COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner 150ml – Gentle Daily Exfoliating Toner

Overview

COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner 150ml is a gentle, daily-use exfoliating toner designed to smooth skin texture, clear congestion, and prep your skin for the rest of your routine. Powered by a blend of AHA (glycolic acid), BHA (betaine salicylate), and naturally derived apple and willow bark waters, it helps keep pores clear and surface buildup in check without a heavy or sticky feel.

This light, water-like toner is ideal for beginners to chemical exfoliation and for those seeking soft, daily smoothing rather than an intense peel. It’s an easy add-to-cart option if you’re shopping for a simple, effective exfoliating step that supports clearer, softer, more balanced-looking skin.

Key Features

• AHA + BHA blend to gently exfoliate the surface and help clear congestion.
• Pyrus malus (apple) fruit water and willow bark water as naturally derived exfoliating waters.
• Helps smooth rough texture and soften the look of dry, flaky patches.
• Targets clogged pores and excess oil to support clearer-looking skin.
• Lightweight, watery toner texture that absorbs quickly and layers well under serums and creams.
• Suitable for daily use for most skin types, including sensitive when introduced slowly.

Who’s It For

• Skin types: normal, combination, oily, and some sensitive skin.
• Those new to chemical exfoliation who want a gentle, daily option.
• Concerns: congested pores, uneven texture, dullness, and excess oil.
• Anyone looking for a low-maintenance exfoliating toner to keep pores clear and skin smoother.

If you’re just getting into AHAs and BHAs or want a soft, daily clarifying step rather than a strong acid treatment rather than a strong acid treatment, this is a great choice to add to your routine.

Key Benefits

• Exfoliates and smooths: Glycolic acid and betaine salicylate gently remove dead surface cells for a softer, more refined texture.
• Clears and refines pores: BHA and willow bark water help keep pores clearer and support a more balanced-looking T-zone.
• Supports clearer-looking skin: Regular use helps reduce the look of congestion and dull buildup, making skin look fresher and more even.
• Balances oil and hydration: Apple fruit water, sodium lactate, and humectants help maintain a comfortable balance rather than stripping the skin.
• Preps skin for next steps: Lightweight toner format preps skin for better absorption of serums and moisturizers, making it a strong add-to-cart option if you’re shopping for a foundation exfoliating step.
