Sorella Apothecary
Spiced Wine Toner
About
Spiced Wine Toner is a refreshing, antioxidant-rich facial toner from Sorella Apothecary — formulated to gently exfoliate, rebalance, and refresh skin, while supporting clarity, glow, and smooth texture. It’s especially well-suited for skin that tends toward oiliness, clogged pores, dullness, or uneven texture, but its balancing hydration makes it a versatile choice for many skin types.
What It Is
This toner is a mild chemical-toner / exfoliating tonic: a water-based liquid infused with natural AHA (from fermented pumpkin), lactic acid, and humectants — designed to gently lift away dead skin cells, refine pores, rebalance skin’s surface, and prepare skin for serums or moisturizers. Rather than being rough or stripping, it merges exfoliation and hydration in one step to promote smooth, fresh, balanced skin.
✅ Key Benefits
-
Refines pores & reduces excess oil/shine — helps clear out surface buildup and excess sebum, supporting clearer, less congested skin.
-
Gently exfoliates for smoother texture & brighter skin — the natural AHA from pumpkin ferment + lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells, improving skin tone and revealing fresher, softer skin.
-
Balances and refreshes skin after cleansing — helps restore a healthy pH balance, leaving skin feeling “even & balanced,” not tight or dry.
-
Hydrates and nourishes while toning — humectant glycerin helps lock in moisture, preventing over-drying that some toners can cause.
-
Improves overall clarity, tone & may support reduction of dullness / dark spots — with repeated use, the refreshing, exfoliating action promotes a more radiant, even appearance.
Key Ingredients & What They Do
| Ingredient | Function / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Lactobacillus / Pumpkin Ferment Extract (natural pumpkin-derived AHA) | Gently exfoliates dead skin cells, helps smooth texture, and provides antioxidants & vitamin C to support skin renewal and glow. |
| Lactic Acid | A gentle AHA that improves skin tone and texture, helping to brighten skin and support a smooth, even surface — while maintaining hydration. |
| Glycerin | A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps retain hydration, counteracting potential dryness and leaving skin soft and supple. |
| Water (Aqua) | Serves as the base solvent — helps deliver the active ingredients evenly across skin. |
| Butylene Glycol | Helps with texture, absorption, and delivery of actives — making the toner feel lightweight and smooth on skin. |
Why It Stands Out
Spiced Wine Toner stands out because it combines gentle, plant-derived exfoliation with hydration and antioxidant support — all in a simple, clean formula. It doesn’t rely on harsh alcohol, sulfates, or aggressive exfoliants. Instead, it uses fermented pumpkin + lactic acid for a more skin-kind exfoliation, with glycerin to keep skin balanced and moisturized.
For users who want clarity, refined pores, smoother texture, balanced skin tone, and glow — without stripping or dryness — it’s a smart “reset” step after cleansing. It’s especially appealing for those with combination, oily, or dull skin, or anyone wanting a gentle exfoliating toner that supports skin health over time.
