L21 - Exfoliating Toner
Astringent and formulated with an acidic pH close to that of the skin, the Exfoliating Toner L21 tightens pores, rebalances the skin's pH, and removes lime scale residues, resulting in smoother skin and a more even complexion.
A lotion suitable for uneven skin texture
The Exfoliating Toner L21 is suitable for all skin types. It is particularly well-suited for skin with blackheads or visible pores.
However, we do not recommend it for sensitive and atopic skin due to the high concentration of AHAs, which can cause allergic reactions or irritations.
A watery and light texture
The watery texture of the Exfoliating Toner L21 is very fluid and light. It quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving a sticky or drying finish.
A formula enriched with glycolic acid
Glycolic acid 8%:
Glycolic acid is renowned for its exfoliating power on the upper layers of the skin and its astringent properties (in other words, it tightens the pores). This powerful active ingredient helps to unclog pores and reduces the presence of blackheads, which are caused by the accumulation of sebum in the pores.
Glycolic acid peeling is the most well-known peel for the superficial layer of the skin. Dead cells that are linked together accumulate on the surface of the epidermis. Glycolic acid works by breaking these bonds and allows for their removal. As a result, the skin is left with a rejuvenated, unified, and toned upper layer.
In addition to its exfoliating effect, glycolic acid is also moisturizing due to its stimulating effect on cell renewal and the synthesis of hyaluronic acid.
Lemongrass hydrosol:
Rich in monoterpenols, molecules known for their antibacterial activity, lemongrass hydrosol is renowned for its purifying effect on the skin.
Additionally, its acidic pH helps reduce the appearance of pores. It is therefore particularly recommended for acne-prone skin to prevent the formation of blackheads and comedones.
Vegetable glycerin:
Glycerin helps to capture moisture from the air to ensure superficial hydration of the epidermis.

Precautions for use
Stop using the Exfoliating Toner L21 if you experience any discomfort or irritation.
The Exfoliating Toner L21 contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterward.
To minimize the risk of skin irritation, it is not recommended to apply multiple products containing AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid, etc.) and/or BHAs (salicylic acid) and/or retinoids (retinol, retinol esters, etc.) on the same night. In this case, alternate their use every other day to avoid exacerbating the effects of these active ingredients.

How to apply the Exfoliating Toner L21?
Soak a cotton pad with the Exfoliating Toner L21, then apply it to the entire face, which has been previously cleansed, avoiding the eye area, only in the evening.
Next, apply a serum and a night cream that are suitable for your skin type.
Particles may form at the bottom of the bottle. This is a normal phenomenon related to the high concentration of active ingredients in the product. Shake the product before use.
Who is the Exfoliating Toner L21 for?
The Exfoliating Toner L21 is suitable for all skin types. It is particularly well-suited for skin with blackheads or visible pores.
However, we do not recommend it for sensitive and atopic skin due to the high concentration of AHAs, which can cause allergic reactions or irritations.
Is it safe to use the Exfoliating Toner during pregnancy?
This product is not contraindicated during pregnancy.
What is the pH level of this product?
The pH level is 4.
Is it advisable to use this product every night, or could it be too harsh for the skin?
It is suggested to gradually incorporate this product into a routine and increase the frequency of application based on skin reactivity.
Is this product appropriate for dry skin?
There are no contraindications for dry skin.
How should I store the Exfoliating Toner L21, and is it suitable for travel?
Store the Exfoliating Toner L21 at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Its watery, fluid texture makes it straightforward to travel with — just ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent leakage.
Is the Exfoliating Toner L21 compatible with a retinol product used in the same routine?
We do not recommend using the Exfoliating Toner L21 on the same evening as a product containing retinoids. Combining them may increase the risk of irritation. Alternate their use on different nights to reduce that risk.
Is the Exfoliating Toner L21 suitable for use during summer or in sunny climates?
You can use the Exfoliating Toner L21 year-round, but extra care is required in sunny conditions. Glycolic acid increases skin sensitivity to UV exposure, so daily sunscreen application is essential — and for one week after each use. In high-sun periods, you may also choose to reduce application frequency.
Can I apply a moisturizer immediately after the Exfoliating Toner L21, or should I wait?
Allow the Exfoliating Toner L21 to absorb fully before moving to the next step — typically one to two minutes. You can then apply a serum followed by your night cream as usual.
Will the Exfoliating Toner L21 leave my skin feeling dry or tight after use?
The formula is designed to exfoliate without stripping. Vegetable glycerin draws moisture to the surface of the skin, and the texture absorbs quickly without leaving a drying or sticky finish. Following up with a night cream helps maintain comfort overnight.
Can I use the Exfoliating Toner L21 every evening, or should I start with a lower frequency?
If you are new to AHA exfoliants, start with two to three applications per week and observe how your skin responds. Once your skin has adjusted, you may gradually increase to nightly use. If any redness or tightness appears, reduce frequency and allow your skin to recover.
Can I use the Exfoliating Toner L21 if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend consulting your doctor or dermatologist before using the Exfoliating Toner L21 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. They are best placed to advise based on your individual situation.
Can I use the Exfoliating Toner L21 if I have acne-prone skin?
Yes. The Exfoliating Toner L21 is particularly well-suited for acne-prone skin. Glycolic acid helps unclog pores and reduce the presence of blackheads, while lemongrass hydrosol contributes a purifying effect that may help prevent the formation of comedones.
Can I use the Exfoliating Toner L21 on my neck or body, or is it intended for the face only?
The Exfoliating Toner L21 is formulated for facial use. If you wish to apply it to other areas such as the neck or décolletage, proceed with caution and monitor your skin's response, as these areas can be more reactive. Avoid broken or irritated skin.
How long does one bottle of the Exfoliating Toner L21 typically last?
Usage duration depends on how frequently you apply it and how much product you use per application. With nightly use and a standard-sized cotton pad, most customers find a bottle lasts between one and two months.
