Ané Exfoliating Acid Toner | Combat Dullness & Discolouration (AHA, BHA, Tranexamic Acid)

Gentle Exfoliation Without Compromising Your Skin Barrier 

Changing midlife and menopause skin can lead to your skin's natural cell turnover slowing down, leaving behind a dull, uneven complexion, stubborn discolouration, and even unexpected breakouts. 

Ané AHA, BHA & Tranexamic Exfoliating Acid Toner is a gentle, yet powerful leave-on liquid exfoliant formulated to address dullness, discolouration, irregular skin texture and uneven skin tone.

Gentle, consistent exfoliation is a key step in your skincare routine - this multi-functional formulation was designed to exfoliate, tone and hydrate while supporting the skin barrier. 

Recommended for: Discoloured, dull, stressed, congested and tired skin with uneven tone and texture.  Suitable for all skin types.

Vegan. 100ml

 

    • Consistent, gentle exfoliation supports cellular turnover and help prevent congestion and build up of impurities and dead skin that may cause potential breakouts and blemishes.

    • Carefully formulated to support skin barrier function and gently exfoliate without leaving skin feeling stripped, dry and flaky. Skin feels and appears softer and smoother.

    • With consistent use skin appears brighter overall with a more balanced and uniform tone for a revitalised, refreshed and re-energised complexion. 

    • Supports anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative protection against free radical damage. 

    • Helps to disrupt the chemical pathways that cause discolouration through inhibition of tyrosinase and melanin transfer. 

    • Through removing buildup of dead skin, debris and impurities it helps to enhance absorption and extend the efficacy of other skincare products products in your skincare routine. 

    • Easy to use and incorporate in a new or existing skincare routine. Ideal for first time acid toner and liquid exfoliant users, as well as for taking a break from stronger products, but still wanting the benefits of an acid toner in your routine. 

    • Gentle and suitable for all skin types.

    • Use between 1-4 times a week as the first step after cleansing, before serum/moisturising. Saturate a cotton wool pad and gently apply it all over the face and décolletage. Avoid the eye area.

      Can be used am/pm. If used am, always follow with sun protection. See Sunburn Alert below.

      Caution: A patch test before regular use is advised. Increase use slowly if new to acid exfoliation to give the skin time to adjust. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. External use only. Keep out of reach of children. Reduce or stop use if irritation occurs.

      Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

      Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures.

At the heart of our Exfoliating Acid Toner is a synergistic blend of powerful actives, carefully chosen for their efficacy and gentle approach to changing midlife skin:

  • 5% AHA Complex (Glycolic, Lactic, Malic Acids): These Alpha Hydroxy Acids work on the skin's surface, dissolving the bonds that hold onto dead cells. For mature skin, AHAs are crucial for boosting radiance, improving hydration, and visibly smoothing fine lines by encouraging fresh cell turnover.
  • 2% Tranexamic Acid: A breakthrough ingredient for discolouration, Tranexamic Acid specifically targets stubborn hyperpigmentation – like sun spots and melasma that often appear or worsen during hormonal shifts – promoting a significantly more even skin tone.
  • Betaine Salicylate (BHA): This Beta Hydroxy Acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to dive deep into pores to clear congestion and excess sebum. For midlife women dealing with unexpected adult acne or enlarged pores, BHA is invaluable for achieving a clearer, smoother complexion
  • Hydrating & Soothing Complex (Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Ané Plant Adaptogen Complex, Green Tea, Centella Asiatica): Unlike harsh exfoliants, our formula prioritises your skin's comfort. These hydrating and anti-inflammatory ingredients ensure that while you're exfoliating effectively, your skin barrier remains nourished, calm, and resilient – a non-negotiable for sensitive midlife skin.
  • How to use / layer with other products?

    • Apply first to cleansed, dry skin before any other products so that the acid toner can get to work directly on your skin.

    • Once applied try to leave it a few minutes and then you can apply a mist and/or serum and moisturiser and/or face oil. You don’t need several steps if you prefer to keep it simple and just add your preferred moisturiser - this is what I do most of the time too as I prefer to limit the stronger type active products in my routine.
    • If you use it in the morning always make sure to apply board spectrum sunscreen.

    • Do not use in the same routine as other Retinoid products, especially prescription Retinoids.

    • Do not use in the same routine as another exfoliant or a physical scrub.
    • Start slow and build up over time depending on how your skin responds.


    How often should I use it?

    Recommended usage is between 1-4 times a week, and the right level of usage for you personally will depend on different factors, ie. your skin type and concerns, how your skin is tolerating and responding to the product, what the rest of your routine looks like in terms of the time you like to spend as well as the products you use already.

    I don’t personally advocate using an acid toner daily - even a gentle one like the Ané Tri-Acid Toner, but it’s really up to you and how you feel your skin responds. What I’ve learnt is that can be easy to underestimate and overdo exfoliating without intending to. 

    What shall I NOT use it with?

    Do not use it with any other (exfoliating acid) type product or a facial scrub in your routine. Also avoid using any kind of Retinoid, especially prescription Retinoids in the same routine.

Fabulous

I love the exfoliating acid toner. I think my skin looks and feels fresh, glowy and soft. Best buy.

Excel at removing blemishes!!

My favorite serum ever! Having clean face and clear skin was delivered. The more you use it, the more effective it becomes. In my opinion, my needs call for an overnight cream. I'll make another purchase.

Truly lightens

The Ane TXA is one of the most economical on the market that actually works. Use for spot treatments or all over care. I always keep an extra bottle on hand.

Stings!

I tried this as I love Ane's cleansing balm, but I found it very astringent and stripping. Maybe it's supposed to feel like this, but my face stung so much I double-checked I hadn't accidentally chosen the nail polish remover from the bathroom cabinet. Persisted considering the price and good reviews, but it hasn't made any difference to my skin, so I wouldn't buy again.

Skin like silk

I came across this delightful face happiness whilst reading a beauty magazine.

I wanted to try it, as I can relate highly to the company's values and outlook in their approach to skincare.

I also use their fade balm. Which is utterly Devine upon the skin.

My skin truly glows like the sun has decided to offer me continuous rays.

I adore this toner.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this if you�re wanting to ensure that those pesky dead skin cells after cleaning, are truly gone.
The other is incredibly easy to apply�

I pop 5 drops ont washable recycled cotton pads, smoothing across my face after cleansing as I promise you, the results are truly astounding. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

I had been using it for many months~ and sines I begin, I receive many compliments on how just I glow.

Well. I concur (apologies for the vain connotation ~ not at all my intention) but bring 45 years old< it is joyous to have skin that looks hydrated, smooth, and glowing.

I will always come back for more.

I can appreciate that you may be a little cautions in splashing out the price,

But lemme tell you this

It's almost 5 pounds for a coffee at Starbucks ~

You CAN afford this

Your beautiful will make it so incredibly worth it
