USE IT or LOSE IT: PIXI beauty by petra – PIXI GLOW tonic by petra review

Glow-giver brightens, tones and conditions your skin after cleansing. Enriched with 5% glycolic acid – a natural derivative of sugar cane, and member of the alpha-hydroxy acid family – this gentle, exfoliating formula dissolves the bonds binding dulling dead cells to skin’s surface, to reveal the ‘new’ healthy skin cells underneath. Aloe then soothes and hydrates while oxygenating ginseng promotes cell health and skin vibrancy; witch hazel firms and tones, while horse chestnut boosts blood flow, to grant your complexion a naturally fresh and dewy radiance. Astonishingly affordable, this is mild yet effective, making it suitable for all skin types – just apply a few drops to a cotton wool pad, and sweep all over skin after cleansing (morning and evening) to gradually diminish signs of sun damage, fine lines, scarring and other imperfections. (please bear in mind the one that in BOLD, so you can refer to it later on when you buy beauty products).

When the sister of {Pixi}’s creator – a trained aesthetician and facialist to Sweden’s A-list – requested a skin care line she could use in her specialist treatments {Pixi}’s ‘skintreats’ were born. A beauty blogger favourite (skin care guru Caroline Hirons is a big fan), the brand’s bestselling Glow Tonic is a resurfacing and revitalising toner – infused with glycolic acid and soothing aloe vera – to quickly (and gently) counteract dullness and leave your skin beautifully luminous.

How to use? Saturate a cotton pad with the tonic and sweep across face, neck and décolletage (avoiding eye area). Can be used AM and PM after cleansing. I use at PM time because I don’t wanna ruin my makeup when I going out, but I will still use it when I not wearing any make up on.

The fragrance in the ingredient list, however PIXI decide to disclose it to the future customer so I guess, it’s mean that they are very well honest.
