Overview
Glycolic acid, licorice and niacinamide anchor this Urban Skin Rx toner, a liquid formula built to brighten dull, uneven-toned skin without alcohol or fragrance. It ships in a 4.5 fl oz bottle for combination, dry, normal or oily skin.
The toner pairs an exfoliating acid with niacinamide and licorice root, an ingredient combination generally used to target uneven tone and clogged pores rather than simply refresh skin after cleansing. Skipping alcohol is worth noting, since witch hazel toners have historically leaned on it for astringency, which can dry skin over repeated use.
- Liquid toner, 4.5 fl oz
- Glycolic acid, licorice and niacinamide
- Fragrance free, alcohol free, sulfate free, paraben free
- For combination, dry, normal and oily skin
Who it's for
Works for people dealing with dullness, clogged pores or uneven tone across most skin types, since the listing covers combination, dry, normal and oily. Less suited to anyone with reactive skin who needs to avoid glycolic acid, since it can sting on compromised skin.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Free of alcohol, fragrance, sulfates and parabens
- Glycolic acid plus niacinamide targets tone and pores
- Formulated for combination, dry, normal and oily skin
- Glycolic acid may not suit sensitive or reactive skin
- 4.5 fl oz is a relatively small bottle for daily use
Performance notes
Glycolic acid is a small-molecule alpha hydroxy acid, so it penetrates and exfoliates the skin surface more readily than larger acids, which is what drives the toner's pore treatment and exfoliation benefits. Niacinamide and licorice are generally included to calm and even tone alongside that exfoliation rather than to exfoliate on their own.
