🧬 Key active ingredients and components

🍒 76.8% acerola fruit water – fruity freshness

Acerola, also known as Barbados cherry, is a fruit known for its natural vitamin C content and antioxidant compounds.

The base of the EQQUALBERRY toner is 76.8% acerola fruit water, one of the formula’s most distinctive ingredients.

The fruit water, together with other radiance-boosting actives, helps the skin look fresher, more vibrant and cared for.

✨ 3% niacinamide – for a more even skin tone

Niacinamide is one of the most versatile ingredients in modern skincare. It is present in the toner at a 3% concentration.

It is especially popular for caring for dull, uneven-toned skin as it supports a brighter skin appearance and can help reduce the visibility of pigmentation spots.

It also plays an important role in caring for the skin’s natural protective barrier.

💛 Tranexamic acid and vitamin C forms

Tranexamic acid is an increasingly popular ingredient in cosmetics focused on tone evenness and the appearance of pigmentation spots.

The formula contains pure vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), as well as 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbyl Glucoside.

Together with niacinamide, these ingredients support the care of fresher, brighter and more even-looking skin. This composition is especially suitable if you want to restore your skin’s natural freshness.

🍍 Bromelain – gentle enzymatic skin surface care

Bromelain is an enzyme known from pineapple that can help loosen dead skin cells accumulated on the skin surface.

This may contribute to smoother skin texture and a fresher, more even appearance.

The toner offers mild enzymatic care alongside daily hydration, making it particularly interesting for those who want to incorporate a little extra skin surface smoothing into their routine.

💧 Hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid and panthenol

Proper hydration is one of the foundations of a radiant complexion!

The toner contains several forms of hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid, which help bind moisture and create a pleasantly hydrated skin feel.

Panthenol and Ceramide NP further enrich the formula, supporting skin softness, comfort and care of its natural protective barrier.

🎯 Who do we recommend it for?

We especially love it for dull, uneven-toned and dehydrated skin, or when the skin looks tired, has lost its natural radiance, or the appearance of pigmentation spots is bothersome.

It can also be a pleasant choice for normal and combination skin thanks to its light texture. For drier skin, the routine can be complemented with a hydrating serum and nourishing face cream.

We also recommend it for those who want to combine hydration, radiance care and gentle enzymatic skin surface smoothing in a single toner.

💗 Why do we love it?

Because it combines hydration with a truly thoughtful, radiance-focused formula!

Alongside 76.8% acerola fruit water and 3% niacinamide, it also contains tranexamic acid, various forms of vitamin C, and bromelain.

We particularly love that, in addition to caring for skin tone and texture, it doesn’t forget about hydration. Hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, panthenol, and ceramide help the skin feel not only more radiant but also pleasantly smooth to the touch.

This is the kind of toner we gladly recommend to those who want a little extra freshness in their daily routine.

⚠️ What should you watch out for?

Although the Vitamin Illuminating Toner is a gentle formula intended for daily use, it contains bromelain enzyme and several active radiance-enhancing ingredients.

If your skin is sensitive, prone to redness, or you haven’t used enzyme-based cosmetics before, it’s advisable to introduce it gradually.

When used alongside stronger exfoliants or retinoids, pay attention to your skin’s reactions and avoid overloading your routine with too many active ingredients at once.

❓ Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from a traditional hydrating toner?

In addition to hydrating ingredients, it contains niacinamide, tranexamic acid, vitamin C forms, and bromelain. Therefore, it focuses not only on moisture replenishment but also on achieving a more even skin tone, radiance, and smoother skin surface.

Can it help with the appearance of pigmentation spots?

The 3% niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and vitamin C forms are particularly suitable for routines targeting tone evenness. With regular use, they may support the appearance of spots looking lighter, although results depend on the type of pigmentation and individual skin characteristics.

Is it considered an exfoliating toner?

Due to the bromelain enzyme, it has mild skin-smoothing properties but is not an intensive acid peel. It is primarily a hydrating and radiance-enhancing toner complemented by gentle enzyme ingredients.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Depending on individual tolerance, it may be suitable, but formulas containing enzymes and active ingredients require caution on sensitive skin. If your skin is easily irritated, try it first on a small area.

Can it be used alongside a vitamin C serum?

Yes, but since the toner itself contains several radiance-enhancing active ingredients, it is not necessarily required to layer additional strong active products alongside it. It’s best to tailor your routine based on your skin’s needs and tolerance.

Is it only recommended for dull, pigmented skin?

No! Due to its hydrating ingredients, it can also be a pleasant choice if you simply want a light, refreshing toner that supports a fresher and smoother skin appearance.
