Pixi

 Retinol Tonic Smoothing Toner with Jasmine Flower

I loved Pixi's Glow Tonic and after trying this I'm surprised to discover that both products have a very similar effect on my skin. Both balance hydration (in this case Glycerin and Propanediol) whilst being moderately astringent, both are brightening (a good amount of Vitamin C in here) and other than the color and fragrance of the tonics, my skin reacts almost identically whichever of the two I'm using. However one crucial difference with the Retinol version is it has a better effect on my pores. 'Glow' kept them fairly clear, although it didn't minimize them in any way, but this one definitely has a subtle yet noticeable minimizing effect on them. I'm thinking now to alternate the two each night, as I tend to avoid using Retinol or its derivatives, and AHA-containing products during the day time. If you already use Retinol in your skincare (cream, serum) then it may be worth skipping this product as you're probably used to a much higher percentage of the ingredient and won't notice any additional benefits of using this one. But if you find most retinol products too irritating - as I do, then this is a good entry level product, mild enough not to cause any issues like sensitivity, and yet still potent enough to make a fair amount of difference. If I had to pick between the two, I'd choose this tonic over the 'Glow' one. Retinol aside, the ingredients in this one are overall superior. And so are the results. -> My 'Ulta Beauty Top 7 must-have list' (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Ulta) < - < 1.

This not only give your skin that clean feeling, you can also feel your skin tighten. I love this feeling right before I put on my moisturizer

I wasn't sure what to expect and I am more than satisfied with the results. So I have only been using pixi for a week, but my skin does seem to have more of a glow and importantly there has been absolutely no irritation.

I have spent sooo much on retinol products from my doctor, but this works Better than most of the "professional grade" products she has recommended. Great value!

I use this tonic as a last step in cleaning my face at the end of the day. It works well to remove any trace of make-up or the cleanser I use. It is refreshing on my skin and I like that it contains retinol.
