[su_list class="ingredients" icon=""]- Caffeine
Reduces excess fluid build-up around the eye area, reducing puffiness.
- Peptides
Increase the production of collagen and have the ability to assist in restoring damaged skin.

Increases the production of collagen and elastin. Has the ability to promote the production of glycosaminoglycans, while providing powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant benefits.
- Hyaluronic Acid
Helps replenish and maintain moisture content in the skin, resulting in hydrated, plump skin. Replenishing moisture content diminishes fine lines. Modified Hyaluronic Acid is able to penetrate to all depths of the skin, ensuring that deeper layers have optimal moisture content.

Maintaining ceramide levels in the skin plays an essential role in managing dryness, dehydration and premature signs of ageing.
- Glycolic Acid
Is naturally found in sugar cane, which has a small molecular size that allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin to target a variety of skin concerns. Glycolic Acid assists in unclogging pores, refining and diminishing the appearance of enlarged pores.

This is an amazing tonic. My skin is most definatley glowing since I started using Skin Functional, with specific mention to the Texture and Blemish Tonic. Its a game changer.
A larger bottle would make me the happiest girl in world!
mmukumbe (verified owner) –
Absolutely love this toner/tonic. I did experience some purging, which was expected after reading some of the online reviews, but luckily that only lasted about a week. My skin is definitely glowing and my blemishes are fading.
lol, I just wish there was a 200ml bottle *hint* *hint*
