COSRX AHA/BHA Treatment Toner 150ml — gentle exfoliating facial mist with 0.1% AHA & BHA for smoothing pores and brightening

COSRX AHA/BHA Treatment Toner is a lightweight exfoliating facial mist that refines texture, clears dullness, and helps reduce pore congestion with a gentle 0.1% AHA (glycolic acid) and BHA (betaine salicylate) formula.

This Korean toner arrives as a refreshing spray designed for daily use: it blends low-dose chemical exfoliants with botanical waters to loosen dead skin, smooth surface roughness, and help skin appear brighter without harsh irritation. The mist format makes it simple to apply as a spritz, a cotton-pad toner, or a quick toner mask, and the 150 ml bottle fits easily into most routines. COSRX keeps the formula straightforward — no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and the product is cruelty-free and dermatologist tested.

How will this toner affect my skin texture and pore appearance?

The combined AHA and BHA work at different layers: glycolic acid gently loosens surface dead skin, while betaine salicylate helps clear within pores. Together they reduce buildups that create roughness and visible pores, giving a smoother overall finish over regular use.

• 0.1% glycolic acid for mild surface exfoliation
• BHA (betaine salicylate) to help clear pore congestion
• Use 2–3 times weekly initially, then increase based on tolerance

Can I use this toner daily and how do I apply it safely?

The mist is formulated for gentle, repeated use, but start gradually to assess sensitivity. Apply after cleansing: either spray across the face and pat in, saturate a cotton pad for a targeted wipe, or soak pads for a quick toner mask. Always follow with sunscreen in the daytime when using exfoliants.

• Spritz 2–3 times for an even light layer
• For stronger effect, saturate cotton pad and leave on for 3–5 minutes
• Use nighttime or pair with SPF next morning

What natural ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula pairs mild acids with botanical waters to balance exfoliation and hydration. Apple fruit water (10%) and willow bark water provide gentle natural support: apple delivers mild brightening and willow bark supplies additional salicylate-based benefits in a soothing plant extract form.

• 10% Pyrus malus (apple) fruit water for gentle revitalization
• Salix alba (willow bark) water for calming, plant-based salicylates
• Simple base formulated to minimize irritation risk

Is this toner suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The low acid concentration aims to keep the product approachable for many skin types, including acne-prone complexions seeking exfoliation without aggressive strength. If you have reactive or highly sensitive skin, patch-test and introduce gradually; consult a skincare professional if you are using prescription treatments.

• Hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested
• Free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates — cruelty-free
• Patch-test recommended for reactive skin
