Overview
A liquid toner from Farmacy built around azelaic acid, 5% PHA and tranexamic acid, aimed at uneven tone and dark spots. Unscented and formulated without artificial fragrance, formaldehyde, parabens or phthalates, it comes in a 4 fluid ounce (120ml) bottle.
PHA is a gentler exfoliating acid than glycolic or salicylic, which is why Farmacy positions this toner for combination, dry, normal, oily and mature skin alike rather than just oily or acne-prone types. The three-active combination targets tone evenness rather than active breakouts, so it reads as a brightening step rather than an acne treatment.
- 3% tranexamic acid plus azelaic acid and 5% PHA
- 4 fluid ounce (120ml) liquid toner
- Unscented, cruelty free formula
- Free of formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates and GMOs
Who it's for
Suits people managing post-acne marks, sun spots or general dullness who want a toning step that will not sting on dry or mature skin. Not built for anyone chasing deep exfoliation or acne control, since PHA is one of the mildest acid exfoliants available.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Formulated for five skin types including mature skin
- Free of artificial fragrance, parabens and phthalates
- Combines three brightening actives in one step
- PHA level is mild, limiting exfoliation strength
- Not formulated for acne-prone or breakout-focused skin
Performance notes
Azelaic acid and tranexamic acid are both used in skincare to fade discoloration and even tone over repeated use rather than overnight, while 5% PHA provides mild surface exfoliation without the irritation associated with stronger acids like glycolic. Because it is formulated for five skin types including mature skin, the product leans toward tolerability over speed.
