COSRX AHA BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner — 150 ml

A lightweight, gentle exfoliating toner that helps clear congested pores, smooth rough texture and brighten dull skin. Formulated with both AHA (water‑soluble acids) and BHA (oil‑soluble acids), this treatment toner supports surface exfoliation and deeper pore cleansing while preparing skin to better absorb following skincare steps.

Key benefits

• Gently exfoliates dead skin cells and surface buildup
• Helps unclog pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads
• Smooths skin texture and promotes a brighter, more even tone
• Lightweight, watery texture that layers easily under serums and moisturizers
• Minimal fragrance — suitable for those who prefer low‑scent products

Main actives

• AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) — dissolve dead skin and surface keratin for improved radiance and texture
• BHA (beta hydroxy acids, e.g., salicylic acid) — oil‑soluble exfoliant that helps penetrate and clear pores
• Soothing/hydrating supports — formulated to reduce irritation often associated with chemical exfoliation (contains hydrating and calming components)

(Note: exact ingredient concentrations are proprietary to COSRX. Always patch test before full use.)

Texture & scent

• Texture: thin, watery/essence‑like — absorbs quickly without stickiness
• Scent: very mild or near‑neutral; not heavily fragranced

How to use

1. Cleanse skin thoroughly.
2. Shake gently if needed. Pour a few drops onto a cotton pad or into your hands.
3. Sweep gently over face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
4. Follow with serums and moisturizer.
5. Start slowly: 2–3 times per week, then increase frequency as tolerated (many users move to nightly use).
6. Always apply broad‑spectrum sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating acids.

Who it’s for

• Oily, combination and acne‑prone skin that needs pore care and texture smoothing
• Skin with dullness, mild congestion or uneven texture
• Those looking for a gentle chemical exfoliant to add to their routine

Precautions

• Patch test before first use.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation, redness or burning occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if needed.
• Use sunscreen daily — AHAs/BHAs can increase sun sensitivity.
• Avoid using multiple strong acid products or combining with other potent actives (e.g., strong retinoids) without professional guidance.

Why choose it

Quick FAQ

• Can I use it every day? Start slowly (2–3×/week) and increase as tolerated. Some users use nightly once skin adapts.
• Can I layer vitamin C or retinol? Use caution — combining multiple strong actives can increase irritation. If using vitamin C or retinol, space them out (AM/PM) or alternate nights.
• Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Sensitive skin types should patch test and introduce gradually; discontinue if irritation occurs.
