Pixi’s Glow Tonic has become a cult buy among skincare fanatics.

The exfoliating toner uses powerhouse ingredient Glycolic Acid, to dissolve away dead skin cells and reveal brighter and fresher skin.

The alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) loosens the bonds that tightly pack dulling cells together, tackling those tough layers of dead skin.

Pixi’s gentle formula brightens skin, even managing to tackle hyperpigmentation, while also targeting signs of ageing and blemish-ridden skin.

The tonic was so successful that it spawned a number of multi-tasking toners all formulated to tackle different skin concerns.

Fans loved the Rose and Milky tonics that sooth and nourish skin, while the Vitamin-C was praised for brightening and the Retinol for targeting the signs of ageing.

And now the iconic tonic range has got another addition that sounds like it could be just as groundbreaking its predecessors.

Pixi has launched a Collagen Tonic – a volumizing toner that’s meant to plump skin and smooth fine lines.

Formulated with Acacia Collagen, a plant-based substitute for animal collagen, the tonic works to plump skin and rejuvenate the complexion to help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

With additional peptides, the amino acid chains that reinforce essential proteins in the skin, the tonic comes with strong anti-ageing properties.

And its not just the tonic’s anti-ageing abilities that make it worth a try, the product also infuses hydration into the skin with the addition of sea salt and coconut water that work boost hydration levels while re-mineralising the skin.

To get the most out of the tonic, the brand suggests to soak a cotton pad in the toner and sweep across the face, neck and décolletage during both your morning and evening skincare routines.

Be sure to avoid the eye area though and follow with a serum or moisturiser for an extra dose of hydration.

This new offering is definitely going on our skincare shelves.

Aleesha has worked for woman&home since 2019, when she joined the team as their digital news writer. A year on the news team gained her quick and reactive writing skills and a love for breaking stories, invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first, an AOP awards nomination and the nickname ‘crazy watch lady’ after she became so obsessed with the royals that she followed breaking news alerts on her Apple Watch.

Before joining the woman&home team, Aleesha wrote for their sister site GoodtoKnow, where she covered celebrity news, health advice and where to snap up the cheapest lifestyle buys. With a background in beauty, Aleesha has also written for Stylist and Women’s Health where she developed an understanding into what makes a stellar product and which brands are worth paying attention to. She never leaves the house without a slick of lip balm and a good slathering of SPF, cannot live without an eyelash curler by her side and is always on the hunt for new lipsticks to add to her ‘Lipstick of the Day’ Instagram story highlight (and color-coordinated collection).

Social media savviness, strong PR relationships and a need to stay in the know mean she’s all about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys too. She loves indulging in an interior craze (with a bedroom drowned in prints, plants and pink), is a regular visitor to the Missoma and Edge of Ember 'New In' pages and can’t resist the allure of a kitchen gadget—just ask her three coffee machines.

When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, catching up on the latest Netflix craze with her sister, trying out new recipes, drinking wine with her bestie and (in non-COVID times) has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter amongst her friendship group. Oh and she makes the most of her Disney+ subscription by watching the Marvel films on repeat (definitely not just for Chris Evans...).
