Find the Right Essence for You
Forest MD toners are referred to as essences. An essence is a toner containing a high concentration of nutrients to saturate the skin and is different from alcohol-based astringent-type toners. Essence is used immediately after cleansing and provides the first basal layer of hydration, making all your other products work to their fullest potential. For young skin in their 20s to 30s, it acts like a liquid moisturizer – hydrating and softening the skin – pimples heal faster, and pores look smaller. For mature skin, it helps to prevent fine lines & wrinkles and makes the skin more supple.
Tip: Using an essence significantly impacts the skin’s youthful quality
