Codex Labs Shaant Refining Toner is a skincare formulation designed to support hydration and minimize the appearance of pores, specifically developed for acne-prone skin. This 100ml toner contains 2% Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid known for its gentle exfoliating properties that help refine skin texture without causing irritation. Gluconolactone also functions as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin to maintain hydration levels while promoting a smoother, more even complexion.

The formula is crafted with a focus on mildness, making it suitable for daily use on sensitive or blemish-prone skin types. It works to remove excess oil and impurities from the skin’s surface, which can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts, without stripping the skin of its natural moisture barrier. The toner is lightweight and non-greasy, allowing for quick absorption after cleansing.

This product is cruelty-free and vegan, aligning with ethical skincare standards. It contains no animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals. The ingredients are selected to offer a balanced approach to pore care and hydration, avoiding harsh chemicals that might aggravate acne or sensitivity. The toner can be applied using a cotton pad or fingertips, gently sweeping across the face and neck after cleansing, both morning and evening.

Suitable for individuals seeking a non-irritating exfoliating toner that addresses enlarged pores and uneven texture while maintaining skin comfort. It is ideal for those who prefer gentle, plant-based skincare solutions without synthetic fragrances or dyes. The product is priced accessibly for everyday use, offering a practical option for maintaining a clear, hydrated complexion.
