COSRX AHA/BHA Treatment Toner 150ml — 0.1% AHA & BHA Exfoliating Mist for Smooth, Refined Pores

COSRX AHA/BHA Treatment Toner is a gentle, leave-on exfoliating toner that smooths skin texture, helps clear whiteheads, and refines pores with low-dose AHA and BHA plus botanical waters.

This lightweight Korean toner combines 0.1% AHA (glycolic acid) and BHA (betaine salicylate) in a mild, sprayable formula enriched with apple fruit water and willow bark water. Designed for regular use, it reduces surface dullness and helps prep skin for serums and moisturizers without harsh irritation. The mist texture makes it easy to layer into morning or evening routines, and the formula is cruelty-free and free from common harsh additives.

How does this toner improve rough or uneven skin texture?

The low concentration of glycolic acid gently loosens dead skin cells while beta‑hydroxy derivative penetrates pores to address congestion. Used consistently, the toner helps reveal smoother, more even-looking skin without over-exfoliating.

• 0.1% AHA glycolic acid removes surface dullness and flaking.
• BHA (betaine salicylate) targets within pores to reduce whiteheads.
• Daily use keeps texture soft without aggressive stripping.

Can I use this toner on sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formulation balances active acids at a mild strength and pairs them with soothing botanical waters to minimize sensitivity. Patch testing is recommended; if redness or strong irritation occurs, discontinue and consult a skincare professional.

• 10% apple fruit water and willow bark water help soothe and hydrate.
• Low acid percentages reduce the risk of over-irritation.
• Dermatologist-tested and free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

How should I incorporate this toner into my skincare routine?

Spritz or apply onto a cotton pad after cleansing and before treatment serums or moisturizer. It can also be used as a quick toner mask to boost hydration and softening when skin feels rough or flaky.

• Use once daily at first, then increase frequency as tolerated.
• Saturate a cotton pad for a 3–5 minute toner mask when extra hydration is needed.
• Follow with antioxidant serums and SPF in the morning to protect fresh skin cells.

What results can I expect and when will I see them?

Initial improvements in surface smoothness and brightness are often noticeable within one to two weeks, with clearer pores and fewer whiteheads after consistent use over several weeks. Individual results vary by skin type and routine consistency.

• Immediate: softer skin feel and more even appearance.
• 2–4 weeks: reduced whiteheads and refined pores with steady use.
• Ongoing: maintained clarity when combined with sun protection and gentle cleansers.

Who this is for: COSRX AHA/BHA Treatment Toner is suited for anyone looking to gently exfoliate without heavy irritation — particularly those with dull surface texture, occasional whiteheads, or visible pores. It's appropriate for most skin types seeking a mild daily chemical exfoliant, though sensitive or reactive skin types should introduce it slowly and monitor for irritation. Ideal for users who prefer lightweight, mist-style toners and cruelty-free, minimal-additive formulations.
