About This Toner

The Toner That Does WhatToners Are Supposed to Do — and More.

Refresh, revitalize, and reveal radiant skin with Aquafuse Brighten + Hydrate — a next-generation spray toner expertly formulated to deliver both brightening and hydration benefits. A synergistic blend of Niacinamide, Licorice Root, and stabilized Vitamin C helps to brighten the skin, while powerhouse botanicals Pomegranate, Goji Berry, Acai, Coffee, and Mangosteen promote skin resilience and scavenge free radicals. Two peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 — Matrixyl 3000) help to promote healthy skin that looks more smooth, firm, and hydrated. Aloe, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Cucumber Extract help to restore essential moisture to the skin and reduce the appearance of fine, dehydration lines. Mist onto cleansed skin as a toning step, or use throughout the day as an on-the-go skin refresher.

Brightening Complex

Niacinamide + Licorice Root + Stable Vitamin C —Three Pathways to Brighter Skin

Three complementary brightening mechanisms working together in a single mist.

• 
  Niacinamide (Vitamin B3). Inhibits the transfer of melanin (skin pigment) from melanocytes to skin cells — reducing the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone at the cellular transport level. Niacinamide also brightens overall complexion, minimizes pores, and supports the skin barrier simultaneously, making it the versatile workhorse of the brightening complex.
  


• 
  Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract. A botanical tyrosinase inhibitor — it slows the enzyme responsible for melanin production, reducing pigmentation at its source. Licorice Root also has documented anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness and support skin comfort alongside its brightening activity.
  


• 
  Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Stable Vitamin C). A water-soluble, pH-stable form of Vitamin C that remains active and effective in aqueous spray formulas — unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, which oxidizes rapidly in water-based products. Converts to ascorbic acid on the skin to provide antioxidant protection and tone-brightening activity without the instability issues of unstabilized Vitamin C.
  

Superfruit Antioxidant Complex

Five Superfruits —Resilience and Radical Defence in Every Mist

A botanical antioxidant roster that reads like the world\'s most sophisticated smoothie — and performs like professional skincare.

• 
  Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit Extract. Rich in ellagic acid and punicalagins — among the most potent polyphenol antioxidants found in any botanical. Pomegranate extract has been extensively studied for its ability to scavenge free radicals, support collagen synthesis, and promote skin resilience against UV and environmental stress.
  


• 
  Lycium Barbarum (Goji Berry) Fruit Extract + Euterpe Oleracea (Acai Berry) Fruit Extract. Goji Berry delivers betaine, amino acids, and polysaccharides that support hydration and antioxidant defence. Acai provides anthocyanins and essential fatty acids that neutralise free radicals and support skin barrier resilience. Together they contribute two of the highest-ORAC-score botanical antioxidants in skincare.
  


• 
  Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract + Garcinia Mangostana (Mangosteen) Peel Extract. Coffee Seed Extract delivers chlorogenic acids and caffeine-like compounds with antioxidant and circulation-supporting properties. Mangosteen Peel Extract provides xanthone compounds — a class of polyphenol antioxidants unique to tropical fruits and among the most powerful free radical scavengers documented in plant science. The five-superfruit complex collectively helps promote skin resilience and scavenge free radicals across multiple antioxidant mechanisms.
  

Peptide Duo

Matrixyl 3000 in a Spray Toner —Firming and Smoothing at Every Application

The same peptide complex found in professional anti-aging serums — now delivered in a mist-on format with every toning step.

• 
  Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Matrixyl 3000). Two of the most extensively studied anti-aging peptides in professional skincare — clinically shown to support collagen synthesis, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and visibly firm and smooth skin. Most toners and facial mists contain no peptides whatsoever. Aquafuse Brighten + Hydrate delivers the full Matrixyl 3000 pairing in a format that\'s applied at Step 2 of the skincare routine and effortlessly throughout the day.
  


• 
  Promote Skin That Looks More Smooth, Firm, and Hydrated. The Matrixyl 3000 peptide duo signals fibroblast cells to produce collagen and help maintain the structural density of the skin matrix — working continuously with each application to support a visibly firmer, more refined complexion over time.
  


• 
  Anti-Aging in a Two-Second Mist. The spray-on application format means peptide delivery requires zero effort and takes less than two seconds per use. When used as an on-the-go refresher throughout the day, the cumulative peptide contact time is meaningfully greater than from a serum applied once daily — making this format a genuine advantage for consistent active delivery.
  

Hydration Complex

Aloe + Hyaluronic Acid + Cucumber —Instant, Lasting Moisture in a Mist

• 
  Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice. The third ingredient in the formula — a genuinely high concentration of Aloe Vera providing immediate soothing, anti-inflammatory, and moisture-delivering benefits from the first mist. Aloe\'s polysaccharide content forms a hydrating, film-like layer on the skin surface that locks in moisture and calms reactive or stressed skin.
  


• 
  Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid). The gold standard humectant — drawing water into the skin and retaining it at the surface and in the deeper layers. In a spray format, Hyaluronic Acid is delivered directly to the skin surface in an evenly distributed mist that covers the full face rapidly and uniformly without patting or rubbing.
  


• 
  Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract. A classic calming and hydrating botanical with documented skin-cooling and anti-inflammatory properties — reducing redness, puffiness, and irritation while providing lightweight hydration. Together with Aloe and Hyaluronic Acid, it forms a hydration complex that helps restore essential moisture and reduce the appearance of fine dehydration lines.

How to Use

Two Ways to UseAquafuse Brighten + Hydrate

As a toning step in your skincare routine — or as an on-the-go skin refresher throughout the day.

```


1

As a Toner — After Cleansing and Exfoliating

Mist onto cleansed, exfoliated skin, focusing on areas of dehydration or in need of calming and brightening. Hold the bottle 6–8 inches from the face and mist evenly across the face, neck, and décolletage. Allow to absorb — no rinsing required. Follow with your serums, moisturizer, and SPF as normal. The Matrixyl 3000 peptides, brightening actives, and Hyaluronic Acid lay an active treatment foundation before the rest of your routine.

2

As an On-the-Go Skin Refresher

Aquafuse Brighten + Hydrate may also be used throughout the day as an on-the-go skin refresher — mist over makeup or bare skin whenever skin needs a hydration boost, a brightening refresh, or simply a moment of calming. The 3.4 oz size is TSA-compliant for travel and fits easily in a handbag. The five superfruit antioxidants and peptides continue working with every midday application.

3

Pairs Well With the bt-sonic and Other Bio-Therapeutic Products

For maximum results, use Aquafuse Brighten + Hydrate directly after cleansing with the Bio-Therapeutic bt-sonic — the thorough cleanse the bt-sonic delivers optimizes the absorption of the toner\'s actives. Aquafuse Brighten + Hydrate also pairs well with the Aquafuse Clearing and Aquafuse Hyaluronic Repair formulas within the Bio-Therapeutic Aquafuse collection.

Available in 8 oz (full size for home use) and 3.4 oz (TSA-compliant travel size ideal for on-the-go refreshing throughout the day).

Does Aquafuse Brighten + Hydrate contain peptides?

Yes — it contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Matrixyl 3000), the same peptide pairing found in professional anti-aging serums. Their inclusion in a spray toner is unusual and represents a meaningful upgrade over standard hydrating mists.

Is Aquafuse Brighten + Hydrate cruelty free?

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is a water-soluble, stable form of Vitamin C that converts to ascorbic acid on the skin.

It brightens tone, addresses pigmentation, and provides antioxidant protection without oxidation or pH instability.
