The Concentrated Alpha Hydroxy Toner is our go-to recommendation at Le Petit Spa Charlotte for clients with rough texture, dullness, or congested-looking skin. Lactic Acid is gentler than glycolic, so it's a great entry point into chemical exfoliation. We recommend it 2–3 evenings per week as part of a Vitamin A routine — it pairs beautifully with our brightening facials.
