The ELMT Skin Illuminating Solution is a toner-essence hybrid that helps brighten your complexion while promoting new cell growth. You can use this as a toner to prep your skin after cleansing or you can use it like an essence to layer on hydration. Either way, this toner-essence is packed with rich antioxidants that will protect your skin.
The key ingredient includes 10% niacinamide and 51.9% grape seed extract & pomegranate fruit extract. When combined both can help target early signs of aging and strengthen skin barrier.
Full ingredient list: Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Water, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Trehalose, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Panthenol, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit Extract, Xanthan Gum, Allantoin, Resveratrol, Cyanocobalamin
I like how this is packaged in a dark glass bottle with a stopper. It does not have any added fragrances, no scent that I can smell. Maybe just a tiny faint of floral/herbal scent. This toner-essence is colorless and has a watery consistency. I like using this an an essence in my routine after I have toned and before I apply serum.
I pat this onto areas of my skin where there is redness and dry patches then go back and pat a second layer to entire face. Due to the water texture, this is fast absorbing and practically disappears from the surface of my skin within minutes. There is some tackiness but once it dries down it leaves my skin refreshed and dewy.
This toner-essence feels light and instantly brightens up my complexion. It gives it a natural healthy glow without any kind of shine. My face definitely felt more hydrated and plump for a long time. Areas where I had redness and dry patches where much more calm and evened out my skin tone overall.
I have sensitive skin and the 10% niacinamide did not cause any irritations. Then again, I have already toned with another product before applying this so that kind of acts as a barrier. It is a good skin booster to use in AM routine to brighten up skin and works great for layering in PM routine. It has helped with the dryness so I wake up with texture free skin.
