Both the toner and gel-cream replenish moisture back into dehydrated in skin – including combination and oily skin types - to restore a comfortable skin condition with a supple skin texture. These products can be enjoyed by all skin types as they are rich in moisture, but have a water-like feel when absorbed by skin. When applied with warm hands, this toner and gel-cream combo are delivered more effectively to skin and help to achieve a radiant complexion though the restoration of sufficient moisture. The Hydrating product range doesn’t encourage excess sebum production, making it perfect for use in even the most humid months of the year, and serves as a simple way to balance skin.

Follow up with the Accoje Reviving Cream for nutrition and intensive care for firm skin with better elasticity. Ingredients such as Shea Butter cover dry skin with a film of moisture to act as a barrier to external factors which are detrimental to weak skin conditions.

It’s a tone-correcting sun gel that adheres softly without stickiness and primes skin for the application of base makeup, or a fresh-looking bare face minus a whitecast.
