Product Info

EltaMD Skin Recovery Essence Toner – An alcohol-free essence toner with a patented blend of three amino acids that calms, hydrates and helps repair a damaged skin barrier while keeping skin's pH balanced.

AAComplex, EltaMD's patented blend of three amino acids, helps repair barrier damage, visibly calm redness and minimize the risk of irritation
Malachite extract, a copper-based mineral complex, helps remove impurities and defend against environmental stressors, and gives the toner its natural pale blue color
Glycerin, biosaccharide gum-1 and hydroxyacetophenone improve skin's ability to absorb and hold hydration and nurture rough, dehydrated skin
Alcohol-free and pH-balanced, so it soothes instead of stinging or drying
Free of fragrance, dyes and parabens; non-comedogenic and safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin

Who benefits? Anyone with sensitive, red, reactive or dehydrated skin, or a barrier stressed by actives, weather or treatments, who wants a calming hydration step between cleanser and serum. It is step two of the EltaMD Skin Recovery System.

How to Use

Step 1: Cleanse skin, ideally with the EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser.
Step 2: Apply the toner to a cotton pad, or pour a small amount into your palms.
Step 3: Gently sweep the pad over the face and neck, or press the toner into skin with your hands.
Step 4: Follow with serum and moisturizer, and with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
Step 5: Use morning and night. For best results, use with the full Skin Recovery System.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Amino Acids & Minerals

Key Ingredients

AAComplex

Barrier Repair

AAComplex is EltaMD's patented blend of three amino acids; the formula's amino acids are taurine, arginine and glycine. EltaMD says the complex helps repair the skin barrier, visibly reduces the appearance of redness, minimizes the risk of irritation and increases hydration.

Purify & Protect

Malachite Extract

Malachite extract is a copper-based mineral complex that helps remove impurities and boosts skin's defenses against environmental stressors. It is also what gives the toner its natural pale blue color, since the formula contains no dyes.

Soothing Antioxidant

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone is a skin-soothing antioxidant that EltaMD says visibly improves elasticity and nurtures rough, dehydrated skin. It also helps keep the formula stable without parabens.

Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

Explore Help Center

What's the difference between an essence toner and a regular toner?

Many traditional toners are astringent, with alcohol or acids to remove oil. This is a hydrating essence: alcohol-free, pH-balanced and built around amino acids, so it calms and preps skin rather than stripping it. It's meant to be pressed into skin before serum, not used to scrub away residue.

Why is it blue?

The pale blue color comes from malachite extract, a copper-based mineral complex in the formula. The toner contains no dyes or fragrance.

Is it OK for rosacea, sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. EltaMD makes it for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It's non-comedogenic, alcohol-free and free of fragrance, dyes and parabens, and its amino acid complex is designed to calm the look of redness and minimize irritation.

Can I use it after a facial or in-office treatment?

Its calming, barrier-supporting formula suits stressed skin, but always follow your provider's aftercare instructions on when to restart topical products, and don't apply it to broken skin.

Do I need the rest of the Skin Recovery System?

No, it works on its own after any gentle cleanser. EltaMD designed it as step two of the Skin Recovery System, though: Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser, then this toner, Skin Recovery Serum, and Light Moisturizer or Night Mask, so you'll get the most from it as part of that routine.

How long does a bottle last?

It's a generous 7.3 fl oz / 215 mL. Used morning and night, a bottle typically lasts around three months, a bit less if you use a soaked cotton pad each time and a bit more if you press it in with your hands.
