Why it works

Enriched with Indian gooseberry extract and black tea, its skin-renewing formula replenishes moisture, brightens uneven tone, and fades hyperpigmentation—without compromising skin comfort.

What it does

FAQs

Can I use NMF while pregnant/breastfeeding?

Yes. It is safe to use NMF while pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant and have any concerns please consult your doctor.
A full list of ingredients can be found above and on the product packaging.

What are the main differences between lactic & glycolic acid?

Both glycolic acid and lactic acid are alpha hydroxy acids. Glycolic acid has a smaller molecular size and therefore penetrates the deeper layers of the skin.
Both acids break down the glue that holds dead skin cells together. Lactic acid has the added function of rebuilding the skin’s natural moisture levels and so it’s more hydrating.
Lactic acid is more suitable for sensitive skin because it functions at the upper dermal layers.

What is the actual percentage of lactic acid in the solution?

The percentage of lactic acid in NMF which is free to work directly on the skin is 5.34%.

I have dry / dehydrated skin. Will an acid toner dry out my skin?

New generation toners are not harsh and will not strip the skin. They are as hydrating as they are exfoliating.
If you have very dry skin, we would recommend that you try NMF, a lactic acid toner that is ultra-hydrating and a sensitive skin hero.
Lactic acid is even more hydrating than glycolic acid but delivers gentle exfoliation at the same time.

    Best Toner Ever

    I've been using a DIY toner for years since I have sensitive skin and decided to try this toner since I enjoy their Hydrate Moisturizer and Pure Hyaluronic Serum products. I have to say it's the best toner I've EVER used. It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed and supple. It doesn't dry out the skin which other toners tend to do. I bought the 80ml to try it out on my sensitive skin and will purchase the 200ml going forward. Bravo P&M!

    EXCELLENT GENTLE ACID TONER

    This is the best toner I have ever used. I have sensitive dry peri-menopause skin with hormonal outbreaks which has completely cleared up with this product. My skin is now glowing. Thank you Pestle and Mortar.

    My skin feels fresh and bright

    Bought this toner when I saw Caroline Hirons raving about it on her Instagram and it didn't disappoint! I have sensitive skin and find that most acid toners break me out. This is definitely the best toner I've used. My skin feels fresh and bright. Great product for sensitive skin.

    would recommend this product to all of my friends!

    Have been looking for a milder acid toner for a long time. Have been using this product for two weeks and can see a huge difference in my skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated - not like other toners which dry my skin out. I'm 56 and would recommend this product to all of my friends!
