Vitamin B3 and Provitamin B5 in the form of Niacinamide and Panthenol, to replenish and soften the skin, helping to support suppleness and resilience. Formulated with Mucor Miehei Extract—an enzyme renowned for its gentle exfoliating properties, makes the tonic an especially valuable addition to skin care regimens, by supplementing its already significant hydrating benefits with mild chemical exfoliation.
The tonic has a light, aqueous texture with a soft finish, and can be used with a reusable cotton pad wiped gently across the skin to remove any remaining impurities after cleansing, or by splashing the recommended half-teaspoon directly into the palm and gently patting onto the skin—taking care to avoid the eye area—to ideally prepare it for hydration. Gentle enough for daily use, the tonic is suitable for many skin types, including sensitive, and particularly ideal for dry, dull or patchy skin as it helps even its appearance.
The Aesop Immaculate Facial Tonic is available at Aesop signature stores and online.
