Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner is formulated to provide gentle exfoliation without being harsh on the skin. It is based on yeast ferment and N‑acetylglucosamine, which help the skin shed dead skin cells gently. This makes the toner suitable for daily use.
The formula also works to add moisture to the skin. Squalane contributes to the milky consistency and helps leave a softer feel after application. The combination makes the product suitable as a step between cleansing and other skincare products.
The toner is designed to help even out the skin’s surface. By gently exfoliating it can reduce the appearance of uneven texture, enlarged pores and dullness. It can also help promote a more even skin tone.
N‑acetylglucosamine plays an important role in the formula. It works by disrupting how dead skin cells bind together, allowing the skin’s natural shedding to occur more easily. This provides milder exfoliation than many acid‑based alternatives.
The texture is very light and can be applied with fingers or a cotton pad. It absorbs quickly and makes room for the rest of your routine. You can therefore use serums, oils or creams over it without the product feeling heavy.
The Ordinary uses microfluidisation to achieve a stable formula with a high proportion of emollient ingredients. This allows the lightweight feel to be maintained without the product separating.
The product is suitable morning and evening and is formulated to work on sensitive skin. Apply a few drops into the palm of your hand or onto a cotton pad and spread over the skin.
Since it already provides mild exfoliation it should not be combined with other exfoliating products in the same routine. Avoid direct acids and physical exfoliants at the same time. This reduces the risk of over‑exfoliation and keeps the routine easier to maintain.
