Step 1 | Prepare: Bare & Prepare TONER
Plant Based Gentle Exfoliating Toner
Our Bare & Prepare TONER packs a powerful but GENTLE punch. Featuring two plant derived exfoliators, Glycolic Acid and Gluconolactone, our toner helps prepare your skin to maximize the effectiveness of our renowned Brighten & Tighten VITAMIN C SERUM. This crucial step effectively preforms a clean sweep to help smooth your path to glowing skin!
Glycolic Acid boosts collagen production, speeds up cell turnover, and polishes your skin. Gluconolactone increases skin density and elasticity, and helps to repair your skin barrier. These two exfoliators are surrounded by organically distilled botanical hydrosols and extracts, all which deliver additional age defying and skin conditioning benefits that your skin will thank you for. Our Bare & Prepare TONER is your foundational step for smooth, glowing skin while being gentle enough for daily use.

Active/Key Ingredients
Active/Key Ingredients
10% Gluconolactone, 5% Glycolic Acid
GLUCONOLACTONE is a PHA (polyhydroxy acid), which is as effective as an AHA, but much gentler (3). Long term benefits include decreased wrinkles and increased skin density (4). It is also a great moisturizer that helps to repair an impaired skin barrier, while also preventing moisture loss.
GLYCOLIC ACID is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that boosts collagen production, speeds up cell turnover, and exfoliates the skin (1). It brightens and polishes skin texture to create a youthful and dewy luster and reduces the appearance of dull and crinkled skin. Glycolic acid exfoliation not only accelerates skin cell rejuvenation, but also allows for deeper penetration of other skin care ingredients (2).
*AHA's may cause what is known as a "purge". It usually mimics a breakout and is temporary. You can help mitigate this by starting slowly (once or twice a week, then working your way up to daily use) with Bare & Prepare TONER, or by using it with a little water on your skin to dilute it's strength. The good news is that it means the actives are working at turning over new skin cells, and ultimately, your skin will will thank you for it. You can easily research more about purging and take comfort in the fact that it is worth it!

Directions: Apply 1 - 2 pumps (dime size) on clean dry skin. Gently massage into face, neck, and chest until FULLY ABSORBED. Let dry completely before moving on to next step. Use ONCE daily. Suitable for all skin types, but those with sensitive skin should proceed slowly.
*If you have never used an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), start slowly at once or twice a week, then work your way up to daily use, or apply to wet/damp skin to slightly dilute strength.
*AHA's can cause sun sensitivity, ALWAYS use sunscreen daily*

Pro-Tips
Pro-Tips
Use 1-2 pumps directly in your hand or 2-4 pumps when using a cotton round. Be sure to wet the round first and squeeze out all excess water, then apply toner to the round. By wetting the round first, it absorbs less toner, keeping more available for your skin. Feed your skin, not the cotton!
Morning time saver- use a small USB rechargeable hand-held fan to speed up the dry down time of the first two steps (TONER & VITAMIN C SERUM). The cool air feels fantastic, and It cuts dry down time in half. (Use for about 30 seconds after applying each of the first two steps.)
Each 2 oz bottle has approximately 460 pumps. At 4 pumps a day (on wet cotton round), it should last close to 4 months. At 2 pumps a day, that's close to 8 months!

