Babor Exfoliating Toner

The heart of every BABOR formula is visible results. The DOCTOR BABOR CLARIFYING Exfoliating Toner, the successor to the AHA BHA Toner, supports skin renewal and refines the skin's texture with an effective acid combination of 9% AHA (Mandelic Acid), BHA (Salicylic Acid) and PAD (Azelaic Acid Derivative). In addition, nourishing panthenol moisturizes the skin and strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier. Enriched with the DOCTOR BABOR-exclusive BIOGEN PLANT EXTRACT, the crowning glory of Babor research, the skin's own processes are stimulated and thus the youthful agility of the skin is promoted. 100% vegan and free of silicones, parabens, mineral oils, PEGs, microplastics and other unnecessary ingredients, the Exfoliating Toner was developed and perfected by the BABOR experts in the company's own laboratories in Aachen, Germany, according to the ambitious BABOR guidelines for "clean" formulas. Made in Germany is a seal of quality that stands for this product and the entire company. The refreshing formula does not contain any additional dyes or fragrances and can therefore be ideally integrated into the existing care routine.

The 9% AHA BHA PAD complex is composed of the highly concentrated potency of omnipotent acids and panthenol. Mandelic acid acts as a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the top layer of the skin. This gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, which stimulates skin renewal. At the same time, Mandelic Acid helps stimulate collagen production, resulting in improved skin texture and a more even complexion. In addition, the moisturizing properties intensify skin hydration for a supple smooth complexion. The deep-acting salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and has a lipophilic molecular structure, which makes it fat-soluble and better able to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells. Due to this unique mode of action, salicylic acid thoroughly cleanses pores, prevents their clogging and thus reduces the appearance of impurities such as blackheads and pimples. In addition, salicylic acid helps soothe irritated skin, reduce redness and swelling, and minimize existing blemishes. The derivative of azelaic acid is an all-rounder in skin care, known for its antibacterial properties. Due to the better skin compatibility, the skin's sebum production and sebum content are normalized and the clogging of the pores is prevented. The antioxidant properties protect the skin from harmful free radicals and thus prevent premature skin aging. In addition, this derivative has a balancing effect and can help even out hyperpigmentation and dark acne spots for a more even skin tone
As a natural humectant, panthenol ensures the hydration of the skin by attracting moisture, storing it in the skin and thus enabling self-hydration from within. In addition, panthenol strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier and thus helps to counteract moisture loss. As a protective agent, panthenol effectively reduces itching and skin irritation caused by external agents. In addition, the BIOGEN PLANT EXTRACT together with vitamin E protects the skin from harmful environmental influences. The exquisite plant extract from 8 highly potent plants of different genera, which has been researched and constantly improved for 6 decades, is a masterpiece of modern cosmetic research. The synergy of phytochemicals, phenols, flavonoids and other active ingredients revitalizes the skin by protecting against free radicals and oxidative stress. The skin's own processes are improved, while the omnipotent essences have a positive effect on the skin microbiome. With each application, the skin is stimulated for a more vital, strengthened and balanced complexion.
