The alcohol-free toner that refines pores and smooths skin texture. Active Pureness Toner by [comfort zone] is an exfoliating and purifying tonic lotion formulated with 3% gluconolactone. Used morning and evening after cleansing, it completes the makeup removal process, unclogs pores, and visibly reduces their appearance—without the drying effect of alcohol-based toners.
Who is it for?
Oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin, including acne-prone skin. A unisex formula, particularly suited to men's skin and hot, humid climates.
The benefits
-
Astringent action without alcohol — tightens the appearance of pores without causing a rebound effect.
-
Gentle daily exfoliation — removes dead skin cells and buildup of oxidized sebum, the source of blackheads.
-
Smoother skin texture, clearer complexion — skin appears smoother, more matte, and more luminous.
-
Prepares the skin — improves the penetration of the serum and moisturizer applied afterwards.
How it works
-
3% Gluconolactone — a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) with a gentle exfoliating action that combats hyperkeratosis stimulated by oxidized sebum in the hair follicle. PHAs have a larger molecule than classic AHAs, meaning they penetrate more slowly for better tolerance.
-
Arginine — an amino acid found in the NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factors). It neutralizes the acidic pH of the gluconolactone and provides a moisturizing effect.
-
Mangosteen extract (Garcinia mangostana) — rich in alpha-mangostin, tannins, and flavonoids for antioxidant and antibacterial action.
How to use
Morning and evening, after cleansing, apply to a cotton pad and sweep over the entire face, avoiding the eye area. Follow with your serum and then your moisturizer.
Good to know: the percentage of gluconolactone makes it suitable for use in the summer, but applying sun protection in the morning remains recommended.

Frequently asked questions
Does this toner dry out the skin?
No. It is alcohol-free and contains arginine, a moisturizing agent from the skin's NMF that balances the exfoliating action.
Can it be used every day?
Yes, morning and evening. Gluconolactone is a PHA designed for daily use.
Is it suitable for sensitive, oily-prone skin?
PHAs are the best-tolerated exfoliating acids. Introduce it once a day for the first week, then move to morning and evening.
Can it be combined with retinol or another acid?
Yes, by alternating the application times (toner in the morning, strong active ingredient in the evening) to avoid overloading the skin.
