RESIST Advanced Replenishing Toner with Hyaluronic Acid

Toner · 30 ingredients

A replenishing toner formulated to address dryness, loss of firmness, and early signs of aging in dry, combination, and normal skin types. Hyaluronic acid works to retain lasting hydration while visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and evening primrose oil—an antioxidant-rich, non-fragrant plant oil—rapidly restores moisture to the skin. Linoleic, oleic, and linolenic acids round out the formula by visibly diminishing dullness and supporting skin's resilience over time. The formula is fragrance free.
