Dr. esthé Anti-Mela Toning Toner is a brightening face mist built around tranexamic acid, one of the most effective ingredients for targeting stubborn discoloration and uneven skin tone. Unlike a traditional liquid toner, this formula has a unique jelly-like texture that clings to skin on contact, delivering a concentrated dose of actives while keeping skin hydrated and calm.

Key Benefits

Fades Dark Spots and Prevents New Ones Tranexamic acid suppresses melanin production at the source, helping to visibly reduce existing hyperpigmentation while stopping new dark spots before they surface.

Multi-Pathway Brightening Niacinamide, kojic acid, licorice root extract, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, and ascorbic acid work through different mechanisms to deliver layered brightening that targets discoloration from every angle.

Calms Redness and Heat Chamomile flower extract, bisabolol, allantoin, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate soothe inflammation and reduce redness, making this toner especially useful after laser treatments or when skin feels sensitized.

Nourishes Without Heaviness Glycerin, butylene glycol, and adenosine replenish moisture and support skin's natural repair process, leaving it feeling soft and conditioned rather than stripped.

Antioxidant Defense Retinol, tocopheryl acetate, tocopherol, and glutathione provide antioxidant support that helps protect against environmental stressors that contribute to premature aging and dullness.

If you are dealing with dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, or an overall uneven skin tone, this toner was designed with your concerns in mind. The multi-ingredient brightening approach makes it effective for a range of discoloration issues, from sun damage to acne marks.

It is also an excellent choice if your skin tends to flush easily or if you are recovering from professional treatments like laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or microneedling. The calming, anti-inflammatory base helps keep irritation in check while the brightening actives get to work.

Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and combination skin, though those with very oily skin will appreciate the lightweight, non-greasy texture.

Layer this toner underneath your retinol or other corrective serums at night. The tranexamic acid and calming botanicals help reduce inflammation in the skin, which supports better results from your actives while keeping redness and irritation to a minimum.

Prepare: After cleansing, hold the bottle upright without shaking. Shaking may break down the unique jelly emulsion and reduce the effectiveness of active ingredient delivery.

Apply: Spritz directly onto face and neck from a comfortable distance, allowing the mist to settle evenly across the skin.

Technique: Gently pat skin with clean fingertips to encourage absorption. Do not rub.

Frequency: Use morning and evening. Follow with your preferred serum and moisturizer. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF as the final step in your morning routine.
