Prep. Renew. Illuminate.

Start your anti-ageing ritual from the very first step. The APLB Retinol Vitamin C Vitamin E Facial Toner is a lightweight, fast-absorbing toner that primes skin with a trio of powerhouse actives — retinol to renew, Vitamin C to brighten, and Vitamin E to protect — before the rest of your routine even begins. By layering actives from the earliest step, you amplify the efficacy of every product that follows. Use it as the foundation of the complete APLB Retinol routine for visibly firmer, more radiant skin over time.

How to Use

1. Use in your evening routine, after cleansing.
2. Pour a generous amount onto a cotton pad or dispense into clean palms.
3. Cotton pad method: Sweep gently across the face and neck in upward strokes.
4. Hand patting method: Press and pat into skin until fully absorbed.
5. Follow immediately with your serum and moisturiser.
6. If new to retinol, start by using 2–3 times per week and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.

Important: Retinol increases photosensitivity. Always apply SPF 30+ the following morning. Avoid use if pregnant or breastfeeding without consulting a healthcare professional.

Tip: Layer this toner 2–3 times before your serum for an extra hydration and active boost — especially effective on dull or congested skin.

Key Ingredients

• Retinol (Vitamin A) — Gently initiates cell turnover at the toning step, priming skin to better absorb subsequent actives while smoothing texture and refining pores over time.
• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) — Brightens uneven skin tone, targets dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and stimulates collagen production for a more luminous complexion.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — Works synergistically with Vitamin C to enhance antioxidant protection and nourish the skin barrier, stabilising the formula for maximum efficacy.
• Niacinamide — Calms potential retinol-induced irritation, minimises pores, and evens skin tone for a smoother, more refined finish.
• Sodium Hyaluronate — Delivers immediate hydration to keep skin plump and comfortable, counterbalancing the drying effects of retinol.
