VOTARY Daily Apple Toner – Malic Acid and Prebiotic – 100ml

£42.00

If your skin is looking a little dull or uneven, VOTARY Daily Apple Toner is designed to bring back a healthy-looking glow. It combines apple extract with malic, lactic and glycolic acids to gently exfoliate the skin's surface, helping improve the appearance of uneven texture and reveal a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.

Glycerin helps maintain hydration, while prebiotic inulin supports the skin's natural microbiome. Liquorice root extract helps even the appearance of skin tone, and milk thistle helps soothe and condition the skin.

For me, the appeal is that it brings together gentle exfoliation and hydration in one simple step. It's a lovely option if you want to give dull-looking skin a little extra radiance without making your routine unnecessarily complicated.

Why we love

A little apple-inspired glow, gentle exfoliation and ingredients that help keep skin hydrated… this is a lovely way to give a dull-looking complexion a refresh!

We love that VOTARY has combined malic, lactic and glycolic acids with hydrating glycerin and prebiotic inulin. It means this toner isn't just about smoothing the skin's surface; it also considers hydration and the skin's natural microbiome.

And if your complexion is looking a little lacklustre, or your skincare routine needs something to help improve the appearance of uneven texture, this is a useful addition. Used thoughtfully alongside moisturiser and daily SPF, it's a simple way to work towards smoother, brighter, more radiant-looking skin.

  • VOTARY Daily Apple Toner is a gentle exfoliating toner designed to refresh the complexion, smooth uneven texture and bring back a healthy-looking glow. Combining apple extract with a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), it helps remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface, leaving your complexion looking brighter and feeling smoother.

    Malic acid, naturally associated with apples, works alongside lactic acid and glycolic acid to support gentle exfoliation and improve the appearance of uneven texture. Apple extract and apple vinegar complement the formula, while glycerin helps draw moisture into the skin to keep it feeling hydrated.

    Prebiotic inulin is another key ingredient. It helps support the skin's natural microbiome while contributing to hydration. Liquorice root extract helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, and milk thistle seed extract helps soothe and condition the skin.

    What I particularly like about this toner is that it combines exfoliation with ingredients that help maintain hydration and skin comfort. Rather than focusing solely on removing dead skin cells, the formula also aims to leave skin feeling refreshed and looking more luminous.

    Used consistently, it can be a useful addition to a routine if your complexion looks dull, feels a little rough or lacks radiance. It is suitable for all skin types, although those with very sensitive or easily irritated skin should introduce it gradually because it contains several exfoliating acids.

  • VOTARY Daily Apple Toner uses a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), including malic, lactic and glycolic acids, to exfoliate the skin's surface and help improve the appearance of uneven texture. Glycerin and prebiotic inulin help maintain hydration, while liquorice root extract helps even the appearance of skin tone. With regular use, skin can look smoother, brighter and more radiant.

  • Malic acid, lactic acid and glycolic acid provide exfoliating benefits, helping to smooth the skin's surface. Apple fruit extract complements the formula, while glycerin helps hydrate and prebiotic inulin supports the skin's natural microbiome. Liquorice root extract helps improve the appearance of uneven tone, and milk thistle seed extract helps soothe and condition the skin.

  • It is suitable for all skin types, particularly those experiencing dullness, uneven-looking skin tone or rough texture. If your skin is very sensitive, easily irritated or your skin barrier is compromised, introduce the toner cautiously or seek advice from a skincare professional before using exfoliating acids.

  • After cleansing, shake the bottle well and apply the toner to a cotton pad. Gently sweep over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area, then follow with your usual serum and moisturiser. Introduce it gradually if you are new to exfoliating acids, and reduce use if irritation develops. As AHAs can increase sensitivity to the sun, use broad-spectrum SPF daily. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
