An ELLE editor says: “I consider this to be the baby version of P50. If you would like bright, glowing skin and are slightly scared by anything too intense, try this exfoliating toner. At one point, five of my friends were on this at the same time and for a brief, glorious period, we were all pimple-free with tight skin. Do use a cotton pad to put this on.” –Kathleen Hou, ELLE beauty director
