Hi there! Happy Monday!

If you pay attention to beauty-hype, you’ve probably heard about AHA a lot in the past couple of years, but what is it?  AHA stands for alpha hydroxy acids, and they are a class of chemical compounds that are made up of a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the adjacent carbon… Yeah, that. They may be naturally occurring or synthetic. I had heard amazing things about Knockout by Tarte and decided to try it out in place of my regular evening toner. I waited to do this post for MONTHS so I could give you a full review.

About Tarte Knockout Tingle Treatment Toner

 A vegan, skin-tingling toner treatment that acts as a complexion workout in a bottle to help resurface your skin and balance its pH.

Main Ingredients
– Water: Delivers and retains the skin’s natural moisture.
– Salicylic and Lactic Acids: Gently exfoliate, support cell renewal, and clear skin.
– Sulfur, Niacinamide, and Glycerin: Improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles, pores, and redness.

 Knockout Tingling Treatment transforms your skin while you sleep with a 10 percent acid complex. It helps minimize the appearance of pores and control oil with salicylic and lactic acids while working to clarify, soothe, and hydrate with sulfur, niacinamide, and glycerin.

My Thoughts

Reading some of the reviews I noticed people mentioned tingling and highlighted the vinegar scent. I had already been using the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution by The Ordinary without irritation, so I was not nervous to bump up to a slightly more intense version. I usually roll my eyes when people notice a difference “immediately” but this was a product where I felt like my skin looked better the next morning. When using this I am careful to be sure I do don’t slack with my moisturizing, and I am already religious 365 about my S.P.F. After using this my pores, and I’ve got large pores that get clogged, a lot, look so much smaller and so much more clear. My skin is baby soft, and it has made the overall tone and texture of my skin a ton better. I still get the occasional breakout, but as a whole, my skin looks better and I require less foundation/a little foundation because of this product. I will continue to use this product, and because a little goes a long way it lasts a long time and is worth the price. I do wish the bottle was clear so could see how much I had left (the shake method isn’t that accurate for me!). I purchase my Tarte Knockout Toner at Sephora and try to snag a couple during the VIB sales.
