Pixi Glow Tonic 5% Glycolic Acid Toner

Pixi Glow Tonic is Pixi’s cult-favourite exfoliating toner, designed to help skin look smoother, brighter, and more radiant with consistent use. The formula features 5% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that helps lift away dead surface skin cells and support healthy-looking surface cell turnover.

Unlike a harsh stripping toner, Glow Tonic is alcohol-free and balanced with aloe vera to help hydrate and comfort the skin. Ginseng helps energise the look of dull, tired skin, while humectants such as glycerin and butylene glycol help support a fresher feel after cleansing.

For Kenyan shoppers looking for a trusted exfoliating toner, Pixi Glow Tonic fits well after cleansing and before serum or moisturiser. Because it contains glycolic acid, daily sunscreen is important when using it in a daytime routine.
