The COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner is a gentle, daily exfoliating toner formulated with a combination of AHA, BHA, and purifying botanical ingredients to improve skin texture, clear pores, and balance oil production.
Benefits
The toner provides several key benefits:
- Gentle Exfoliation: Formulated with 0.1% AHA (glycolic acid) and 0.1% BHA (betaine salicylate), it helps remove dullness, dead skin cells, and impurities on the skin's surface and within the pores.
- Clearer Complexion: It helps prevent the formation of whiteheads and blackheads by keeping pores clear and controlling excess oil production.
- Soothing and Softening: Enriched with botanical waters (willow bark and apple fruit water) and ingredients like allantoin and panthenol, it soothes irritation and softens the skin.
- pH Balancing: Helps restore the skin's natural, slightly acidic pH balance after cleansing, which is crucial for a healthy skin barrier.
-
Prepares Skin: Enhances the absorption and effectiveness of subsequent skincare products.
Active Ingredients
The formula is minimal and potent, utilizing natural plant-derived acids and soothing agents:
- Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water (10%): A natural source of BHA that provides gentle exfoliation and helps reduce breakouts and inflammation.
- Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water (10%): A natural source of AHA (malic acid) and vitamins that help revitalize the skin and improve texture.
- Glycolic Acid (0.1%): An AHA that exfoliates the surface of the skin, improving texture, brightness, and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
- Betaine Salicylate (0.1%): A gentle, oil-soluble BHA that penetrates deep into pores to clear congestion and balance oil production.
- Allantoin & Panthenol: Soothing and moisturizing ingredients that calm the skin and help reduce potential irritation from the acids.
Who Can Use It
This gentle toner is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, due to its low concentration of active acids.
- It is an excellent option for those new to chemical exfoliants.
- Caution: Individuals with an aspirin allergy should avoid this product because the BHA (Betaine Salicylate) is structurally similar to aspirin.
How to Use
The toner can be used daily, once or twice a day, after cleansing.
- After cleansing, spray the toner onto a cotton pad.
- Gently wipe the saturated cotton pad across your face, avoiding the sensitive eye and mouth areas.
- Do Not Rinse: Allow the toner to absorb into the skin.
- Follow-up: Continue with your usual serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products. For daytime use, it is essential to follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater, as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.
- Pro Tip: For immediate hydration and soothing, saturate several cotton pads with the toner and place them on dry or irritated areas of the face like a mask for a few minutes.
