Elemis has launched the new Pro-Collagen Toning Mist to prime the skin for the absorption of active ingredients in later skincare routine steps.

The company says using toner has become an overlooked and under-appreciated step in skincare routines and this product has been created to create more enthusiasm for the protocol.

The weightless mist is designed to be used after cleansing the skin twice, offering gentle skin exfoliation. Elemis says the mist refines pores and smooths the skin’s appearance without disrupting moisture levels.

The formula contains a marine biotech ferment, which helps support the skin’s natural barrier.

Padina Pavonica, a brown fan-shaped algae, is also contained in the solution thanks to its high polysaccharide and glycosaminoglycan content, which can attract and retain moisture.

Polyhydroxy acid exfoliates dead skin cells and supports skin renewal.

The mist also features the Pro-Collagen signature scent of rose and mimosa, designed to calm the senses and soothe the skin.

A 150ml bottle costs £45 (US$60, €58).

Noella Gabriel, global president and co-founder, said: “With the launch of Pro-Collagen Toning Mist, we’ve created a new era of toner to reignite the passion for this under-appreciated step. Designed to boost the effectiveness of your routine in a single spritz, the innovative combination of skin-supporting ingredients sets the tone for healthier-looking skin daily. Creating a sensorial, calming moment in your everyday, make toning the step you look forward to.”