Step 1 was new to me; I have bought toners in the past but was not sure when to implement the product. It is so nice to know exactly when and how to apply it for it to be the most beneficial. I was worried my skin would be more dry, but my skin is absolutely loving it! I can see my skin coloring evening out and looking more even!
New steps can be challanging, but we are so glad you took the leap to try something new! The fact that your skin is absolutely loving our Bare & Prepare TONER, and that you are experinecing more even looking skin makes our day. Even, happy skin is what we live for! Thanks for sharing! xx
I always equated to toner to something for
teenagers! Remember the days of Oxy pads and witch hazel!? This is NOTHING like your teenage days. This toner leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed, not tight or dry. It’s a step I didn’t know I needed, now I don’t go without!
You are so right- this isn't your teenagers toner! Finding a toner that actually exfoliates, yet is gentle and doesn't dry out your skin, is exactly the balance our Bare & Prepare TONER achieves. All part of what nourishes your skin and helps it glow! Thanks for sharing! xx
Bare and prepare toner is a wonderful toner for my daily skincare routine it soothes my skin and I don’t have dryness or itching. Great for sensitive skin like mine.
We are so glad that our effective Bare & Prepare TONER is gentle enough for your sensitive skin. Thanks so much for sharing!
This Step 1 toner leaves my skin feeling so clean & eliminates any irritations I’ve got going on. I’ve never used a toner that actually felt like it was adding anything to my skin and typically, toners leave me feelIng super dried out.
With 6 little kids at home, I honestly look forward to wash time so I can apply the Bare & Repair toner and enjoy a couple moments to hit reset while I enjoy the cool fresh feeling to start and finish my days.
Great first step to a simple, clean, and effective skin care routine!
Thank you so much for your sharing your love for our Bare & Prepare TONER- we appreciate it! So happy that we can be a little bit of calm in your very busy days!
I have never used a toner before but now I will never skip this step. The bare and prepare toner is very refreshing and invigorating!
Yes it is refreshing and invigorating! Thank you so much for taking the time to let everyone know- much appreciated.
Let customers speak for us
from 56 reviewsI am officially OBSESSED with this oil!!! I want to bathe in it. :) The oil feels like such a treat at the end of the day, I look forward to my nightly routine just because I know I get to slather this on! It smells incredible and is the only oil I can use that doesn’t break me out. My skin looks amazing. I do use other PB products which I love, but this is my fav! It helps with the texture of my skin and helps keep me moisturized. I’ve noticed a huge difference on the back of my hands, they were so dry and starting to look so old. I looked down tonight and they look amazing, I have 20 year old hands again!! (I’m 42) I’m so thankful to have found Pure Blossom!! No hesitation, you need this oil, now!!
I feel like my skin looks 100% times better since using this skin care line. I can see a difference & I can feel the difference. I am blown away!
I LOVE the vitamin C serum. I am so happy to have found a legit and natural vitamin C serum. It's been about 4 months of me using the products, and so many people have commented on the fact that my skin is glowy! I am so happy to have found a line that I trust and am seeing results
I love how my skin feels after using this product. So far everything I have tried is just wonderful. My skin feels hydrated and looks so much better after consistently using Pure Blossom Products.
This serum is everything! I’ve struggled with dark circles, sun damage, and melasma but have noticed a considerable difference in my skin tone after using this C serum for just 3 months. I took this recent pic after cleaning my face and using the whole line. You can feel this stuff working its magic. I’m hooked!

I recently gave these out at all of the white elephant parties I went to this holiday season- they were an absolute HIT! Doesn’t hurt that my skin GLOWS after using this whole line religiously. Best skincare line I have ever used!!
This stuff is the ULTIMATE vitamin C serum for brightening and evening skin tone!! Absolutely obsessed with this whole line, and this is the most effective Vitamin C product I’ve ever used in general. I keep it in my mini fridge on my counter and use it daily!
I have sensitive skin, so have had problems in the past with expensive products that just do more harm than good. Enter Pure Blossom and their sample pack! Knowing Deb, the creator of Pure Blossom for many years, I know how beautiful her skin has always looked, as well as a lifelong dedication to overall health and wellness of her mind, body and spirit.
I was very eager to try her new line, but still a bit apprehensive about how my skin would react. So very glad they have the sample pack available, and so very glad I purchased it! My skin looks and feels amazing, and I am super thrilled with the vitamin C serum especially! The routine is easy to follow, and results are very impressive. I will be upping to the full sizes and looking into other products in the line as well. Phew, what a relief. Finally, a skin care routine my 61-year-old delicate skin can handle. Thank you!
I have dry skin and I can never get enough hydration, especially in the winter. I've tried several different brands, and I have to say, I love this product. It has a great mist that is light and dewy. I hold it a few inches from my face and it covers perfectly. I keep it in my purse and spritz before my meetings. It smells good too.
I've always had sensitive skin - to products, to weather, to hormones, to change. Pure Blossom is the first complete product line that makes my 51-year old skin breathe and glow. I now have strangers complimenting my skin! And the best compliment? When my teenager and her friends tell me my skin is glowing and I look so young. I'm obsessed with this now!
I recently tried several Pure Blossom Skin products including the Brighten & Tighten Vitamin C Serum, and I was completely shocked by the wonderful results. My under eye area is what I consider my problem zone and am amazed to see and feel a positive change in my skin almost immediately. I am now obsessed with Pure Blossom Skin and grateful to find a healthy, pure-ingredients and effective skin care line, thank you from your new devoted customer.
I have loved how my skin has transformed over the course of a month. I’m also out of my sample kit and plan to order a complete kit soon. I love how everyone comments how good my skin looks but above all I love feeling how good my skin looks. I’ve really been so happy with the product. Hoping a facial cleaner comes out soon to use along with the steps. Make up is so much easier to put on too. Great job creating this product. Haven’t loved any line more.
Talk about moisturizing! Wow, this is one of my favorite steps. As an Arizona girl, I need all the moisture I can get!! A little hack that I have been LOVING recently is putting a little bit of this product under my eyes in the morning. It helps brighten my under eye area and adds a bit of moisture!
I love this oil! The scent is incredible. I really like how it is lightweight and not too oily it really absorbs nicely. I wear heal and seal oil daily on my face in the morning and before bed. My skin is soft and hydrated. I highly recommend this product!
