Why We Love It

Glycolic acid and Jamaican superfruit acids help to remove dead skin buildup and boost radiance. Licorice root extract targets discoloration and improves the look of uneven tone. Regular use will help to fade the look of dark spots, improve bumpy or rough texture, and soften the appearance of clogged pores, fine lines, and wrinkles.

How to Use

This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Start with 2-3 times a week and increase use as skin adjusts, but no more than once a day.

On clean skin, saturate a cotton pad with the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic and sweep over face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and limit sun exposure after using. Do not layer with a retinoid or other exfoliators. You may experience slight tingling.

Notes from Dr. Ingleton

Glycolic acid is one of my go-to ingredients for uneven tone and dullness. I formulated this at 8%, effective enough to visibly smooth and refine, gentle enough for consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic during the day?

Yes! It’s a common misconception that you should avoid using AHA exfoliants in the morning. While glycolic acid and other exfoliants do make your skin sensitive to the sun, this is true whether you decide to use them during the day or in the evening. The important thing is to wear SPF during the day and to avoid excessive sun exposure.

Is the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic safe to use on sensitive skin?

We developed the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic to be both effective and gentle for all skin types. However, we realize that everyone’s skin is different, so if you have any specific sensitivities or allergies, we recommend conducting a patch test before using any new skincare product. If you have particularly sensitive skin, we suggest using it once or twice a week to start, letting your skin adjust before increasing the frequency.

Can I use the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic with retinoids like tretinoin?

We do not recommend layering the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic with retinoids like tretinoin in the same routine. Instead, we recommend using it in the mornings (always use SPF) or two to three times a week at night while skipping your retinoid, depending on your skin’s tolerance. Make sure your skin is adjusted to your retinoid product before you add in the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic, and take it slow!

Is the SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic safe for use during pregnancy?

All our products are considered safe to use during pregnancy. However, as with any product, we recommend consulting your obstetrician first. The SuperFruit Exfoliating Tonic does include licorice root extract, which can be an issue when ingested in large quantities. It is not considered unsafe in topical products due to the limited amount absorbed into your system, but we recommend asking your obstetrician prior to use.

What if I have a question on which ROSE MD product is right for me?

We offer complimentary pre-purchase consultations. Email hello@rosemdskin.com with details about your skin type, concerns, and current routine and our team will provide personalized recommendations. We typically respond within 48 business hours.

Are ROSE MD products safe for sensitive skin?

Our products are formulated without fragrance and developed to minimize common irritants. We recommend patch testing before use and reviewing the ingredient list if you have known sensitivities. Questions about specific ingredients? Email hello@rosemdskin.com - our team typically responds within 48 business hours.

How long does shipping usually take?

Orders are processed within 3–5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays), with longer processing times during high-volume periods. Once shipped, delivery takes 3–4 business days to the East Coast and 5–7 business days to the West Coast. Questions? Email us at hello@rosemdskin.com.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this exfoliating tonic improves skin texture and tone, leaving skin feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed without excessive dryness. Many report noticeable brightening and evening of skin tone within weeks of use. Users appreciate that it helps serums absorb better and doesn't irritate sensitive skin like other toners. Common feedback includes a gentle tingling sensation and visible glow after consistent use. While most praise its effectiveness for various skin concerns, some find it too strong and prefer using it every other day. A few customers report minimal results or breakouts, though the majority express satisfaction and plan to continue purchasing.

    So good!

    I’ve been using for over three weeks now and have noticed a big difference in my skin tone and texture. I did had some minor peeling here and there, which is a good thing. I have a minimal skin care regime and adding this tonic has helped a lot. I’m loving my skin and will continue to purchase and recommend to my family and friends.

    Bottle is way smaller than previous

    This is my 3rd order because I love the way this product feels on my skin. However, the bottle is way smaller but the price is still the same. This is ashamed…

    Hi there! While the size of the bottle has changed, you're still getting exactly 5 oz. of product. The new bottle holds the same volume as the previous one because it has thinner-yet-sturdier walls. We updated the bottle due to concerns about breakage and accessibility, but don't worry—the formula is the exact same one you love. :)

    10/10 Best for your skin!

    I genuinely love every product RoseMD creates. Most recently, I picked up Old Faithful, the Exfoliating Wash, and the Toner, and let me tell you, those two together are a game changer! They keep my skin looking so healthy that even on days when I skip moisturizer or the Brightening Serum, I’m still glowing thanks to the OGs.
