I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to try the Ole Henriksen’s new Glow2OH dark spot toner before it’s official launch and share my thoughts!
What Is It?
It’s a potent toner, saturated with a high concentration of AHAs (glycolic and lactic acids), witch hazel water, lemon, sugar cane, licorice root, chamomile and sandalwood extracts. The solution works to fight dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles while improving the skin’s texture, and tone.
How Does It Work?
AHAs can exfoliate the uppermost layers of skin. This reveals brighter, skin that appears much smoother, is more hydrated. Witch hazel water is an astringent that brightens and tightens the skin. Chamomile and Sandalwood help soothe the skin (brown girl gang you already know 😉)
Is It Worth It?
Okay… moment of truth please…Toner has always been a skincare step I skipped. I never found it to be absolutely crucial. I know! I’m sorry!
So naturally, when I received this product I was a bit skeptical because I never found a toner I love. I’m now eating my words… I honestly LOVE this. You can immediately feel the product begin to work under your skin, with a tingling and rejuvenating feeling (if you have super sensitive skin I would not recommend). The sandalwood and witch hazel are both ingredients I believe in, so I was ecstatic to find out they were a key component in this product. I also love the smell of it; it’s calming and refreshing. Dark spots are not my main concern, but brightness and fine lines are. I’ve noticed a difference in my skin’s texture and tone with just a few uses! I can confidently say, I am a firm believer in toner now.
*The above statement is my true, unbiased opinion, despite receiving these products for free.*
