AHA BHA Clarifying Toner

The AHA BHA Clarifying Toner by COSRX is a gentle chemical-exfoliating toner formulated with AHA (glycolic acid) and BHA (betaine salicylate), plus botanical waters (willow bark & apple fruit). It works to refine skin texture, unclog pores, and remove dead skin cells while still maintaining hydration and balance.

This toner supports skin vitality, manages excess oil, and helps your skin look clearer and smoother. Its mild formula is suitable for beginners in chemical exfoliation and can be used by a variety of skin types (except extremely sensitive).

Free of harsh alcohols, parabens, and artificial fragrances.

1. After cleansing, spray or saturate a cotton pad with toner.
   
2. Gently wipe across face, avoiding eye & lip areas.
   
3. Use once daily (or alternate nights) depending on skin sensitivity.
   
4. In morning routines, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+).
   
5. Avoid layering with other strong acids or retinoids immediately after.
   

Tip: Use as a “toner mask” by soaking cotton pads and placing them on spots (5–10 min) where skin is congested.
