Essence Resurfacing Toner by Aurélie

Essence Resurfacing Toner

10% niacinamide, pH 5.8

The formula the house was built on, reformulated twice and never diluted. Niacinamide at 10% supports the skin’s own ceramide production and visibly reduces the look of enlarged pores; buffered to pH 5.8, it can be used twice daily without the flushing that a poorly balanced niacinamide causes.

Alongside it, 1% panthenol and a 0.5% blend of polyglutamic acid hold water at the surface, and a whisper of gluconolactone keeps the texture even without the sting of a stronger acid. In a 12-week user trial of 203 volunteers, 91% reported a more even-looking complexion and 68% reported visibly refined pores across the nose and cheeks.

    The encapsulation actually works

    I am a dermatology nurse and I have started and abandoned four retinoids. This is the first one I got past week three with. No flaking, no stinging around the nose, and the texture change on my cheeks was obvious by the second month.

    Six months on the toner

    The 10% niacinamide is the only thing that has ever calmed the redness around my nose without making it worse first. It is not a dramatic product. It is just quietly better every month, and the pH being stated on the bottle is why I bought it.

    Finally a mineral SPF I will wear

    No cast on my skin tone, which has never been true of a zinc sunscreen before. It does take a good minute to blend properly, so take the instructions seriously. The powder layers over it without any mismatch at the jaw.

    They answered my email themselves

    I wrote asking whether I could use the bakuchiol oil while pregnant and one of the chemists replied the next morning with the actual reasoning, not a disclaimer. The oil itself is beautiful - eight drops on damp skin and nothing else needed.
