TABLETS
TABLETS: Tonik Apple Cider Vinegar soft gel capsules are tasteless and gag-free, making them super-easy to take.
They advise to take up to six a day, which was too many for me, so I stuck to three.
After a week’s worth of tablets, I found myself less bloated after meals and with clearer skin.

BUDGET
A highly concentrated toner to deeply cleanse pores, remove oils and gently exfoliate. Can be used morning and night on clean skin followed by your usual serum or moisturiser.
This tingled and left my T-section a little red, so for me it’s best used just a few times a week.
MID
A ten per cent lactic acid peel to gently exfoliate, even your skin tone and improve pigmentation.
Used in the evening, I felt a faint tingling sensation, but this particular acid incorporates Tasmanian pepperberry to soothe skin and reduce irritation.
I found this left my skin blemish-free. A five per cent option is also available.

A lightweight liquid exfoliant containing two per cent salicylic acid to remove dead skin cells as well as reduce blackheads and enlarged pores.
Easily applied with a cotton pad and gentle enough to use daily, it hugely improved my skin tone as well as reduced blemishes. It’s now a permanent part of my routine.
