| Verdict | Ada Tina's pore-clearing toner — Italian thermal spring water + a triple-acid complex (salicylic acid, mandelic acid, glycolic acid) + zinc PCA for sebum regulation. The Italian-Brazilian hybrid heritage shows here: Italian thermal water expertise meeting Brazilian oily-skin formulation needs. The BHA/AHA/mandelic trio attacks pores from three angles — salicylic clears inside the pore, glycolic resurfaces the surface, and mandelic (the gentlest AHA) adds brightening without aggression. Alcohol-free, which is notable for a toner in this price range. | Sallve's liquid exfoliant — glycolic acid + malic acid + lactic acid in a daily-use toner format. The witch hazel and licorice root extracts are smart inclusions: both are proven anti-inflammatory agents that counteract the potential irritation from the AHA complex. This is the Brazilian answer to Pixi Glow Tonic, with a better supporting cast of soothing botanicals. At R$70 (~$14 USD), you can afford to be consistent. Apply with a cotton pad after cleansing, wait two minutes, proceed with serums. |
