Glow Recipe expanded its collection of ultra-hydrating watermelon skincare products with a watermelon toner that's actually the K-beauty brand's first-ever toner. The Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner is like a one-step facial in the sense that it is formulated to hydrate skin and tighten pores all at once. The toner for smooth and supple skin helps to get the skin prepared for the rest of a skincare routine thanks to ingredients that take inspiration from the Korean Aqua Peel Facial.
The pore-perfecting, hydrating toner features not just watermelon extract but also cactus water, polyhydroxy acids for resurfacing and the removal of dead skin cells, as well as hyaluronic acid, tea tree extract, cucumber and two types of BHA to minimize both pores and blackheads.
