The second step of the ritual.
A gentle glycolic toner with mamaku, the black tree fern of our forests, alongside rose and cornflower waters, aloe and a complex of amino acids. It sweeps away what cleansing leaves behind, for skin that looks smoother, brighter and more even.
The ritual
In the evening after cleansing, sweep over face and neck with a cotton pad, avoiding the eyes. Follow with Mānuka Moisturising Cream. Start two or three evenings a week and build up as your skin is comfortable.
Key ingredients
-
Mamaku (black tree fern), long valued in rongoā Māori for its cooling, slippery gel
-
Glycolic acid, a gentle exfoliating AHA for smoother-looking skin
-
Rose and cornflower waters to refresh
-
Aloe leaf water and amino acids to support hydration
Why mamaku works here
Glycolic acid smooths and brightens, but on its own it can feel sharp. Mamaku’s cooling, hydrating character balances it, and rose and cornflower waters add softness, so the toner refines skin while still feeling gentle. It is used in the evening because glycolic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun.
Benefits
