Anua BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner 150ml

Overview

Anua BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner 150ml is a pore-refining liquid exfoliant formulated with 2% salicylic acid (BHA), soothing botanicals, and barrier-supporting ceramides. It helps to unclog pores, smooth texture, and reduce the look of congestion while maintaining hydration and comfort for daily or regular use, depending on skin tolerance.

Key Features & Benefits

• 2% BHA (salicylic acid): Oil-soluble exfoliant that helps clear debris inside pores, reduce the look of blackheads, and refine texture.
• Pore and blemish care: Tea tree extract, willow leaf extract, and zinc sulfate support congestion-prone, oily, or combination skin.
• Hydrating and barrier-conscious: Hyaluronic acid complex, panthenol, and ceramides help maintain moisture and support the skin barrier.
• Gentle liquid texture: Lightweight toner consistency that layers easily under serums and moisturizers.
• Multi-amino acid blend: Amino acids and moisturizing factors help keep skin feeling balanced and comfortable.

How to Use

1. After cleansing (PM is preferred), apply a small amount of toner onto a cotton pad or clean hands.
2. Gently sweep over the face, focusing on areas with visible pores or congestion (e.g. T-zone, chin), avoiding the eye and lip areas.
3. Allow it to absorb fully before applying serum and moisturizer.
4. Start 2–3 times per week; if your skin tolerates it well, you may gradually increase frequency. Do not use on the same night as strong acids or retinoids unless directed by a professional.
5. Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning when using exfoliating products.
