HAPPY CATURDAY! HAVE YOU TRIED ANYTHING FROM SATURDAY SKIN? _______________________________________________________ If Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Pore-Tight Toner belies its shallow, pretty-in-pink packaging with a good-for-skin treatment, Saturday Skin’s Pore Clarifying Toner 10% Glycolic Acid + Pore Control Complex lives up to the silliness — and nothing more. There’s so much wrong with this I was afraid to use it on my face. Not only is it not among the best AHA toners; in fact, it may be one of the worst. With something that could best be described as “skincare terror,” after using it on my face once, I opted to test it on my arms and hands instead. To start, it’s got a 10% level of Glycolic Acid, the strongest of the AHAs. While that may sound potent and appealing, the formulation can’t deliver the exfoliating benefits of Glycolic Acid. Why? Because it’s got a pH level between 5-6. The ideal pH level for Glycolic Acid to work its magic is around pH 3.5. In fact, at a pH 7.0, 100% of the Glycolic Acid is neutralized to salt. So with a pH of around 5.5 in my estimation, the Saturday Skin Pore Clarifying Toner delivers barely any exfoliating benefit to the skin. Oddly, it feels gentle on the skin. And that’s mainly because the Glycolic Acid has been neutralized. It feels more like a conventional hydrating toner. Except it doesn’t even do that very well. The relatively inactive glycolic isn’t the only thing wrong with the formula — and it’s almost a good thing that the pH level isn’t below 4, where the Glycolic Acid would be a potent, effective exfoliant for the skin. Were it so, the irritation the formula would likely induce would be awful. Read more about the 5 exfoliating acid toners featured in this week’s new blog at skincarma.com.

WHAT HAVE YOU TRIED FROM GLOW RECIPE? _______________________________________________________ I’ve long been a fan of Glow Recipe’s clean, K-beauty skin care with a twist. In particular, I love the brand’s Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask and the Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask. As I recall, the Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask was Glow Recipe’s first-ever product. They’ve since gone on to introduce several watermelon-infused products and the newest is the Watermelon Glow PHA +BHA Pore-Tight Toner. Let me get one thing out of the way at the outset. You cannot shrink your pores. You can’t actually tighten them either. You can make them feel tighter and, with acid exfoliation or a Niacinamide serum, you can unclog them so they don’t appear as visible. Like all of the brand’s watermelon-infused products, the Pore-Tight Toner smells like watermelon, though it’s not nearly as apparent as in the other products in the range. Pore-Tight Toner is a light, super watery treatment that also happens to be relatively gentle for an acid toner. The first thing I notice about the Watermelon Glow PHA +BHA Pore-Tight Toner is that the brand had the smarts to replace useless water in the formula with Cactus Extract — which is far more hydrating for the skin. The 2nd ingredient is the brand’s signature Watermelon Fruit Extract, which is deeply hydrating and loaded with nourishing vitamins and amino acids. In terms of acids, Glow Recipe opted for Gluconolactone, a gentle PHA that does triple duty as an exfoliant, moisturizer and antioxidant — and which I estimate is at about a 5% concentration. At a pH between 6-7, the Pore-Tight Toner is in the sweet spot for PHA’s to do their thing.

When I said I didn’t finish anything, it was a lie. I did finish one, the 5ml Pixi Glow Tonic from the Lookfantastic Advent Calendar. This is not that particular bottle of Glow Tonic, because I can’t find it, so I recycled an older picture ... tomayto tomahto.

Here’s a bit of coincidence, I bought this and Kypris that I finished today in the same order.

The pads have a delicious wafer-like texture and are very well soaked. So I can do my face, neck, décolletage, back of the neck and then rub the rest on my arms for good measure. I tried keeping one for a second use but they dry out so meh. It makes my face tingle deliciously. I have two more of these.
