ACB Hydrobalance™ Toner

ACB Fruit Mix: Natural glycolic and lactic acids gently exfoliate for radiant skin.

• Glycolic acid has been clinically proven to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and increase collagen synthesis at 5-10% concentrations
• Lactic acid offers similar exfoliation benefits but is generally gentler with additional hydrating properties
• Both acids are backed by strong clinical evidence for effective chemical exfoliation.

Niacinamide: Reduces redness and evens tone while protecting against environmental stress.

• Clinical studies show 2-5% niacinamide significantly reduces hyperpigmentation and improves skin barrier function
• Research published in the British Journal of Dermatology demonstrated 4% niacinamide reduced yellowing, redness, and hyperpigmentation after 8 weeks of use
• Also known as vitamin B3, it has well-documented anti-inflammatory properties.

Harnsoff pH: Maintains optimal pH balance for a healthy skin barrier.

• Scientific research confirms skin’s natural pH ranges from 4.7-5.75, with optimal barrier function around 5.5
• Maintaining proper pH helps preserve the acid mantle that protects against pathogens and environmental damage
• pH-balanced formulations support healthy skin microbiome.

Allantoin: Promotes cell renewal and soothes sensitive skin.

• Recognized by the FDA as an official skin protectant
• Studies show it increases water content in the extracellular matrix and promotes epithelial cell proliferation
• Demonstrated wound healing properties at concentrations of 0.5-2%.

Glycerin & Pentylene Glycol: Draw in moisture to keep skin hydrated and supple.

• • Glycerin is one of the most extensively researched humectants in skincare
  • Studies show glycerin increases stratum corneum hydration and improves skin barrier function at 3-10% concentrations
  • Pentylene glycol functions as both a humectant and preservative enhancer with antimicrobial properties that help maintain product stabilit.
