How does this toner gently exfoliate without over-drying?

The toner uses a combination of fruit-derived AHA and salicylic BHA to loosen dead skin cells and clarify pores while hydrating apple water and fruit extracts help preserve moisture. Its balanced formulation avoids strong alcohols and abrasive particles.

• AHA from fruit extracts smooths surface texture.
• BHA assists pore clearing and reduces congestion.
• Apple water and fruit extracts maintain hydration and soothe.
• Low irritation approach: no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or animal testing.

• Apply on cleansed skin with a cotton pad or palms.
• Follow with hydrating serum and moisturizer.
• Sunscreen is recommended for daytime use after application.
