This Buzzy New Exfoliating Toner Is The Key To Clear, Glowy Skin — & It’s Under $25

Still looking for a New Year’s resolution to add to your list? Consider committing to better skin care habits. But if you find the prospect of vowing to take on a 10-step routine overwhelming, Zen Dew’s three-product lineup makes it easy to stick to your intention. The newly launched brand was founded with the belief that skin care doesn’t need to be complex to be effective. And to help you on your skin care journey, the brand is currently holding a sale on Amazon. From now through January 30, all three of Zen Dew’s products are available for 40% off when you use the code ‘40GLOWNOW.’

Ahead, we’re breaking down the benefits behind Zen Dew’s serum, moisturizer, and exfoliating toner, the latter of which is considered the brand’s hero product — and should definitely be on your radar.

Violet Aura 2% BHA Rice Toner

If you add just one Zen Dew product to your nightly routine, make it the Violet Aura 2% BHA Rice Toner. The post-cleansing treatment was formulated without the harsh, drying alcohols found in toners past, and instead uses the beta hydroxy acid salicylic acid to break down the dead skin cells and oil that can get trapped in your pores. Not only does this 2% concentration of salicylic acid help to combat acne, but it also improves the overall texture and tone of the skin. Further assisting with this is niacinamide, another powerhouse ingredient that has soothing, brightening, and barrier-strengthening properties.

To balance out the exfoliating benefits, Zen Dew’s toner is also packed with moisturizing and soothing ingredients like allantoin, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, and azulene. Chief among these balancing ingredients is rice extract, which is naturally rich in skin-nourishing vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals. As the rice extract in the toner works to protect the skin, it deeply hydrates and supports a more even skin tone, too.

The brand was also intentional with the ingredients that it left out, prioritizing a cruelty-free formula that’s free from common irritants like alcohols, fragrances, dyes, parabens, and mineral oil.

Star Light Snail Mucin Glow Serum

To double up on the glow-boosting benefits, you’ll also want to consider adding this serum to your cart. The multi-purpose formula counts a slightly unusual ingredient behind its efficacy with a 97% concentration of snail mucin, which just so happens to be rich in prized skin care ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, allantoin, peptides, vitamins, and minerals. Because of this, snail mucin helps to moisturize and stimulate collagen production for improved firmness and smoothness of the skin, but it also helps with skin healing, as it boasts soothing and redness-reducing benefits. Anti-inflammatory and hydrating ingredients like azulene, ectoin, and snow mushroom extract round out the serum, which can be applied in the morning and at night before your moisturizer.

Moon Milk Snail Mucin Moisturizer

To complete the Zen Dew lineup is another snail mucin-infused multitasker: this time, a moisturizer. Focusing on repairing skin, the moisturizer uses a 91% concentration of snail mucin to offer radiance-boosting benefits as it helps to heal damage and alleviate the symptoms of irritation that often accompany skin conditions like acne and rosacea. You can apply this moisturizer in the morning and at night (or whenever your skin needs a hydrating boost), and because it has a gel texture, it’s fast-absorbing and feels cooling as you apply it to the skin. Plus, like the previous products, the moisturizer is cruelty-free and free from some of the most common skin irritants.
