Olay Fragrance-Free Gentle Exfoliating Toner is a minimalist formula designed for barrier-conscious skin conditioning. By utilizing Gluconolactone, a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA), it bridges the gap between chemical resurfacing and hydration. PHAs have a larger molecular structure than traditional AHAs, providing a slower penetration that is ideal for reactive skin types.
The formula includes Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and Pro-Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) to soothe the skin and reinforce the surface barrier during exfoliation. This alcohol-free and dye-free solution is dermatologist-preferred for maintaining skin texture without post-application tightness. It serves as an excellent professional-grade entry point for those new to chemical exfoliants.
