How to use
General guidance from this product's category and active ingredients — always follow the directions on the package.
Trust & honesty
Contains ingredients some choose to avoid or double-check while pregnant or nursing.
Low-strength topical salicylic acid (BHA) is generally considered fine. Caution is usually reserved for high-strength leave-on products and salicylic peels.
This is general information, not medical advice. Pregnancy guidance varies and depends on concentration and your individual situation — always check with your doctor, midwife or pharmacist. How we flag this.
The concentrations these actives are typically effective at in research — not a measurement of this product.
Salicylic acid is OTC-capped at 2%; 0.5–2% is the usual leave-on range. Much below that it acts more as a soothing agent than an exfoliant.
Salicylic Acid
OTC leave-on AHAs are usually 5–10%. The effect also depends on pH and free-acid value, not the percentage alone.
Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid
INCI lists don't disclose amounts, and we don't claim to know this product's levels — these are the ranges these ingredients are usually effective at, so you can tell a real formula from "fairy-dusting" a marketed active. How we estimate this.

I was looking for a toner that would gently exfoliate, and I think I've found it. My skin feels softer and smoother and looks it too. This in combination with the cleanser I'm currently using (Missha Snail Cleanser) cleared my skin within a few days of the stress blemishes I have been getting. I will say though that as someone with very, very sensitive skin, this has made my skin slightly more sensitive and more prone to redness. But to me, that's to be expected of any chemical exfoliation; t...
the toner makes my skin dry and skin peeling.. understand that AHA and BHA is for chemical exfoliation but this one may be too strong for my oil skin... it doesnt helps on reducing my acne, worse is my face become senstive and have tingling feel after application.
