From your Nurse Practitioner

Why I recommend it.

Most toning mists hydrate or purify — rarely both. Matcha Tea Mist does both simultaneously because it combines three active ingredients working on different mechanisms: Matcha Tea Leaf Water is a powerful antioxidant that prevents oxidative damage and activates micro-circulation (meaning skin gets better blood flow, better oxygenation, better detoxification), Gluconolactone is a gentle exfoliant that removes dead skin while providing moisturising and antioxidant benefits, and Sodium Salicylate purifies pores and minimises oil accumulation. The result is skin that feels cleansed, detoxified, hydrated, and radiant in a single step. The Matcha Tea is often described as the "green gold of Japan" — a luxurious ingredient with centuries of use in traditional practice, now backed by modern science showing its ability to slow premature ageing and protect against environmental damage. Unlike harsh toners that leave skin feeling tight and irritated, Matcha Tea Mist is gentle enough for all skin types while being potent enough for oily and congested skin. The acidic pH keeps it on-brand with active treatment: it exfoliates gently, prepares skin for serums and treatments, and doesn't disrupt the skin barrier. For clients seeking luxury, efficacy, and visible brightening and clarification — especially those with oily skin dealing with dullness, congestion, or environmental damage — this is the upgrade to standard toning.

Key ingredients

What's inside, and why.

  • 01

    Matcha Tea Leaf Water

    A luxurious aqueous extract rich in amino acids, polyphenols, minerals, and caffeine that prevents oxidative stress, stimulates micro-circulation for skin detoxification, protects against UV damage, and slows premature ageing through powerful antioxidant activity.

  • Gluconolactone
    02

    Gluconolactone

    A naturally occurring polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that provides gentle exfoliation and moisturising activity. More gentle than AHAs while offering similar skincare benefits, it also provides antioxidant protection and has been shown to be as effective as benzoyl peroxide in treating acne.

  • Sodium Salicylate
    03

    Sodium Salicylate

    The sodium salt of salicylic acid that helps minimise sebaceous lipid accumulation and excess oil production while strengthening barrier function and purifying congested skin.

  • Butylene Glycol
    04

    Butylene Glycol

    A hydrating humectant that draws moisture into the skin, enhancing hydration, improving product spreadability, and preparing skin for optimal absorption of subsequent treatments.

  • Triethylene Glycol
    05

    Triethylene Glycol

    A multi-functional humectant that enhances skin hydration, improves formula stability, and works synergistically with other moisturising ingredients to maintain skin moisture and comfort.

What makes this different from other antioxidant toners?

Most antioxidant toners focus on delivering a single active — green tea extract, vitamin E, or similar — and calling it antioxidant protection. Matcha Tea Mist approaches antioxidant protection differently: Matcha Tea Leaf Water is nutrient-dense (amino acids, polyphenols, minerals, caffeine) and actively stimulates skin micro-circulation, which means skin doesn't just receive antioxidant protection, it receives better blood flow, better oxygenation, and better detoxification. That's why it's described as "health plant by excellence." But it doesn't stop there. The formula also includes Gluconolactone — a gentle polyhydroxy acid that provides exfoliation alongside the antioxidant benefits — and Sodium Salicylate for oil regulation and pore purification. Most antioxidant toners are hydrating and protective. This one hydrates, protects, exfoliates, and purifies simultaneously. It's a complete treatment step, not just an antioxidant delivery system.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes — the formula suits all skin types, though it's optimised for normal to oily skin. The Gluconolactone is a gentle PHA rather than a harsh AHA, which makes it considerably gentler than many exfoliating toners. If you have extremely reactive or sensitive skin, this is gentler than the Salicylic Foam Cleanse & Peel, but it's still formulated as a purifying toner rather than purely hydrating. For very sensitive skin, the Monsoon Mist Tone & Peel would be the gentler choice. For normal to oily sensitive skin, this balances protection with purification beautifully.

When should I use this — morning or evening?

Both. Morning use: cleanse → apply Matcha Tea Mist → apply serum (vitamin C, hydrating, etc.) → apply moisturiser → sunscreen. The matcha's antioxidant protection and micro-circulation boost are especially valuable before sun exposure. Evening use: cleanse → apply Matcha Tea Mist → apply targeted treatment (retinol, peptide serum, etc.) → apply night cream. The gentle exfoliation and purification support cell renewal overnight. This is an essential step either way, not optional.

How do I use it?

After cleansing, apply the toner by spraying over face and neck. Do not rinse off. Follow with the rest of your morning or evening skincare routine. For daytime, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Once opened, use within 6 months.

When will I see results?

Immediate results on first use — skin feels refreshed, hydrated, and purified, with a visible glow from the micro-circulation stimulation. The purifying and gentle exfoliating benefits compound over two to three weeks of regular use: congestion decreases, skin tone becomes noticeably more even and luminous, dullness lifts, and oil production reduces. Unlike harsh exfoliants that cause visible peeling and irritation, this gentle approach means cumulative brightening and clarification without disruption. Clients with oily, congested, or dull skin notice visible improvement in clarity and radiance within two to three weeks of twice-daily use.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Yes — Matcha Tea and the supporting ingredients are safe for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The formula contains no retinoids, no high-concentration chemical exfoliants, and no restricted actives. For pregnant clients dealing with hormonal breakouts, oil production, and dull skin — all common during pregnancy — this gentle purifying and antioxidant-rich toner is ideal. The antioxidant protection from Matcha Tea is especially valuable during pregnancy when oxidative stress can increase.

Will it dry my skin out if I'm oily but also sensitive?

No — despite containing exfoliating actives, this is formulated with hydrating humectants (Butylene Glycol and Triethylene Glycol) that maintain moisture throughout. The Gluconolactone provides gentle exfoliation without the stripping and drying typical of harsher BHAs. Oily skin often gets dehydrated (water loss despite oil presence), and this formula addresses that specifically: it purifies oil while hydrating skin, which is a much better approach than stripping dehydrated oily skin further.

How long does a 400ml bottle last?

At 2-3 spritzes morning and evening (the mist format means a little goes a long way), a 400ml bottle lasts approximately two to three months. The spray application is efficient and luxurious — you're not overloading or wasting product. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal freshness and efficacy.

Is it worth it for a toning mist?

The value case is the combination of what this delivers. A basic hydrating toner hydrates. A treatment serum delivers actives. An antioxidant toner provides protection. This toner does all three plus gentle exfoliation and oil regulation — in a single luxurious step. The Matcha Tea Leaf Water is genuinely luxurious and potent (it's literally called "green gold of Japan"), and the supporting ingredients ensure it's not just a pretty addition but a functional treatment. For clients in urban environments dealing with pollution, environmental stress, excess oil, and dullness — or clients wanting genuine antioxidant protection and micro-circulation stimulation — this is the upgrade that delivers visible brightening and clarification within weeks. For clients already investing in good serums and treatments, this is the step that optimises their efficacy.
